There's a local guy named James Vest (256-652-3029 his email is JVfab@rocketmail.com) who did all the work (bumpers from scratch, exo-skeleton, beefed up axle) on Taylor Gilliland's JK (RokinRubi).

Truly, we hope you can make it, have not seen you in a while.
If I do make it, you won't have to be concerned about miles of dirt trail - I'll direct you guys straight to the Big Boy rocks.

Dennis-You've been to Mtn. Side, I haven't. What route are we taking? Should we pick a meet-up location on East Side of HSV?? Let's go ahead and set the meet time for 0700, with a roll time of 0710...no later.
You pick a spot where 5-7 JKs can comfortably park and we can get a quick pic of the HSV crew.
For those going, attempt to have a full tank or dang near it so we only stop once for fuel prior to Mtn. Side. Bring your standard recovery gear and lickies/chewies, plus hydrate or die...so don't forget the coolers. CB channel 22 as usual?????
And this ride is next saturday correct? I want to go so bad, but I think I'm going to be out of town :(

Tonight I pulled off and stored the soft top for the summer - Wilbur is now sporting his Mopar sunbonnet (wish Mopar had come up with a better name - sounds like some little girl's Easter hat) and Bestop duster.

You'd love this place Justin. Bama wheeled it in basically the same configuration that you're currently running.

Sounds like a plan. Can't wait to go and meet some people from the forum, and wheel a totally different part of the country. Hopefully I'll be able to get my control arm mount reinforced this week, but I don't see why I couldn't. Should only take a shop 1hour, 2 tops.
