Yes it is!
Took a while, but here we are! Lol
GTD weekend? we are planning on heading down there. What are you guys planning up?
Me too!
Thanks!
Wooo!!!! Now you have to come to Barnwell to test it all out
That was my thinking! Still trying to work it out...but if for some reason it doesn't, we will need to plan something very very soon after.
You and me both!

I already had PSC so they're just moving it over. Replacing rear ds for a je reel 1350. I already have a front je reel 1350, but that needs to be resized after axles are in. I just went with the upgraded brakes that come with he prorocks. They're not progrips, but they have to be better than what I have now. And yep, 8 lugs!

F350 front and J8 rear disc brakes, I would say you should be good.

Sounds good. FYI the brakes on the PR60s are better than Progrips (though there is an upgraded even bigger option available for the PR60s). Post some pics of the install process. Looking forward to seeing it at GTD/GTW.

we (well, I) am planning on being there. If not for anything else, to pick up some brand new fenders from a friend who lives out on Beaumont. I'll probably head out that way sometime early afternoon or so... and depending if the wife comes or not, I'll stay around until sunset (if solo) or when the music stops (if the wife comes)... it just depends. I'll more than likely be near all the crazies at the washout though... they are the only large group of jeepers that I have had the pleasure of wheeling with. Everyone else just seems to host SNGs and NEVER wheel. :crazyeyes:
NICE! I look forward to finally meeting you in person Adam! :thumb:

Well let me know. Me and my wife and a couple friends are driving down there early Saturday. Chill on the beach some...trying to meet up with Adam at his rental for a little bit. And probably heading back before it gets dark. You will not find is dancing on the beach after it gets dark though...just not what we do lol

Most likely I will just come down for the afternoon and leave at dark.

Nice. Tom, send me a text when you're heading down that way. I think Patrick and his wife are coming down for the day as well.

Exciting stuff man, those axles are bad ass. I'm looking forward to seeing it finished! Though I'm sure not as much as you are!!

Likewise!!
Come on by with Mike. All welcome. I have 3 Jeep buddies coming/staying too. We're more the relax/family type (during the day anyway). I'm sure we will take a trek/cruise down the beach into the craziness at some point too. Mike knows how to get a hold of me or PM for my cell.
