At the rate I'm going, it's more likely you'll see his there than mine...Andy in Pa. said:Keep plugging away Rob, we may just see this jeep at Nac-Fest 2008 yet!!!!! I'm not willing to bet any money though....
So far I've cut off the entire exhaust (had to test out my new sawzall somehow) and I just pulled the battery to toss it on a charger to see if I can save it.
Hm, not a good sign when all I've done is taken it apart even more...

Looks good Gabe!!!
I think all of my junk (both Jeeps) are ready to go. Got the Staun Beadlocks in the XJ a few weeks ago (forgot how hard it is to put tires on rims by hand...ugh..), and the MJ seems solid. A good once-over and I think I am all set!!!

What, so no more fun re-seating a bead on the trail again? :laugh3:Andy in Pa. said:
I still haven't made any progress on my rig. Seems like nature is out to get me. Any free time I've had to work on it it ends up raining... Perfect example of why I need a garage.

Did you ever get your winch fixed?

Is it that time already??????? Guess I better get "Mr Dutch" out of the barn! :shocked:
Replace the exhaust system
Install the dropped pitman arm
Install the steering box brace
Install the sliders
I think that is all, but then...............:dunno:

Made some progress on my jeep this weekend:
New front and rear axles with 4.56 gears are in. Only one big SNAFU. My RE super flex lowers are stuck on the old front axle. The lower bolt seems to have rusted to the inside of the control arm and won't come out even with a BFH. I am going to just go ahead and cut them off, then work on on drilling the bolt out at my leisure. In the meantime i ordered up some replacement arms so that I can wheel at NACfest.
Still to do:
Hook up steering and do an alignment
Install front locker
Install rear locker and Chromolly shafts
Install 4 new shocks
Get a new battery for the jeep so it actually starts
Find my coolant leak and fix
I've got less than 4 weeks, I better get moving!
