Welcome back Zeke. I hate leaving the lake. Real life is a rude awakening compared to lake life.

Garrison... all you gotta do is start mowing with a t-shirt and socks again and you'll be back in business in no time.

My all day clay bar/wax job is getting pissed on right now. Never fails.

This poor jeep of mine has 200k on it now. You guys like a GMC Arcadia or just get a new Jeep. I'm leaning towards a new jeep but I've got all these GM credit card points which is worth 3k on the Arcadia. I should get the Arcadia but I really like Jeep. Both are about the same price ... Any thoughts, I don't mod the family truckster lol .

I was thinking on Sunday that I'm getting pretty damn good at this rain summoning stuff. It even started raining WHILE i was cleaning the car. I'll take it. Detail spray and wax is cheaper than running my sprinkler system. My water bill is going to kick ass this month!

I like the Jeep better, but the Arcadia is a nice looking SUV too. That is a tough choice with the points factored into the equation...

Yup the points are killing me ... No points it's a no brainer to get another jeep ... This one has been a warrior ... 200k with no real issues at all.

Sweet! Car parts! Maybe you can get a few more hot days in before the end of the summer to test that baby out. All I've got coming this week are some connectors for our little HPT experiment. Zeke needs to get his UEGO so we can get moving!

I need your guy's opinion. I'm debating back and forth between a 9".

Drive train right now includes stock clutch, JRE Posi Mod, 391 gears, LPW cover and 1k DSS axles.
Trying to decide how well that will all last with where I'm at. I know as a every weekend drag car it wouldn't last but it doesn't get out very often.....that's where I'm having a hard time deciding.

Well. That's a tough one.

If you do it now, you can probably sell your old pumpkin and recoup some cost. If you wait till it breaks, you pay the full amount... but it might not break! I'd probably be interested in buying your old diff if you decide to swap pumpkins.

edit

Haha... I just went looking to see about how much a used diff should cost and saw the GForce 9" up for sale. I was gonna tell you about it, but now I see that's actually the source of your waffling! Good luck deciding!

Exactly...and my car is already in Wichita. Lol. Makes it even more difficult to decide.
