You can't? I haven't totally tried yet... I know you can spin one w/o a problem, I could do that w/o the s/c though... 
Andy,
Why are you selling it? You going through with that cruiser thing?

Dunno. I love the SC, but w/ 33's and 4.10's I'm just scared that I'm "robbing peter to pay paul" and will eventually eat my drivetrain. I'm also sick of paying ~$2/gal for gas. I love the sound and the power, and the first thing I'm doing (after buying a new front bumper next week) is a regear (probally in march) w/ a front locker. However, a front locker w/ a SC is just going to scream for breakage. That's when I thought about selling it for a custom rear bumper. Would I rather have an SC, then have to spend another $700 on a use URD kit that I found, and continue to pay $0.20/gal more for fuel (~$250 / year more and 93 is supposed to be ~$2.75/gal this summer if the financial analysts are right), -OR- would I rather sell it, save on gas, and get a custom rear bumper w/ tire carrier and still come out cheaper AND not have to worry about the drivetrain. I will have most of the power that I have now w/ the regear even without the SC. The SC is nice, and if this were going to continue to be my DD, then I'd definitely keep it. I'm still thinking about keeping it, but for now, I'm leaning on a rear bumper for the runner.

do an advanced search with his screen name, he did a full writeup on how he did it.
Thanks christian! The video is nothing... took me 15min to make. Just wait until I get a chance to finish the video from the last tellico run. The footage is limited b/c the others that were bringing cameras couldn't come, but it should turn out pretty well.

Where'd you get your S/C for and how much? I dreaded starting another thread about this so I'll ask here.. I am going to do the whole lot, S/C and URD, but I am uncertain who has the best deal on the S/C. Any input would be appreciated.

Keep an eye on the tranny fluid, and try to stay out of hard 1st/2nd shifts.
Congrats on getting it in!

hmmm, group buy? This would be ideal to have done the week i'll be in the bahamas for spring break. What all do I have to disassemble? Will a tranny shop have to do it? I did notice the slow shifts. Ive been trying to ease up a bit on it when shifting. I did recently put BG full synthetic fluid in with the tranny cooler, I'll be a bit more careful though. Thanks for the heads up!

Filthy,
Did you have the urd kit in before you met up with him? or did he install it and tune it for you?
