    So dogs are not a problem unless you don’t trust them next to overhanging cliffs .

    Just the trails in the parks aren't doggie friendly.

    Thanks, just remember Eric saying something about it. Hate for her to get down there and have to leave her co-pilot in the room
    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    MAN...has anyone else noticed how fast time is going by the closer we get to "zero hour"???

    I've still got a bunch of wrenchywrench type projects to get done & I'm starting to get a bit ummmm, queasy.

    I'm guessing that I've got about a 50-50 shot at getting the locker installed...the open carrier should show up this week & I have yet to order a set of bearings, shim set, crush collar(?)...guess the crush collar wouldn't be necessary, unless the pinion needs to be shimmed.

    Anyone with any further gear related ideas or parts I've overlooked, please post em' up.
    I'm gonna be calling Mr. Merlin next week.

    Thanks Billy, but I hate to bother Matt with stuff like this, I know he's a busy guy & his business is expanding all the time.

    I've got a few emails off to a few wheelin' buds that have tinkered with gears & installed lockers before, have picked Zeus's brain a bit, talked to Strawmeyers on the phone, & have one or two local mechs who ARE experienced, in mind for the set up. I'm tryng to find one that'll let me help, so I can learn how to do it right.
    I have the factory instruction manual that details gear set up, but don't have any experience in tearing into the third member & diddling with all the thingies & dingles contained within...also don't have a dial gauge or hydraulic press.
    I'm pretty sure I could install the locker itself, but gear setup is crucial to get right the first time...& I don't wanna be the one to screw it up.
