the in house warranty only applies if they do the install, and i'm to cheap to do that :thefinger:
yea, i'm running a spool, but it usually breaks the warrantied axles not r&p

YEP,,, that's why i'm not gonna make the M&G tonight.
work at the tehachapi shop tonight, and first thing in the morning.
the rig should be totally complete before 10am friday.
then grocery shopping, cooking and packing for the jambo.
"PLEW" should be rolling into tehachapi around 4:30

Becka and I are caravanning out of town at around noon (I am stuck at work this morning). Hope to be on the lakebed by 3:30.

I don't know where the Benders are camping, but we will camp close so we can participate in the food and raffle. Call us when you get on Boone Rd.
