Re: Motivation
We're both motivated! Last year we worked on adding 4" lift kits to our pair of Jeeps and replacing the Dana 35 rears with Dana 44's and replacing stock 310 gears with 373's- upgraded to 33's as well on the tires. This year is strengthening them and learning on how to tow them on a trailer LOL. Marking the calendar down to Rausch Creek!

Re: Motivation
guess I'm in the minority here, with Kurt and Chris. I'm motivated! Haven't done nearly as much as some people (OMG Chris!!!) but I've been trying to keep on top of my maintenance. Working out some squeaks and rattles this weekend. I hope. Hopefully just my Currie CA's making noise. But if it's under my heep and it has a grease fitting, it's getting lubed!

Re: Motivation
Jeep needs front R&P... I should get motivated to replace them. I might get motivated enough to use a pair of stub shafts to hold together the unit bearings & drive it in 2wd with the top down until I get the R&P replaced.
