Good Choice. They have been put back into production so you should get some fairly quickly.

Congrats Chris!!!! Great to have one of the "locals" win something this nice.

You've done extremely well this past couple of weeks with the acquisition of after-market parts.

I'm still jealous Chris....but glad it was you. I scared the sh** out of my family when I shot up to grab my cell phone to call you when I saw your name. Nearly threw the laptop on the floor to get to my phone in time.

GARY....Are you posting your pictures somewhere? I REALLY want the one you got of me "falling" off the cliff and Jayson saving me.

Am getting to them, but not high priority as you probably can suspect with all the recent mayhem over here in Bama. I'll pull it up for you - if I remember correctly, when I first viewed them Jayson looked great, but you looked a bit too "happy" to be hanging on for your life.

Edit: Here ya go . . . guess you're happy about cheating death.

Default Moab - First Day at "Behind the Rocks"

A few pics from the our first day of wheeling at Behind the Rocks.

In Bama, they'd call this something like Rev Limiter. At Moab, it doesn't even have a name.



Lots of neat rock formations around us.



Corey approaches a nasty drop-off.



Jayson gets a little spotting advice while dropping down.



Our friends Mike and Angela from SoCal.



Picture Frame Arch.



La Sal Mountains in the background.



Descending on our way to the obstacle named, "White Knuckle Hill".



Wilbur creeps down the 8ft near vertical drop off called White Knuckle Hill (It looks much worse in the pic upstream of dstack going down).

FUCK LANDERS. I paid 50 bucks for 2 lug nuts and 2 lug studs today. Only place in town that had them. FUCK THEM in the ass with a red hot fire poker. If I had a mustang running they would not have gotten my business today. That amount of mark up is insane.

But for good news. 37's TOTALLY fit on my Jeep. And these are 13" not 12.50"



Full lock, no rub

Check the bump stops, or you are going to loose your fenders the first big bump you hit

Look good, what happen to the BFG KM2?

test fitting purposes only. I'm still going to get a set of km2's. I just wanted to make sure everything was going to work out. The fenders are about to be sawzalled soon.
