No Yeungling west of the MS I think. I'll hook him up with some though.
 
Don't wait to get beer in Moab. They have real beer at the liquor store but it is hot.

The beer at the grocery and gas station is 3.2.

If you want your brand, haul it out.

Jeff I wish I could help, I am single dad all week and I just can't get away. Sorry.

After my weekend I might need 3.2!

Had to tell her twice.

Would be great if the bodean 's 40 was yellow... Perfect for blonde name. She can be an old gray haired blonde, but just as pretty...but slower.
 
Glad to hear the guide bolt trick was of some use. I told ya... Forget thr transmission jack. Just let your stickshift dangle (from a hoist I mean). ;)
 
Tranny/Orion in after a little parts swap from the old to new cases. The Hi/low shaft was different on the Orion and the linkage wouldn't work. We just popped off the top plate and swapped the old shaft in. Problem solved (thanks Georg). Jrob was in full fab mode when Georg called with the solution! Got the drive shafts in and the tranny cover in. Gotta button everything up tomorrow and it will be ready for a test drive. Thanks to Georg and Daryl for all of the tech help. I owe yall! Can't wait to drive it!!!

Glad you told them....I told them about it back on page 2 but it's got to come from you before it is valid :lol:
 
Hush Nolen! If you has been there for the install maybe we would have tried that sooner. :doh:
 
Yeah, I have actually seen him with his hands dirty!

Who remembers page two? That was like 6 months ago or something. Besides, where do you think I got it?

BTW - I have seen Nolen with his hands dirty. The locker he installed in half Ass is still working while the one I installed only made it through one night run at GSMTR before it started to crap out. Thanks Mr. G.
 
200 post and we haven't even driven it yet! Nice!!!

One observation I made while this whole swap was taking place is that Jrob can get dirtier than any one human being on the planet! We went up the other night while I was waiting on some gaskets to get here from Toyota just to measure a spacer and Jrob had grease all over him by the time we were through. Good Stuff! Thanks for all the help Jrob and Lenny. Just an FYI: If you ever need a chain hoist chain puller Chris Tolleson is your man for that job. Thanks Chris.
