had a crawler box disaster this evening. almost took a toaster to the bathtub until my buddy J pulled out some magic JB weld and set the thing straight. There was a tiny hole in the case that I must have missed durring assembly. But everything is now ok and I still plan on showing up thursday night. Might have to have someone weld some sliders on at Crawfords shop. any volunteer's? I'll give you beer.Not looking good for them tomorrow.
I think Andy (bamachem) is bringing his welder and I'm sure there will be plenty of capable hands there.

I may be a no show this year. Or at least I might be without the 4Runner. I’ve been having problems getting a T-Case mount for my 5 speed; the parts department at Toyota in Buford said they should have me one Thursday morning. That means I’ll have just a few hours to test the truck for any bugs before we leave for a 3 hour trip. Oh what fun!

Well my bogger is taken care of thanks to Andy & JeepGuyXJ. THANKS!!! I think Zman2day is going to grab the wheel I need from Atlanta to mount it on. I got my shocks mounted tonight, but couldn't do the soft top due to some snaps missing, but I think I'll have time. I'll be coming up late Thursday night after work.

Hey guys, I'm bringing up a 3rd gen rear bumper that I just finished up building( started it last year) if anyone is looking for one. Getting ready to move back to the beach in about 6 weeks and need to sell it. The bumper is finished, but depending on the rig, the mounts will either have to be finished up or new mounts fabricated. I dont have the time to customize it for any particulay rig right now. If you want to know how tuff these bumpers are, just ask Seaflea or take a look at my rig this weekend. It save my rig after being rearend at a stop light from a volvo doing about 40mph (I drove mine away). here are a few pics of the 3rd gen bumper i'm selling.

I PM'd Mark after he found the wheel & asked if I needed help, but haven't heard back from him yet. I know everybody is real busy getting ready so I don't know if he's checked his mailbox. I'm pertty sure the guy said the wheel was at a shop in western Atlanta.
EDIT: The craigslist add says Douglasville GA.

All,
We'll be arriving Thursday evening between 6 and 9, depending on when we depart and traffic, etc.. We're staying in one of the bunky cabins across from the rock garden. I tried to attach a pic of my 'Runner- let's see if it works. 'We' would be myself and Victor- another yota head...
Will
And those are not the wheels / tires I'll be running
