Gotta say I'm pretty excited to hear you are done enough to drive this thing around!
can't wait to see it moving.

No way... I like puppies way more than I do people.
You know as well as as I do, it will still be along time... I think. But it is a change of pace from the normal. At least stuff is going together for the semi-last time. I'll still need to do a ton of stuff. Finish the rear bumper and along with a million other things.
It will prolly be a little j rigged the first time out... not a lot of lights and whatnot..
Glue gun works.
Hooray!
Get some!
Oh, and I didn't forget about calling, I just had a ton of sh!t come up today and got sidetracked...

Hell Yeah...
And BOOM.. just like that the front crossmember is done.
It only took like three years to actually finish it.
Honestly..... I should be the only thing that you need to worry about in this universe..
j/k man.. it's so awesome to have ya back. When do the over the phone drinking games start again? I've been practicing via text with Greg.
I need to get some beer (and a fridge to put it in)! This "hotel" on base is a little lacking...Honestly..... I should be the only thing that you need to worry about in this universe..

I was trying to plan how to fix this pile of a jeep we're rocking as our only vehicle atm, while also trying to figure out why my new truck is delayed until October (and trying to knock some money off). All while playing chauffeur in said POS heep... Good times!
Oh yeah, and don't forget sweating my ass off!
Sure does!
Been really pushing myself the last three days with a lot of progress. Not really anything that you guys haven't seen before as I'm just putting everything back in the front winch area correctly.
I tell you, I did have some worries how things were going to fit again and or, not fit, but everything is going really sweet. I had pretty much everything in last night, even fired off the engine for the first time in forever, when I had bright light hit me late last night. I had forgotten to install one of the bolts on the steering box. Normally this wouldn't be a problem on a regular rig. Unfortunately, for me to do everything I wanted to on the front end, that bolt was behind everything. Off came the tube bumper, winch, boxed corner gussets, frame plates to finally see my missing bolt hole.
Anyways, the bolt is in and working on putting everything back in it's spot.
One cool thing that I did was finally put together my jeep steering knuckle that I'm using for the engage/neutral handle. Awhile back, I cut the handle in two and had a buddy tig it to the arm. Should work out pretty sweet.

Hopefully I'll have more this week.

Nice job on the handle. At least you started putting stuff back together. All I manged to do was take stuff apart.
Epic reassembly post. Awesome

I'd show you guys the starting up the engine vid, but it sucks. I did it alone. First off, I was scared as hell just popping it off. More nervous, but scared too for some reason.
I blew it off and made sure it was all hooked up correctly. I figured it would smoke some with crap build up living in my fab garage. Just not that much. Lol
I got scared and ran over to pull the hot off the bat and threw the phone in my pocket for awhile.
Anyways, she still works.
Hell, here it is
Good job Mike!
Keep it up and wheelies will be right round the corner!
But what the Fock kind of tunes do you got happening there!???

Anything that is kinda mellow when I'm in the garage. I can't think and do nice work to Pantera.
Same goes when I'm doing finish trim. I just can't do the hard stuff. I need happy music.

Thanks Brother. Pretty huge day.
This pic was a couple of hours ago of my daughter and her husband, Tanner. I just talked to the wife, I guess she is not smiling anymore at the moment.
