Tires are still at the shop, i got the cragars dismounted to be repainted because they were rusting so now the original renny wheels are on until the lift party. The wheels should be out of paint by Tuesday and should have the tires mounted that day or the next. I believe the my dads company's tire guy said the km2's were on back order so he got the original mud terrain which i am fine with. I just cant wait! I think its funny me and you are still on at 1 am and all the rest of the Illinois club is sleeping ha. :lol:

Why wouldn't I?


I can only reply on my own behalf - Needless to say, I thought it was funny someone would ask if you're going to allow Aaron to do that?

Didn't realize I needed them still. :shock:

I've only been trying to talk you into the rally since I discovered it. :D

I figure Grumpy should pass inspection after the AWD / panic brake pull to the left is fixed and the interior is cleaned/swapped.

Stupid thing starts right up every morning and gets me back and forth to work, so I feel the engine/trans are good enough.

Wasn't trying to start anything,... :wink: Okay, maybe I was... :lol:

After reading the BA/BE website and Aaron's twitter blog, it sounds like it would be great fun!!!!!

Go for it Aaron!!!! Jayme, I guess if Grumpy has to meet your inspection then you better break out the wrenches and get to work on him, huh??? :wink: :lol:

I'm not gonna have my intake in time and working a deal on the fuel tank skid as we speak, but that more than likely won't be here in time either.

I have a fence to paint if the weather is nice, so I might not be making this after all, but just in case.......

You weren't starting anything. :lol:

Colin - don't you know by now that the KJ is a never-ending project? I'll always have stuff to work on with my jeep... Grumpy is the least of my worries. :wink:


That is what I am saying,... if Eugene is a never ending project and you have 12 months to get Grumpy to pass "inspection", I think you probably need to give Aaron a hand now starting to get Grumpy ready...!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, so I'm a slacker... :roll: :P It's there now.




The new bumper is a LOT heavier than your stock bumper, and I don't think the daystar would hold it up too long without you having issues. :?


no doubt ill just save up to have both at same time :)

Last weather forecast I've seen (Channel 2) calls for partly sunny and 81. *fingers crossed*

We should have an extra set of ramps with us for Saturday, too.
