Ok let's get a final head count and vote here. All in favor of hitting Jackman on the 4th (weather permitting) and then Superlift the 12th please chime in.
I'm in.

It's $55.00 per vehicle for the yearly membership, then each time you come back there after, you only pay $15.00. If you don't buy the $55.00 membership, then each time you visit, you pay $30.00

If you go 3 times @ $30.00 it totals $90.00
If you pay the $55.00 and visit at least two more times it totals $85.00 which I believe is the better deal as I plan on visiting several times during the summer.

just my 2 cents.

I have a winch. So its $55.00 for a year now? And why is it only 15.00 on the 12th?
Think he meant "you'll" instead of "we'll".

Yeah, d35... Pinion seal is an easy fix. My locker tore this d35 up inside. Sitting in the jeep now about to limp
It to the shop to find out what all is bad. Then I have to make up my mind as to what to do. Rebuild or buy stronger.

Bigger is always better! ;) haven't you even told that before! I have d44 in mine.

So instead of getting a locker installed on my current D35, you would suggest replacing it with a D44? Aren't those expensive?
Mines a factory d44 with factory lockers in the rear. Yes a lil more expensive if your up grading but If your going to use your jeep for what it's intended that's the way I'd go. besides we own jeeps, which stand for Just Empty Every Pocket!

Mine is D44 stock in the rear.....lockers coming at some point.

Update. On my way to shop appt. The freaking axles came out
Of the diff going down the road!!! I snapped one axle in half, and the lugs were completely off the wheel on the driver side! I couldve died. I have no explanation for all this. The shop is keeping it and getting me a new axle, bearing, wheel cylinder, and new rear brakes. What a nightmare. They wanted around 3000 to completely upgrade to a G2 Dana 44- which is b.s, I can do it cheaper. But that Detroit Locker in the rear is in my opinion the cause. It's way too rough for street use. Thought y'all would be interested
In all this mess. :(

Well guys and gals I've tried my best to be a friendly four wheeler and I might have gotten 1 person from here to come with me. I've invited 17 people all of which have told me no in some form or fashion. Unfortunately the guy comin with me doesn't own a jeep and his dodge is a pos but we'll try to make it trail worthy before the trip down there.

Bring him on! We'll pull him out!

Found me a Dana 44 Axle online...its complete and Ill I should have to do is change the gears to 4.88 to match the front and bolt-her-up. I should be ready to roll on the 4th if all goes well...either way I will have the D35 fixed:cool:
....but itll just break again. Would rather have the 44 underneath her.
