Re: 78 CJ-7
Well at least my hub broke 'in' 4x4 so I don't have to go pulling off
wheels today. :-)
I usually post invites to runs here. There are a few of us that go out
on a fairly regular basis.

Re: 78 CJ-7
Thanks to Greg (greglc84) from the NG I do carry a spare hub! He sent
me a pair of OEM ones when he upgraded his rig.
I just 'really' didn't want to deal with getting a tire off in this ice
storm. I can't do it and talking someone around here into it is,
well...
I sure am hard on hubs....
