I'm sorry that I live in a country area where you only provide dial up service, and I'm sorry that living out in the boonies causes issues with phone lines. Since I live out here by choice and you feel that providing decent phone service out here is an inconvenience for your company, as well as costly, I feel that I should state that this is the United States of America, not a third world country. If it was a third world country I might actually get a reduced rate for the crappy service that you offer out here. I'm only 10 miles between 2 small towns, and both them have better service than I do. For the last couple of days your service has been dropping the line constantly and I even got a baud speed of 9.6. WTF is that about? I can't connect properly and even had your service say that the phone number in question was disconnected. How the hell can a number that has been in service for well over a decade be out of service one minute and working the next? Do you want to get rid of the the dial up service? Are those of us that live in the boonies that much trouble to service? We even have fiber optics less than 200 yards from my residence, but you won't extend them across highway 22 for those of us that live west of it, even though the ones near IH 35 can get it? I know this is just raving and ranting at unseen entity and will have no effect but I needed to post this on a public forum in hopes that you might see this and correct it so all those that live in non-remote locations can get decent service.Thank you,Charlie FriersonReside nt of Hill County Texas.

With the digital age, they've finally created a camera with a shutter fast enough to take a picture of a woman with her mouth shut.
Why don't pirates go to strip clubs? They already have all the booty!
Why does it take pirates so long to learn the alphabet? Because they can spend years at C!
What's a horny pirate's worst nightmare? A sunken chest with no booty!
What did the pirate say when his wooden leg got stuck in the freezer? Shiver me timbers!
What do pirates and pimps have in common? They both say "YO HO!" and walk with a limp!

Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain and his crew were in danger of being boarded by a pirate ship. As the crew became frantic, the captain bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!". The First Mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, which the captain put on and lead the crew to battle the pirate boarding party. Although some casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were repelled.
Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending boarding parties. The crew cowered in fear, but the captain calm as ever bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!". The battle was on, and once again the Captain and his crew repelled both boarding parties, although this time more casualties occurred.
Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's occurrences when an ensign looked to the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?". The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, exhorted, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the wound and thus, you men will continue to fight unafraid". The men sat in silence marveling at the courage of such a man.
As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became silent and looked to their Captain for his usual command. The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my brown pants!!

One of my neighbors just went through this. Since it was Saturday and they don't do hearts, they refused to transfer him until Monday.  After the whole family raised hell they finally shipped him to Waco and got things fixed. Glad both of you are still hanging in and if you don't want to ship the etouffee to Steve I'd be glad to have it sent this way.  I'm closer and it would give Steve a reason to leave the ranch for a change.

You can use the blazer brakes with the rear discs and should have no issues. Here's a pic of all the parts you'll need. The bracket that bolts on the the F body shock mount will need to be cut apart so you have the brake line bracket that welds to the axle and the parking brake cable mount. You can use the stock location shock mount of the G body axle but I didn't like how close the shock was to the caliper so I made a relocation bracket to move it out a little. It's made out of 1/4" thick angle iron and is welded on. It actually moved the shock to a better spot. You can also buy a bracket that bolts on and does the same thing fairly cheaply. The only other welding you'll need to do is on the parking brake lever so the factory cable will attach. You end up cutting the original drum brake bracket and the disc bracket to make the new one. I've been putting off doing this on an axle I've got here and I may just get around to it this week since things are nice and quiet.

I'm sure they work great but I read somewhere that the stock GN wheels won't fit over them. Backs, yes. Fronts, no. You need to get all the parts off the F body (lines, hoses, brackets, ect) to do the LS F body conversion. You will also need either someone to do some minor welding or weld yourself since the bracket for the parking brake cable and the hose to caliper bracket will need to be located and secured. None of this is hard and it's not that labor intensive, but you do need a good drill bit and something that will cut the original bracket off the axle when you do it.

I'd love to have one of those out here Steve. The gator is a bit small and doesn't have the towing capacity that it really needs to have.

Not the best pic but this should give you some idea of what they look like Jason.

I do have 1 thing you might want Jason. How about a set of factory wagon wheels that are 8" wide?

Kaiser bought the Buick V6 and used it in jeeps for several years in the CJ and jeepster before GM bought it back in the early 70's because of the gas crisis. Buick also stupidly sold the 215 aluminum V8 to land rover and it was used in land rovers until sometime around 2000.

I've got a 9" and the stock 8.5" here. I can pick up the 8' easily but the 9" is a struggle for me. That's empty, so they weigh a bunch more than stock. Cancel it and order a 12 bolt. You'll be much happier in the end.

How to Sell (fishing gear)
A young fellow from Oklahoma moves to California and goes to a big 'everything under one roof' department store looking for a job.
The manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?"
The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Oklahoma."
Well, the boss liked the kid so he gave him the job.
"You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did "
His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down...
"How many sales did you make today?"
The kid says, "One."
The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. You're going to have to improve considerably or look for another job! How much was the sale for?"
The kid says, "$112,237.64."
The boss says, "$112,237.64 !! What the hell did you sell ?"
Kid says, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod.
Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down at the lake, so I told him he was gonna need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a new bass boat.
Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that new Ford pick-up. I asked him how long he was going to be out at the lake and after he said 5 or 6 days I took him down to the RV department and sold him a slide-in camper for the truck."
The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat, a truck and a camper?"
Kid says, "No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said, 'Well, your weekend's shot, you might as well go fishing.

Vin is stapmed on the top of the frame under the drivers side Aaron. It's also stamped on the block, and I believe it's on the drivers side as well. The flat where the starter would be if it was on the drivers side.
