Not all of us get our emails instantly. I called after 4PM and can only hope it has an impact. Pres Bill It’s unfortunate that the email was sent out on the heels of the meeting.

Have only done one partial Rubicon run. From the California side did about 1/3 to 1/2 way in and then back out. JK unlimited rubicon (so locked front/rear) on 37"s. Just about every undercarriage armor that anyone makes for the the JK. Strong aftermarket bumpers with good attachment points front and rear, and front winch. And I'm full of hot air: york based onboard air, air on warn power plant winch, and power tank. Wife approved my weekend pass so looks like I am planning on going.
