lil bit of tinkering

[Ol Man]

Bought 3 bolts, 57 bucks, what's this world coming too
2 x3/4" x 10" and 1x 3/4" x9'" grade 8 and 2 grade 8 nuts ouch.
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.

I love everything about this photo!

I have to agree. Definitely iconic.

Yup they are about 2 miles from my house, buy quite a few odds and ends from them.

Broke down and bought some bling for my baby



If somebody wants to buy a set, I found a pretty good dealer
Order went in yesterday morning , found them on my porch today.
Gonna have to get busy tomorrow

he plan was to go do some wheeling today, but alas to darn tired and sore.
Opted to sleep for roughly 14 hours, did me a world of good
Still lazy though, so played with my camera a bit.
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



Some of it latest beauty marks







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



Da bling



It's big @ss



Ugly Betty? or tank? :rofl:



Fancy interior

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.

[aw12345]

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.

where did you get the wheels from?

[aw12345]

A dealer that advertises on Jeep forum

[Toolman]

any progress on the buggy Art ?

[aw12345]

Nope been slacking and having fun wheelin. Going to get back to it some time this week

[daniel_buck]

Art, your TJ is a monster! It was great to see you and your jeep this passed weekend! I can't wait to see the buggy

[aw12345]

Lil Jeep does ok doesn't it? Buggy will be fun when it's done

[aw12345]

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.

[aw12345]

Moving right along.
