It would be great to have an extra set of hands on the project.... Maybe I can get Rich and Jay over here too.

If we are lucky, jeepdog1 will stop by also.

Invite me! Pick me! Pick me! I'll bring the beer!

I am strongly thinking bout that "kit" bumper. Do you have pics of it yet on the jeep. I am looking for side pics(how far does it stick out). and just some random pics. The site for them doesn't have that many detailed pics. Thank you

ill get you some as soon as i see it on the jeep myself!!!!! I did get to see the center section welded together and on the jeep and it only stuck out about 7" from the grill if i remember right. Anyways it will be at superlift i see it for the first time so pictures will follow

Tightened all the nuts and bolts I could find. Ran a longer breather to the Atlas, cleaned the NSS so it will start, made some templates for the rear bumper mounts, opened some packages that came in the mail. Going to the exhaust shop Monday to get everything from the downpipe to the tailpipe. Next weekend... Moab!

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?

I finally stuck the XJ today. The diffs were dragging in the mud, and once the crossmember made contact with the ground, the jeep just kinda slid to a stop. I gotta stop following trucks on 33s, at least until I get rid of the 235/75/R15s. A quick tug with a snatch strap took care of it though.

I managed not to work on a single jeep or other POS this entire weekend. :cheers:
Gotta be some kinda record for me.

Made a rear bumper, picked up a spare that turned out to be the wrong size but it was $15, and then loaded it on the trailer to get an exhaust Monday.

I think I am going to make my own once my plasma cutter gets here.

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?

RRC is the way too big geographicly speaking. Did we just annex NH?

As for the stiffeners, I haven't really noticed yet on the road.

Got it inspected, and drove it all over town. Feels good getting it out legally.

Got another steering column. Got it mostly apart. Just need to get the wiper switch out, then put it in the steering column in the Jeep. I still HATE steering columns...
