    Default Long time no post

    Hey people it's been a while. The heep has been through he'll and back plus been idle. I have blown the 8.25 I had built for it out with less than 2000 miles. The pinion was deep purple. Blew the tchaikovsky on the same run. The was Sept of last year. I fixed the tcase and drove it to Uwharrie with the rear screaming.
    Bout rolled with no door on the there the day after Thanksgiving. News years rolls around still screaming and clunking I take it to show Creek for our annual club ride. Bam get hit in the rear and tore the quaternary up after I put it in the ditch to keep from hitting a jk. Kicker is my own jeep hit me. My brother in law was driving a 98 xj I had bought. I lose all brakes on the way home. Fast forward to July finally get my 8.8 ready to go. Made I think to va4wda trail ride after complete steering charge. And I blow the limited slip out of the rear end. Also cracked the frame by the steering box. So how are you guys.

    I forgot to mention I done all the above while working out of town 6 or 7 days a week since Oct 13 of last year. I have to have the steering fixed by Oct 18 for a ride at Potts mountain

    Yes I'll have to upload a few pics. I forgot to mention I lost the driver rear tire last September pulling into a parking spot. Then in June I was working on the steering and lost the driver front less than a half mile into driving it. It took the out the brakes again and radiator.

    Almost forgot last thanksgiving at Uwharrie I popped my rear window out when my spare smacked it.
