Just leave me the keys to your Bronco, Zach has volunteered to drive it for you! BTW, he is a pretty good driver! Have a safe trip...

Where you planning to camp Dave? In the forest service CG or along the road someplace? I'm thinking I could use a break and am trying to make this work. If it does, it'll be the maiden voyage of the new buggy!

I will leave the keys, you will need to pull the transfer case before it will roll for you. I cracked the whole case sunday. Need to pull it and make sure the tera lows are ok and salvage the AA output shaft.

Hopefully we will ba able to camp in the first campground near the creek. I don't feel like towing my Bronco on the "nice" road. Will know more after our Ridge Runners meeting tonight. Be glad to have you along Joe!

Dave first of all thanks. I have two donors in my shop and not sure what I will do. I know one gear is shot and possibly two. I will assess and make a decision on how I will spend dollars. I don't want to give up the TL gears but just may. if I do it may be an Atlas. Any suggestion on the Atlas and best place to send my dollars to.

Look into a Stak box. They fit the Bronco's better due to the narrow frames. Also, plenty of options for gears in them. I don't know who sells them off hand, but a search should get you the info.

Or as another option if you wanna keep the d20 and get low gears is look at the northwest Fab black box I.

We will be camping down the road approx 6 miles from the entrance. If you pass the next campground, then you went too far. Usually camping on the left side of the road. I won't get up there until after 8:30 at the earliest. My friends drive black YJ's, one is built up very well.
