Absolutely gorgeous truck! This is how the Comanche should've looked if they kept the production running as long as the Cherokee.

Look at the size of this beetle 😳 -> Never seen anything like that. Welcome to northern Florida. He was so strong that I couldn’t pick him up by the sides. Had to let him crawl up onto me to get a picture

I got the both bumpers powder coated and the winch is fully installed and operational. I was able to keep the factory skid plate with the new bumper. Also I did a custom free spool lever so I didn't have to reach under the Jeep to unlock the winch. I cut off the handle and welded a 3/8" extension on it and drilled a hole in the bumper to access it. It works very well.

Thanks, Pete! Perhaps… we already got a good rain after I wrapped up for the day. I’m sure there’s going to be all sorts of add-ons once things get settled.

fantastic execution! I love it!

excellent work! are you adding a gutter? it looks like the roof just dumps right onto the stairs.

Been getting help with a molding supply company on fabricating these. We're getting closer to identifying the best method. They're complex parts to mold, but I accept the challenge

Happy 4th!

Mission accomplished.

I like when there’s a mental image of something just being there and then one day it is. I’ve pictured this little deck for years now! Floor tomorrow. Maybe start on a railing this weekend too? I need to run conduit for an outlet and then I’ve got some additional steps to add behind the house.

King Cole Trio is another group you might like. Same era and its early Nat King Cole.

Just watched the blues Brothers the other day, probably why I'm on a Cab kick

Anybody enjoying anything good for the holiday?

Okay, we’re about at the point where the stripping of old stuff is complete. Both sides are cleaned up.

Lol no just did a little NE Indiana living. On a side note I should have changed the upper control arm bushings on the diff. I tried to shortcut it and skip these but now can't get the caster in spec. Guess it's back to wrenching to change the upper bushings. I should have known better.

All new steering linkage went on this morning. Full V8 zj linkage. Most of it is moog with one piece (drag link) being doorman due to no moog available. New ac compressor installed also. My temporary work around ac line leaked so I am waiting on new fittings so I can try again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you and our great country.

Taking a break from the regularly scheduled content to appreciate that today is my birthday, and my great friend got me a custom 1/64 scale Comanche. Also the racetronix fittings should be here Monday, so much for FedEx 2 day shipping.

Yes! Probably his most fun rendition of Minnie the moocher.

I loved him in Blues Brothers.

Good ole Cab Calloway. Can not go wrong with any of his pieces nor his unmistakable voice.
