Wheel spacers came in today! Wooo! Any takers on hosting a wrench party this Saturday? Seeing my lift in a box is killing me!

Ugh is right. It is one heavy bumper too. I need to pull my LOD to give my lights a 1/4 turn. I wasn't paying attention when I put them in. It will have to warm up before I get it done.

My garage won't work, as it is piled full of parts and an immobile Heep .......... and my driveway won't work either.

I say we do the install party in the parking lot @ Hooter's. The curves in the parking lot there won't be a hindrance to the install(except that no one will be actually working on the Jeep), and it would make for a very interesting write-up on here.

But seriously: Let me know if you can wrangle up a place this weekend to do the install. If I am at a stopping point with the Heep, I will gladly supervise.

we can just plan on my place saturday for the install. Like I said, its pretty straight forward and it takes just about no time to install.

Also, one of the gate guards asked me how I like my Jeep just a minute ago. He said he was going to pick up a yellow 4 door rubi tonight. I of course told him to do it, as well as check out the forum. So we may see a new face in our huntsville thread very soon.

Robin, you know you want to call me up for a few

But yes, I survived the holidays just well, and the bike is not torn up too badly. I rode all day sunday at the ridge, and had a blast. Only broken parts were some plastic and a fork seal. The fork seal was on its way out, but jumping the bike didn't really help its situation either.

I have not heard of barton brand shifters. So I cannot say either way if they are good or bad. Most of my shifters are homemade, and thats good enough for me. I'll look into them and let you know what I hear.

i think she was talking about a new mustang. I just did a bunch of reading on the mustangs and a lot of people like the Barton shifter over the Steeda, which are the only 2 on the market right now. Went and looked at the construction of both, and both seem to be solid. I think you could go either way on them.

And Randy, I want a pro5.0 so bad I can scream. I just haven't come across a smoking deal on one yet. I buy all my mustang parts for next to nothing.
