then you can setup a base camp and still go exploring in the Jeep

feels good, doesn't it

that's a sweet setup you've temporarily created

nice render

is that the one started by a guy that was on here?

my bro in law bought a smoker and has been have a lot of fun with it. I think it's time to get father a small version so there's one at the house I can play with.

sorry, bout that. the spammer defense are kinda annoying. but you should be good to go now.

my family did that once, many moons ago. never again.

I was pleased with the Precision kit.

paint works just fine if you can get all the rust up. the most important thing is finding all the leaks. if moisture persists, it'll keep going bad down there. don't assume it's just the one leak either. these things leak all over. these are the ones I found on the pass side of the truck I'm working on.

what string of words got the AI to make that?

I prefer to strip the entire truck out. I've accidentily hurt the headliner and bpillars in junkyard trucks while trying to cut out the rear window. but maybe if you're super careful?

the rubber is just a beauty trim piece. the core problem is the urethane glue has died and needs to be redone. just did that with the truck I'm working on. be prepared to deal with some light rust on the mating surface (which is usually why the urethane fails to adhere).

huge thanks to all that contributed to making the trip possible. pretty sure I cemented my title as best Uncle ever. when there's a checkers table available, ya gotta play. got to watch a bonus fireworks show from the hotel we were passing through does it make me a bit nervous handing my camera over to a 10 year old? yeah, lil bit. not gonna lie. but I trust her enough and am looking to get that spark of excitement of being a photographer. Disney World french fries for the win I was never into characters as a kid, but when in Rome... teh 10 year old and I woke up super early to rope-drop DHS (to ride Rise of the Resistance without the usual 2hr wait) and were rewarded with getting to meet the Mandalorian and Grogu! and yes, the little guy is quite animated. very cool tech. that evening I paid for the lightning lane and rode again with the 7 year old too. Rise of the Resistance is apparently the best ride ever as voted by the kids. I promised they could build their own light sabers (the cheap ones, not the crazy $200 ones) so of course we had to snap photos. she swears she enjoyed the roller coasters. had my doubts due to the level of terrified screaming, but we went on all we could so I guess it's all good. I feel ya, li'l buddy. I feel ya. I'm still paying dearly for the exertion I asked my body/brain to do last week, but it was totally worth it. big smiles all around.

seems like something that someone in a less dry/sunny area can pick up for ya at a junkyard and chuck in the mail.

cutting and welding is one thing. balancing the shaft is whole other thing. an unbalanced shaft can ruin other, far more expensive things. I wouldn't pay 250 just to end up with stock shaft again, but rather I'd get a new shaft from Dennys or Adams. way stronger. also you shouldn't be cutting the rubber end, but rather the solid end. speedo can be skipped altogether if you're on a tight budget. just use your phone's GPS to figure out what rpm in what gear equals the basic speeds. it's real easy once you get used to it. my 88 still doesn't have a working speedo.

guy on FB was asking for info. @jdog

very nice how's the paint holding up?
