Pete M Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 what was once a single board, is now many. nearly finished. just need to stabilize the bottom of the slide and find a way to give it a bit of "roof" (probably just a tarp). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Nice work Pete Yesterday, I decided to clean the headliner in the KJ. I roll with windows down versus AC about 99% of the time and noticed the liner was a bit darker than normal. I tried wiping it with a dry rag and that made it 1000X worse, so I broke out the carpet cleaner (that has a hand/wand adapter thingy on it to clean upholstery). One thing led to another, and 5 hours later I ended up shampoo-ing the entire interior, cleaned all the glass inside, and detailed the engine. LOL. That got out of control quickly.....

mjeff87 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Got the headliner done, then did the seats and the rest of the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeatCJ Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Ugh. Hottest day of the year so far, and I told the neighbor I would get rid of a downed tree for him. Then we went out and replaced 30 boxwood shrubs one of the guys that works for me ran over. Dang circle driveways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante2 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Weather has been very nice so I finished up the window treatments on the back of the house. I started this last spring and got the front windows and porch done. Roof, siding, painted brick, and garage door have been done over the last few years. 1st pic is 10 years old. Siding on the east side took an F1 tornado hit without a hiccup days after I got it installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex06 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 '76 Buick Skylark S/R from my Sig line. Currently have the car broken down in a million pieces, putting a Speedtech Performance Streetfighter front end under it which is requiring major frame modifications.

While I love taking pictures and building cars, I hate uploading and trying to make sense of it. I.E. I may not do a build thread but I would totally do a picture vomit post.

All around mj Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I’ve been putting a bit of time in my IWI Tavor SAR making it more SHTF ready instead of just being a cool looking stock Bullpup rifle. I also use it for Missouri white tail. I’m sure a lot of people will tell me .223/5.56 is not a good round for deer hunting, I’ve heard it a million and a half times, but I’ve been hunting deer with that caliber for over ten years. I get one shot kills every time, however if I don’t have a clean shot, no matter the rack size, I just watch and hope it makes it until the next year.

Pete M Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 built a garden box for my folks. still need to finish the protective screen. metal around the perimeter to discourage mammals and plastic mesh for the rest to discourage birds. each quadrant rotates up out of the way for access. Pretty sure we planted too many things, but whatever. tomatoes, cukes, peppers and herbs. we bought "dirt" in a bag (not sure why, but down south dirt in a bag looks like rotted mulch, not dirt), covered it with ant-weed mat, then a bit of mulch for moisture retention.

rokinn Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Excellent design with the ability to open it up for weeding and harvesting. Might have to steal it from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Yeah, I like it. I might have to try something like it. I’ve got a six-foot fence around the yard, but so far it hasn’t quite worked to keep elk out, and last summer we lost the garden to them. It would also be a great frame to hang some plastic or something for an impromptu greenhouse to extend the growing season a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogmorgo Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 It would of course let any heat out as soon as you opened it. But it would be excellent for us here where at the end of august it might still be getting up to 90° during the day, but it’ll freeze overnight. Mountain weather I tell you.

MiNi Beast Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Working on a budget dump trailer cause I be a broke mofo. Made use of the bed liner that I wasn't using in the rig. Figure I could make some side supports out of an old truck shell that was going to scrap. Then I would be able to put my topper on the trailer when not on the rig and use as an enclosed trailer to keep tools or materials dry. Or hell just setup camp out of it. now to get the hoist mounted then I'm ready for some log catching. Oh and maybe redo the lights again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCO6 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I've almost finished an off road trailer and have just started doing the body and paint on my LJ. It's hard to tell from these pics but the trailer is the same grey as the LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugboat95 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 No pictures, but after 18 years My wife has decided it's time to renovate the master bathroom. At least the Jeep runs and drives but no money next month or two to tinker on it. New floor, paint lights, and a granite counter top and sinks and faucets. Pulled the trigger tonight on the contractor, (told her I wasn't doing it). Been looking at stuff and ordering for a month now. Now she's talking doing the kitchen again after the bathroom. I just redid it 8 years ago. But happy wife, happy life! Sent from my KFKAWI using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
