When one project gets finished, another arises

[Blaze]

Don't you just love it when you finish a project only to have something stupid derail you?

Had one running and driving TJ with a t-boned trashed body. Frame and driveline is perfect, no rust, etc. My DD TJ had a crappy frame and a ton of miles but good body. @Buddy_Holly and I swapped the body over to the new frame/driveline. Actually, he did most of the work, I just came in for final assembly and troubleshooting. We finally get it together and running, jump in it, hit the brake, boom, brake line cracks.

Gotta love it.

Anyway, before and after pics....

And now that the brakes are fixed and I can actually test drive it I find a bent axle shaft. One step forward, two steps back It did make the test drive though. Love the wheels

Thank God I own a parts business or I would go broke.

Speaking of which, I found a good deal on set of jk axles with 4.10s that would go perfectly in this thing

Last night got the winch and lights wired, new axle shaft, etc. Finally back on the road.

At least you are getting one project finished before another comes up. I usually can't get a project completed before something else happens, and the original project gets pushed back.

Well, that's not EXACTLY the case, I have at least half a dozen projects, this one just seemed to have somehow squeaked out.
