That's nice to hear that I was not the only one that has had a good experence with them. They had some issues with my lock rings fitting correctly on my wheels. They took good care of me.

Its my neighbor Jason's 1986 CJ 7. He bought it from a guy who lived on Manor just north of China Grade. It has the Detroit lockers front and rear I believe, and a spring over lift.

Hi Bert,

I called Chuchupate Ranger Station 661 245-3731 and they said that Lockwood trail and Miller Jeep trail are still closed due to ice conditions at the higher elevations. The gates are closed at alamo Mtn. and at the parking lot off lockwood creek. I was told that the trails don't have a firm opening date of June 1st. The local trails are reassessed every 2 weeks to determine when they will open.
