You're telling me we don't get free Grand Slams every morning? I don't even know if I want to go anymore.

**Virmagicus** · 03-02-2010, 07:55 PM

Tell you what. You pay for my gas to get down there and i'll buy Dennys both days.

**Jones** · 03-03-2010, 01:59 PM

Yukon 4.56's with master installs should be here early next week. Thanks for the hook up Josh aka go4x4it.

**Jones** · 03-03-2010, 06:34 PM

...and sold my front Waggy earlier today for $400. It was the quickest sale I've ever done, posted it on my local forum and it was gone a few hours later. Maybe I should have asked for more money lol.

WyoZJ · 03-03-2010, 06:43 PM

how much did you pay for the truss, cover etc? I bet you could have sold it for more

**Jones** · 03-03-2010, 06:46 PM

I don't remember exactly but the truss was around $400 and the front axle was like $175. I just wanted it to sell fast.

I've had this question come up a few times today so I'll answer it here instead of where it was posted, don't want to derail someone's thread.

The short answer is no, I won't be at GSW this year.

I'm joining the Army Active Duty (that means I'll be living on a base). The plan is to sell my Jeep at the end of next month before I ship out to Basic. I still owe money on it and the loan is co-signed by my Grandma so I'm just going to sell it and pay off the loan. Instead of going to GSW this year my family and I are going on one last vacation together before I move out of the house. I think we're going to Disneyland.

Right now I'm just selling all the extra parts I have sitting in the garage like the Claytons I just sold to JFox21.

That being said I'm obviously going to be away from the forum for at least 9 weeks (try not to sound to excited) while I'm at Basic. After that my access will be limited for 15 weeks during AIT. I'll need someone to take over GCOTM for me while I'm gone, let me know if you're interested.

After Basic and AIT I'm hoping to pick up a tan LJ like this one while I'm living on base.

**CostcoPizza** · 04-14-2010, 03:40 AM

Nice! I love LJ's.

I joined the Navy this week, going to try out for special ops after basic.

**Bama_WJ** · 04-14-2010, 09:56 AM

Rubi LJs are so awesome.

Good luck with the Army.

PaLftr · 04-14-2010, 10:12 AM

Couple questions

What made you decide to choice the Army?

Secondly, Jeep related, what did you use to chop your front fenders? They look excellent.

-cAcHe- · 04-14-2010, 10:18 AM

Yea i saw all your stuff in the 4 Sale section i was like :O... what is going on here. hahaha

SnowLeopard · 04-14-2010, 10:29 AM

You like the shock value, I'll give that to you. It's probably a good move, the military. You seem like the kind of guy that can handle it. The best of luck with everything. You will be missed though, even if you think we're all grins to see you gone. LOL Keep in touch as best you can.

Why did I choose the army over all the other branches of the military? Or just why am I joining? I guess I'll answer both... I'm joining for a few reasons. First, I want to be a Police Officer and this will look great on my resume when I go to apply for a job. I was going to skip the military and start applying in July (when I'm 20 and 6 months) but no one is hiring around here because of the ecomony so this looks like my best option for now.
The job I'm currently at is incrediably boring. I'm basically a flippin janitor even though that's not my job description. I've been working here for nearly 4 years and I'm sick of it!
I'm also living at my parents house right now but I want to move out. Which is why I chose to go Active Duty instead of Reserve so I can live on a base for awhile.

I chose the Army over every other branch because I have a few friends that have joined and are loving it. Other than that I'm not really sure, it just appeals to me the most I guess. This wasn't a sudden decision either, I've been debating it since I graduated from High School. I was just waiting to see what my chances of getting hired were before I made the decision.

The fenders were pretty simple. Measured an inch from the top of the flat part of the fender and made a mark with a sharpie every few inches all the way around the fender. Then took some of that really thin masking tape and "connected the dots" that were made to make a solid line all the way around the fender. Then took a cut off wheel and slowly followed the bottom edge of the line until it was done.
