Lumber yard creeping.

Neat! Thanks for the update.

No, no! My grandpa is very much alive! He’s 87 years young and my grandparents recently moved. They needed to downsize is all. This past year I got a tattoo of him going off to Korea that I was eager to show him. He knew about it. I think he just wanted to surprise me too. My folks are right in the middle of the ‘sota. I’ll let you know when I’m going that way.

The dream team has been dormant for about five years now minus my wire feed welder. It lived at the cabinet shop I was working at for a while. I noticed the water lines for my TIG welder leaking about a month ago so I got a new torch. Looking forward to getting the band back together! As of recently, I inherited my grandpa’s old stick welder and his old helmets. The welder is still up in Minnesota... not sure when it’ll be heading my way. The helmets are here though. I’m sure I’ll use them once just to say I did. Otherwise they’re a couple of good looking wall hangers!

I’m up in the house when I take pictures of the mountain. My shop roofline is the cut off for holding my phone. Slight elevation change from one to the other. Edit: apologies for the lack of snow per the thread. Stock photo.

Hot off the press. Got a fresh 6” of snow last night.

Agreed. Well done!

Still a low mileage Jeep. 157k?... 557k? Who knows with this rig.

Well done. Looks like a great time!

Dang... all the pictures died. Still rockin the same headboard in case anyone was concerned.

Correct. Only ‘87s.

Such a good looking rig.

Dang, dude! That’s a lot of work! Pretty sure you can handle it though.

Check you out!... hanging around in the “Regular Ol’ MJ” build threads.

Close... but bigger. That’s an M939 five ton.

Word up.

This is the view from my house. I love living in a postcard.

Bummer, dude. Rework is never fun.

Ha!!! Even THAT is an old picture!

Oh, man... didn’t think I was getting that old until someone asks about “old school” when I remember it all being “new school”. Here’s what you need for a bright blue truck: yellow shock boots to match the yellow KC light covers across the sport bar, a little more chrome, polished factory turbines or chrome wagon wheels, white letters out on BFG All Terrains, and a goofy tubular rear bumper.

Framing is completely done! I’ve had the gable ends to wrap up so everything is flush to the walls. Still a little more insulation to go but my knees decided that I’d better go do something that doesn’t involve a ladder. Did you notice the seat? Not sure the manufacturer but it was in the CJ when I got it. I sold it and then it was given back to me because the guy didn’t use it. Anyhow, I've got zero interest in putting it back into the Jeep. I was getting a bunch of stuff from my little shed and I got tired of moving it around. I’m sure it’ll get moved around in the loft but it makes for a nice little spot to chill. It’ll get a proper base if it retains its garage couch status.

Fun fact: that green license plate in the top was found under the vinyl floor in a truck I got from Jim Oshel. Now THAT adds value.

That nail gun leaks air from everywhere, I’ve never oiled it, it’s been dropped from ladders a bunch, and yet it works flawlessly.
