My brother and I may have to work Saturday. I've been trying to talk to my boss for the last 3 weeks, he has been in India getting ready for the new buses to be shipped over. I'll talk to my supervisor tomorrow he wasn't in today, it was warm out. Hopefully no one took off st. patricks day. Should be good to go though, never had problems before. It's just a thought resting in the back of my head. My brother is having problems getting off work at UPS. Guess he is one of the main package belt guys down there and they don't want to let him go. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

You would be suprised, those dana35s are worthless. Asking if anyone can bring a spare shaft just in case isnt worrying, its being prepared. I need to upgrade axles before anything else really, so if I can score the dana axle set off jetboats old jeep for a decent price I may as well just jump on the oppertunity. Sure I could lift my jeep 4 inches with 33's etc, but it would still be worthless without front and rear lockers, and a locker in a D35 isnt even worth installing, therefore Id rather have 31's on locked D44's stock ride height than lifted with 33's unlocked. Trying to take things one step at a time and axles seams like a logical first big step. D44's with 4:88's and lockers, then I will start the rest.

Had a great time, moving rocks at Jetboats. My trucks speedometer quit working on the way back so no cruise control, kinda sucked. Used the Gps to track my speed and made it home without getting tickets. That was some awesome wheeling can't wait for the pics. My brother and I are still in shock of the trails we where able to run with out any stucks or damage to the truck.

Thanks to everyone that came to help. Ill try to post up pics sometime today or tomorrow. As soon as I can get some more money together I will order another load of rock and just about double the size of the course. If anyone wants to use the course without invite all I ask is that you let me know so that I can make sure the neighbors dont call the cops on you. Let me know if anyone wants to hold a comp there I am more than happy to host (and hopefully the weather will be better). And I sew'd the area down with grass seed so hopefully next time it wont be as muddy.

Thanks for being a great host Jetboat.
I had a great time wheeling too. Thanks for the ride along Greg
All I can say is WOW about Ben and where he squezed that extended cab pickup. Very capable and very well driven truck.
