Well for the multiple topics in the thread.. One is a declawed cat is the
only one to travel with, that way when they freak they dont get ya while
your going.. also if its trapped ina cat carrier, they seem to be worse..
but a large breed dog that love the bed of a truck is better...

I sure hope one day that we can make the journey to upper New York Mecca for
the Dak lovers.. but not sure when.. Hope fully either late this year or
early next I can start on my SAS.. 318 is coming along good. Im really
taking my time on it more than anything so I aint doing everything at once.
Would love to put it in before I do the SAS so I have a better idea of my
gearing to run 35's off road, but will probably run AT 33's rest of the
time.I still havent decided whether to screw around and change out the stock
trasnfer for a split atlas setup or not.. will look at that when the time
comes...
