Smell nice? Maybe some may enjoy that classic grandma smell of moth balls which works as well. Happy hunting, send in the cat.

Another 17" of snow to remind me my 4wd needs attention. when it stays locked in 4lo it works great.

So far its holding up now. The preheating on the bucket seemed to do the trick. Drives way better now on the road. Even drive over the one spot on the bridge that always set off the death wobble. Very happy with things now. Now to only figure out the 4wd popping out. Thinking it maybe the shift fork worn by the indent that shifts. So maybe looking at getting the tcase rebuilt and since i have the 231c on the shelf, going to read up on what I can come up with.

It good for travel just don't have very good welding skills so bolt broke 9ff with lack of penetration on the spring bucket. Going to preheat ot a bit before try welding it again. Only have a 120 flux core welder to use.

Not sure she likes it...

Getting stable. ...

Sweet. Baby jeep will need this.

Gotta love fresh goodies. Very nice.

All the same... mine 75 special off ebay there, is loud and can be irratating to some I can see for sure. But it works and I can drive so good enuff.

Gotta love fresh paint.

Picked up brake caliper and hope to install today and get a good test drive in on the big jeep. But not so big anymore when i would love to run 42s. front looks silly now with the 34s, not so bad from the side. All in good time i gather. Very happy with the doors and gonna love funtional window cranks.

Up all night working on big jeep....

Couple poser shots for the journaling.

Well big jeep is running again. Just need a new battery dangit. Darn cold kills the batteries fast up here. BIG Jeep is running again!!

Got the vents and being no good discription i ha e found i do need to order gormets now as well. and shall wait another week..

Sweetness. What I needed, however I went with the simple make my own route and source some from a local fab shop. GUY has a plasma table and all and does some nice work. Had what I needed to make something that should to work. We bent up some 3/8th threaded rod. Should be right there with the 'good enough'. Here is his sight if wanted to check it out. I was thinking of having some MJ key chains made up. Be cool. Custom art work or fab parts he offers.

Well nice to find gad tank already primed for install. Sweetness. now the fuel pump setup was little big but nothing good set of channel locks can't remedy. Got new straps but no jbolts, need those as well as the roll over vent things that are $12 +$12 shipping at o reileys, so think i costed myself $50 as I may have already scrapped the old tank forgetting I was saving it for the said vents. progress shall continue one way or another....I wonder if I can just put duck tape over them for now...??

Sweetness!

Just ordered last gas tank with straps available from ebay for 161 shipped to my place. Not bad i think. For sure going to paint it thos go round. Now to source the sending unit as My boush pump is still newish..

Old 37s gone, forward with 34s.

.

Just felt like smiling at me i reckon after it spit out a bolt i can only gather is from the oil pump removal doing the rms. Think I'm going to work on the big jeep and put that back on the road and wait till spring for baby jeep....

Test drive....

Nice having doner rig right there. Did mine same way. No rush its there.
