Well as you heard by now, Mickey's is out and awaiting for a major surgery. As Andre said today, it looks that my Jeep works better on wood than on fuel, wait to see some pictures or go at APJ to see what I mean, anyhow my YJ goes 10 Kms on a 3"x5"x8' piece of wood.
I would to thank everyone that help me on Sunday, Marc taking Darlene and Kia out of the trail ( the heat was really appreciated Darlene said). Alex that took us to Sackville. Alex did you made on time for your work?. Goates that lended me some recovery equipment. And Craig that offer to come to fix the Jeep on the trail, Craig the weather was miserable on Monday, it will be better for you to work in the shop. And last but not the least Christ and his Rubicon that actually did the recovery all the way to the pavement. OH! ya Jason (sexrac) came to assist in the recovery. The flat bed cost $210.00.
I got home at midnight on Sunday night and Monday night at 10pm. Two long WET day and now I have a cold and sore throat. But now Here come the best Darlene told me to upgrade my axle and she is paying for too. She want to ensure that she does not get stuck (broken down in a trail again).
Just like any good man does I always listen to my sweet wife, SO HERE COMES MY CHROMOLY AXLES
Thanks to every one and sorry if I forgot anyone.
Mickey

No problem Mickey and Darlene. I had the heat on anyway to thaw out my frozen bare feet. Hopefully there wasn't any noticeable foot odour . I had to turn it off a couple of times as I was too hot for her, if I recall. Glad to hear all is well and the Jeep is on the mend with HD upgrades.

Glad to hear that your rig is out of the woods and safe Mickey, and you get an upgrade out of it? I wonder if I could rationalize a 3" lift on a brand new Rubi to my girlfriend? I must have knocked my head on the roof going over one of the "uppy-downy" bits if I think I'll get away with that! No problem about the drive, and I did make it into work on time, with 5 minutes to spare! I can assure you it was one loooong night. By the way Mickey I still have your tow strap in my rig. Let me know when you need it by and I can drop it off for you.

3" would have you running 35s. Pretty big stuff. Thats what I LOVE about the new Rubi. I think we are gonna get one next year in the 4 door, put in a 1" BL, slap on a Warn PowerTank, a couple of JustaBumpers, some 33s and be done with it.

A little Jeep philosophical question...are you ever really done modifying a Jeep?
