Scrappy found the keys to his Dog

[Matt S.]

Thats right folks... I found the keys to that dog of a jeep. I must still love me because with just a jump of the battery, it fired right up and was able to drive off the trailer that it had been parked on since last NOVEMBER! Can you believe its been almost a year since I "lost" it?

If you remember, this is how I had it as of November of 05'. Was completly wheelable, but just was tired of it. Tried to sell the thing even! My dad said he would go into it with me if I would not sell it. So we got a trailer, and parked it.

I am not showing you what I have done exactly, but if this picture shows whats going on... thats all that is needed! Remember, its got to be "done" for JV in november.

well probably a buggy, unless he just took that off to fit bigger better tires.

 

[Matt S.]

Worked more on it tonight, I hope to have all the fabricating done this weekend. Yes, I am just that damned good. Why you think everyone wants me?!:firedevil

Here is another teaser shot

Hows that?

 

[GSequoia]

So since you'll be done this weekend that means you'll be at my place next weekend to get my junk done?

 

[Matt S.]

Uh... no G.

I still will have to install new axles, fix a few things, trim the main wiring harness down, and add some padding to my seat. I want to try to get the fabbing done this weekend, not much more. Need to build a diff cover, steering, and install a SBS kit. After I have done the necessary things... I am chasing wieght.:cheers:

Plus I want to go wheeling at Hollister on the 4th. I also have to finish another jeep I have been building for a friend so his is ready for JV! whew.... to much stuff!
