    Sounds like a great trip thumb.gif

    Mods continued this week with a new set of sliders. Real ones this time and not the bendy steps.

    OBTW, the Taco guys are staying at Area BFE.

    We saw a few rentals, at a local "yard", that had seen better days. rolleyes1.gif

    If you're buying a used JK Rubi these days, you better make darn sure it was a rental in Moab. :giggle

    I meant to ask. What is Kevin running for shocks? Are they ORI struts? I just saw some of those bad boys in a SAS conversion. Sure makes life a lot easier.

    Yep, ORI's. He has a 4BT Cummins Turbo Diesel, 14 bolt rear, D60 up front, ARB's front and rear, suck down winches front and rear, Raceline beadlockers....and all kinds of other trick little do-dads. He built it all himself over a period of 18 months.

    It was! So much fun that my husband decided after seeing the buggies that we needed to:

    1) shorten our wheelbase
    2) lose weight
    3) convert to manual

    And since it's summer...the truck is under the knife for the gagillionth time to make all those things happen. I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow of it's current state.

    Nice. Someday I'll make it out there.

    I haven't been wheeling again since I got back from Moab......I look outside, see Illinois and say what's the point?

    It seems like everyone I know is out wheeling today. I'm on call and can't venture that far away from town....such a bummer.

    I did manage to get out in the Jeep last night and take a few sunset pics.

    Today it's 64 degrees out, so I had to actually put on a sweatshirt, since I refused to put the top back on.....I mean, it's July!

    Da*n! This put's me in mind of climbing a mountain just to get to the top. Make it or not, it's gonna be expensive!
