Well I guess I won't make it either.  Some of my Cajun buddies from Monroe, LA are coming up, going to Disney.  I told 'em if they'd bring me some 37" Krawlers I bought from down there, I'd meet them in Disney, so I've conned 'Mr. Safety' to load up the Prevost & both of our Jeeps & we're leaving at sun up Friday morning for the weekend.  Hope you guys have a good Prez-day run.

I've installed what most would call A LOT of lift kits, how bad could you be off on the arms?  Did you not measure center to center and then adjust for appropriate lift based on stock arms?   ::)

That would be no. I ASSumed they were set right when i bought them used, But that was wrong of me.

I am planning on taking it in to the shop monday and getting everything aligned properly.

Well that sucks.  Even with new adjustable arms it's good to check them.

I'd like to thank everyone for hanging out and helping out with my breakage today.  I don't know what everyone elses is, but mine is as follows:

1 dana 44 knuckle BROKEN
2 ball joints now shot
1 stub axle junk
1 inner axle broken
1 spicer joints demolished

And Aaron needs to add that it was at the beginning of the FIRST trail.  Hail to the President!!!  (or is it HELL).  Jim dented the new Ruby and punctured the sidewall of a tire.  I think that is about it.  We all had a good time.  I have a few pics to post.  Aaron, sorry to hear about all the carnage on yours.  Is it time for a shop day?  I'd like to learn how to replace ball joints and such.

Sure Jay I'll teach you, you supply the new knuckle and other parts.... I'm debating doing it the same time I install the 4:88's I have laying here for it. 

Right now I'm having budget constraints so may take a bit before we have that day.

I hear you, are you going to set up your own gears?  Remember, I still need that done too.  Its my understanding that it takes FOREVER to do yourself.  When I can afford it, I am taking mine to someone to do.  But I have a kid due in a couple of weeks, so those gears have become diapers and such.

Aaron, sorry about the jeep. when you do finally get you parts we could do a wrench day here at my garage, but it would be a real pain to load it back on the trailer to bring it over here. I hope you still had a good B-day.

I post some pics under my gallery. When Jimmy setup a Gallery I will move them.
