I always keep some MREs in the Jeep and in my man bag. The heater packets are water activated and the meals aren't bad at all. Always good to have in an emergency.

I always have MRE's on hand as well.

4.88 revolution gears are coming very soon. Gotta go pull out the axles and grab some bushings for the leafs and upper CAs. Also gonna add another leaf to my pack.. my shit sags bad with a load.

Also the tire carrier didn't hold to well... So going to make an actual one out of some round tube some 1/4" flat plate and reuse some things from the old carrier.. lots

Still need to add paint to the inside of the cage where I cleaned it off to weld

last weekend or next weekend i'd be down to drink your beer and donate some labor, but I just finished packing the camper with beer for this weekends Ultra4 Stampede..

 

[831_xj]

Bummer. I would have liked to have had them out last weekend. But it's been over a week and RWKhaus still hasn't shipped my gears. He claimed tues they would be in and shipped. But I've gotten no response as of today...

If you get tired of waiting I can call my guy.

 

[831_xj]

Okay if I don't hear from him tomorrow I will be in contact. I dont have the patience or time to wait on Robert.. Shame. He's always had high praise and was quick with my last set.

Robert's solid, but he drop ships. Buying Yukon isn't buying revolution.

Im swamped working on like 4 or 6 cars this weekend so there is no way in hell ill be leaving the garage. I have been wrenching every night after work on one rig or the other until late. probably be doing another set of 15 hour wrenching days sat and sun.

 

[831_xj]

**** I've been a bit lazy. Gears in today. Pulling axles I hope tomorrow. Swap in the new shackles. Add another leaf. New bushings for control arms. At least the uppers and leafs. Figure out what's clunking on the front. Think I blew out a Fox shock.

 

[831_xj]

I know it's a holiday but if anybody is around this morning and can lend a hand and also maybe an extra pair of jacks then that'd be awesome

 

[GordoSmasho]

Wish i was closer bud. I have four sets.

 

[831_xj]

Thanks Gordon got them out relatively pain free. Seal came and helped.

 

[831_xj]

I will really need a hand getting them back in. If anybody is available next weekend to do so. You can bring your junk over as well and we can have a pre reno party... I'll supply beverages and food.

If all else fails I can have my old man help but he's 63 so wrenching days are sorta over.
