That's the problem ole buddy... I "DO" have too much time on my hands. Since the back alteration I'm not allowed to do anything, so I spend my time dreaming up nonsense like this. And... I just don't believe Ashley said that!!! :shaking: If Chipper would get back on that chicken house I could focus my attention on him for a while. :lol:

All BS aside... that is one fine looking rig, and one heck of an upgrade from the little Cj5!!! Looking forward to seeing it for real! :beer:

I keep telling my self you don't have much to do but every time I think about it I find something else that needs to be done.

Steering hoses are now complete but didn't get much more done cause I took off Friday evening and took the kids to the Nationwide race. They had a blast.
Didn't get a whole lot done yesterday cause I had to do some yard work and get ready to throw a bday party.


Things I have left to do are:

-Build bumpers
-Modify existing winch plate off the ole CJ or build a new one
-Install all my gauges and dash plate for gauges
-Install switches for compressor and ARB
-Push button start
-incab winch controller
-OlJeep is going to build my shifter cover
-Install/paint skid plate and extend it forward to make a full skid
-install propane bottle clamps and buy a 10 gallon tank
-Hook up all my air lines including compressor, arb, and tank. Still need to install tank.
-put nitrogen in my ORI's
-May polish my links
-Need to cut about 1/2''off my top control arm on the front to make my pinion angle 100% correct
-run propane lines
-finish bolting in seat belts
-need to fill fluids in axles, hydro steering, cooling system
-install rock lights
-install hood
-paint/install high lift jack

So yes I still have some things to do but not near as much as I had a couple months ago. Hoping to have most of this knocked out in the next couple weeks.

Thanks man I appreciate it. I'm hoping we have many years of enjoyment out of it.
It would be done alot sooner if I could take a little more time off work but I got an asshole for a boss. :flipoff2:
 
:wtf:yeah he really is! I dont see how in the hell you work for him, tell him to jump off a bridge cause your Jeep needs to get done. :driver:

Oh by the way, I have your right up and termination papers laying on my desk as i type this...... :fuck-you:
