Nothing that requires a shorter driveshaft (yet). Although I may need some help getting that part home when it's ready. 😀
There's one more part I need that won't be in until Friday to finish what I'm working on now.
Hmm, maybe I should wait until the meeting to tell... 😈
Okay, here's where I'm at so far. I only have 1 of the 6 items done.
1. 1" Body Mount Lift - installed. (finally fixed an old problem where I had to cut one of the bolts. Drilled it out this time and was able to get a new nut on top. what a PITA that was!)
2. 1" Motor Mount Lift - they came bare metal so putting a coat of paint on them. I have one old motor mount loosened and ready to come out.
3. Tranny mount and torque arm bushings for #4 - still need to pick one of them up on Friday.
4. Teraflex Belly-Up, Oil Pan, and Transmission skids - to be installed. I'm hoping I won't need to re-clock my Stak. I'm going to need to fab the transmission skid a little since it's made for a TJ because the YJ has the stupid crossover pipe under the tranny. (wish I knew the TJ rerouted that when I bought my headers 👿 )(old and dented Skid Row skid plate removed.)
5. Genright gas tank skid - picking up Friday.
6. MORE rear shock relocation brackets (to be used with the "other" part that is still on order).
All of my stock skid plates (or what's left of them) will finally be gone!
I'm in no hurry and will be taking my time to make sure everything goes in well.

I know someone with a beater pick-up that you could make a deal with to get that "other part" home. Might need some x-tra big fellers to get it out and up the driveway safely.

I have a truck and a big tire to strap the "other part" to. A 37" tire is perfect for transporting a Rock Jock 60.....I know from experience.

We had a great turn out with 13 rigs showing up. Started up the trail at 11:00 on a beautiful sunshine day. A lot of low snow kept us from reaching our usual spot so
we stopped a bit short at a nice place on the left side. Room for the kids to sled and play off the road. Brad and Joe went up the road with Brad trying out his new
38's to break trail and they went just to the top of the hill and over then back they came. Felt like 60 degrees and it was time to start shedding the layers of clothes!
A lot of snowball throwing, sledding and even a Elephant Snowman! Counting around 20 vehicles plus 3 snowmobiles - not much traffic. Saw more on the way out including a
stuck Dodge pickup which I believe Jeff broke his strap trying to get the guy truck out bummer! Richard brought a banana cream pie to share with everyone which was very
yummie thanks Richard! Only had a few minimal of recoveries most of them Joe falling on his back side 
Everyone seemed to have a great time!! 😀

sounds like theres a lot of snow, sorry i missed it. last trip i saw joe fall as well. you would think being that close to the ground he would have better balance!
i bought a geo metro before you cant find one with these gas prices going up. i spent the weekend trying to get it running without stalling. no success yet. i should have went wheeling

Am missing a few parts in the knee's and ankle, on snow it is safer and less painful to not fight it.
