    Oh well it takes what it takes, looked at the steering some, need to cut the steering stops a bit to get the full travel out of the ram and take undue strain of things. Going to play with it some more after I pick up my jury duty slip.
    Didn't get to go on a case, bummer
    Do you know of this company in Ontario?

    Great source for grade 9 also. They make brake lines and all kinds of neat stuff. It is a lot of fun to just wander through their aisles.

            Opted to sleep for roughly 14 hours, did me a world of good

            The ole gurl will win the Ugly Jeep award someday lol
            Still I love this Jeep

            Here you can see roughly how tall it is, it really has only about 4" of suspension lift, by the way I am 6'4" tall

            Clawing through V notches is fun, good thing the seat bar is there

            • Very cool looking Jeep, Art! That is gonna look great parked at the mall.

              Funny the things ya notice. I like the laminates on the frame side LCA brackets. No bolt hole rounding for you.

              • The whole frame is beefed up there since I cut some of it away to stuff the lower control arms inside the frame rails

                Worked on stuffing 5 pounds of crap in a 2 pound bag





                Working on finding the final placement of the lower radiator hose/pipe and the E fan so I can start routing the hydraulic hoses for the steering. Oh yeah welded a bracket in yesterday for the orbital so that has a home also.

                            • Started giving my lil darling a lil more love, the rear anti rock brackets were bending on the axle and the last outing one of the nuts for the heim on the AR arm side caught under the frame so that is going to be addressed as well.
