Weekend is over...what did you get done?

You obviously wouldn't need a winch if the only vehicle you hauled had a winch on the front of it. The winch is SUPER nice for loading dead vehicles. I loaded that XJ body with no axles in about five minutes the other day.

Yeah I was pretty much just saying in my case I dont have a need for a winch on my trailer.

I haul POS XJ's more often than I haul my trail rig... I need a winch. lol

X2 on the need. I've had to pick up the son's XJ the 5 speed xj, and the Beat up Benz twice this year. Dead vehicles are not fun to load.
 
Looks like a totally different Jeep with the same body damage! I love those wheels.

Those wheels are nice looking but they pack mud on the inside bad if they are the same as the 5.9 rims.
 
Look like they'd hold a lot less mud than beadlocks

It's the backs of them that pack up. I just cleaned 4 out by removing them from the jeep. They are curved spokes so the mud packs in them. I thought that was the problem with the 98 so I removed them and cleaned them good.
 
Friday: Hung out with GF at a local watering hole a friend works at.
Saturday: Worked on Jeep. Straightened out some lighting issues. Finished the reinforcing of the unibody to the cage by the wheel wells. Sweated a lot!

Removed the windshield:



Sunday: Picked up more pallets. Watched some Netflix with the GF. Worked on the Jeep some more. Mainly started to wrap things up. Added zip tie to electrical wires. Pulled the washer bottle.

So I'm thinking about Lexan for a replacement on the windshield. No one locally has what I need so I was thinking about two options. One sheet of 24" x 60" cut to shape and bolted in or two pieces of 24" x 30" with a small strip in the center to bolt to. Thoughts?
 
What did I do this weekend? Bought a 2006 F350. It's the loaded Lariat with more luxury than I know what to do with.

Truck is with me in California. Might be a little out of your way?

My goal was to have a tow pig when I leave CA. I was looking at +mpg DDs and a couple gasser 1/2 tons, but kept my eyes open for diesels. This one popped up as one of the best overall deals I was looking at, so I decided to fullfill the pig requirement.

Once the Rocket is done, aiming at December, I'll get it out here to CA and haul it out around to Hollister Hills, Rubicon, and Johnson Valley. I'm really gunning to make it out to KOH '16, possibly KOH '17.
