30th Diamond Knot - got it! My muddy Buddy, hit me up on Sunday, I'll be around!

Re: Meet and greet in the Seattle/Eastside area? Mukilteo checking in: I'm up for whatever, whenever. Is it NWFest yet?

After my XJ rolled I took it to Safelite Glass in Everett. I think it was $225 installed. Its amazing how clear new glass is! I'm getting a quote for my 2500HD Chevy soon as its glass is pitted pretty bad.

Update October 2013: The front Aussie Locker is now on to its second axle. The Yukon shafts and other locker are up for sale. My tow vehicles power programmer is still appreciated every day. I'd like to thank ACRO for swapping out my front axle. Happy Sunday,

One of my favorite places to camp was in the area between Liberty and Blewett Pass, though I havn't been since 2011 and don't know if the fires of last year razed the area or not. it's also "Day Tripable" if you want to scout the area out beforehand. Other than that, Naches is both scenic...

Thanks for sharing Ben! This is inspiration for me to get my heep fixed up.

4 years later: The Aussie Locker is still working flawlessly, and rarely makes its presence known on pavement. I'd gladly buy another. The Bulldog Triple Power Programmer I got the deal on has outlasted my relationship with Nancy - BONUS! LOL And, I'm still doing business with Jon and ACRO...

Wow, its been a while I guess, eh? I had my surgery and am on the mend, with one "therapeutic wheeling" trip under my belt. As soon as I get a new D30 under the front, I'll be camping and wheeling. I return to work this week and hope to have the funds for the new axle soon. Yee freaking...

Nice rig! I really like those deep dish wheels. I've built my jeep very similar as a "back country touring" rig and am totally pleased with it, as I hope you are/will be with your new ride. Congrats. :)

Nah, I'm still here, fresh out of surgery myself. I've got some surgical hardware from 2001 in a baggie. I think I'm making a necklace out of it. :-)

I just looked at your X-ray up close... Might want to pull those down, remove your personal info from the corner and resubmit. Eric

Great job kicking the tobacco habit! Good Gawd, that is some pretty hardware ya got there! Are you going to need a permit to get that through the airport security scanner? Eric

Dang man, you know how to crash right! I slapped the sand at 55+mph back in 2001, screwed myself up good, but nowhere near your wreck. Keep a smile on your face, it does get better. Eric

We have contingency plans to attend if I'm either not too sore, or, if the post-surgery pain meds are good enough. The woman already knows she's on the hook for driving duties, and, this will be her first time out. (If we make it) Enjoy the weekend! We are going exploring on Sunday from...

I was aiming to be at NWFest this year, scheduled the time off, the woman did the same... then I go and jack up my arm, and with surgery scheduled on June 5th, I Wont be making it this year, unless miracles happen. This weekend and next are my fun times until probably fall. Eric
