Here we go again.

What is that Laredo thing in the back ground ? That gay Porn thing must be from that Jeep. Only a true gay porn lover would drive one of those.
I see Moab in that picture, we need to get back there and run some trails.

Yeah! So we can watch you flop all over the place! :haha:

Yeah Stu, I understand there is some video floating around of you on Escalator. Where is it man????

Should be getting drive shafts today. Finish up some tinkering on the suspension and then get to work on some sheet metal. Right now I just want to stay up and work on this thing until it's done!

Got the shafts today. Hell, I might just be driving next weekend after all. I've decided to rename the Rat. I think PITA is much more fitting...

No, actually kept putting it off until I knew for sure how long to make them. Got them overnight. Free! The overnight that is...

[Geebo]

Too bad the DMV wouldn't give you that one. Tell them it's People Into Tasty Animals.

It's almost Miller time tonight.
Got all kinds of stuff done tonight in preparation for driving her out of the garage tomorrow.

Got the spring rates nailed, just need to go pick up the right ones for the rear Monday. 250/300 in the back is too much , but the 200/250 in front is perfect (those were the rear springs, moved 'em up front). Will go to 200/250 in the rear.


The front suspension is done. Everything is mounted and the inner fenders are cut to fit around this stuff real nice


Roll cage is now complete. I still have to add the soft top bracketry but that will get done lata


Seats fit nice and ther is enough headroom.

Here is my impression of Fred Sanford. Can you tell what the grey panels are? They will be the tank enclosure and fenderwells, as well as a center console, but for now they are Home depot shelving. I found them in the dumpster behind HD on Harbor this morning. Hey, waste not, right? Keeps the budget down too!

All the brake lines, air lines and vent lines are in and routed. New drive shafts are in. Perfect fit!

[RAT]

Exhaust will be done in the morning. Tight is the word...



I can't believe it all fit in there. But it's done!


The cage fit so nice behindthe dash, I'm sure an engineer at Jeep designed it with all that room back there knowing someone would stuff tubing in there


And yes, all the factory speakers and vents still fit (tey're in there)


I miss my SUPERWINCH...

[Ol Man]
