That particular "error" has been in the instructions for literally years. It gets fixed and the instructions get updated then some IT guy pulls an old copy from an outdated file and the cycle starts all over again. It became a bad joke while working there.

ruff stuff specialties stiffners ordered. Should be here soon. New RE extended braided brake line ordered as well. Lets hope they show before the weekend. Going to try and get it ready for Goat Fest in Jhonson Valley. Still no armor so claw hammer is out. Should be able to at least run the tourist trail.

Apparently we're neighbors... Let me know if you need a hand installing your new gear, I'd be happy to help.

Not this year. I had some health issues that kept me from the Death Valley run last weekend. Feeling better now. The family and I are going to Ocotillo for Thanksgiving instead of Goatfest.

What's your screen name on NAXJA? Would you be willing/able to train some fender flares out there for another member? http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1116403

I havent been on Naxja in a while. Too much drama on that site. I can pick up some flares, I should be hanging out near Cal and Carol.

Subscribed, and very cool. I'm rebuilding late-model XJ 2-doors with both of my daughters, too.

Wow, what a weekend. I didnt get the brake lines on or the armor so i didnt get my rocker pannels near the rocks but, I will say that damn, for an in expensive kit i was hammering it down boons road and the ride was smooth but in control. It took foot + deep woops like it was cruising the mall. That being said i was fortunate to meet up with my old friend Cal and ride in his race prepped XJ, so let me see, risk my daily driver or ride in a race buggy? Well you can see what i picked. 
Plus i got a crazy ride in the prototype JK with coil overs from rubicon. 
I know its a bit off the topic of the thread but it was a hoot.

sorry guys, got a little side tracked. Put on some new wheels and tires this weekend. Used my air soft pellet trick to balance them. I will post more about that and pics real soon.

I use dyna beads in the rear of my motorcycle (it's a michelin run flat car tire) and they work great. Only 3 ounces in a 195/55R16 tire. I might try to use airsoft pellets next time, as it has to be cheaper.
