Rain to the north, rain to the south, rain to the east and west, but not a drop for me.

It looks like all the rain is going around me. Every day the news shows rain, rain and more rain, but The Dalles hasn't gotten more than a 5 min drizzle in the last two weeks. Not even enough to kill the dust.

The wife & I really want to go play in some puddles, we'll just have to wait.

The news has shown rain for us for most of the last week, but we have yet to get any. Got plenty of wind though!

Maybe one of these days the news people might get it right though.
:roll:

What was wrong with your lift? Ball-joints or CV boots? Those seem to be the most common problems with lifting KJ's.


Just dropped the Liberty off at the dealer today for recall, lets see if they rune the CV boots when they do the ball-joints. :roll:

I think you'll love it in the winter. My wife gets around just fine in 2wd most of the time, even times that I have to put my XJ in 4wd. Though I would say that the BFG AT's give her the biggest advantage in the winter.

The backspacing is stock....remember from another topic I was saying I needed to get extended studs so I can use the wheel spacers safely? Well, I still havent done it yet.. :wink: the stance does look a bit narrow and tall, but what can a girl do? One thing at at time and right now I am getting my wiring done so I can pull my quads to the dunes!!

We have an old farm expression about a cow doing something on a flat rock to describe a heavy rain out here in Eastern Washington and I would lately say it applies. We are not at the flood stage though.
