** "SNOW" **

Had about an inch of snow at my place on Saturday. Then woke up to 5 inches this morning then it changed to rain.

Puts me in the mood for a snow run. I think I will fix the jeep and try to do a snow run sometime in january.

I didn't know your rig was down. Let us know I'm always down for a good snow run.

first on my list is to fix the YJ in the next couple weeks. then I'll be up for a snow run

Rig is down only because last time out we used the winch cable to hold the steering box on the last half of the day.
That's the way it still is so All I need to do is fix the steering box and maybe build a brace or I should say have Chris build me a brace. Then ready to go

Just have to order the new seal housing assembly for the ARB because some stupid fuck didn't leave enough clearance for the copper line from the ring gear AGAIN. Barely got it this time but enough to f me into tearing the whole carrier out again and costing me $80 in parts. That and have to throw the alloy 44 shaft back in and i'm golden.

so how much has that ARB cost you in parts?

I don't even want to hear the bullshit!! If I'd go back and do it all over again the ARB would be right back in it. Can't blame anybody or anything but myself. Sucked this time because I was VERY careful that there was enough clearance. I'd assume I bumped it a little with the diff cover, that or I'm curious if there is any play allowing it to move a little which would be gayyyyy. Maybe I should fix it, take it out of the Jeep and sell it and move onto the 60. I just don't want the down time associated with that...it's gonna take me a while to acquire the parts. What would be a reasonable price for the 8.8?
