I like that I think it turned out nice, looks good on there Jason. Did you have to do some more cutting on the fenders to fit it in there? I remember when you were here it looked like you might have. Hows it look from the side?

Looks good Jason. Big Dog, you do really nice work. We all would like to get down to Oregon and run TSF sometime this summer. I've been wanting to get down there for years. TSF is on my Bucket List of wheeling spots to run before I die...lol.

The guys who came to get the bumper from you, Jason and Chris (Chris is my son) told me that odgreen89on35s lives just down the road from you. I PM'd him the other day about possibly trail leading for a trip to TSF. He hasn't answered me back yet. Do you talk with him much??

Yeah we talk a lot he is a good guy and friend now. Funny thing with it was we met on here with out knowing we live less then two blocks from each other lol then became friends. See small world here though with you being jasons dad to lol. I hope by the time you get to come up here for a trip my junk will be back out to. He will get back to you bs works a lot of long hours most the time.

Adjusted the draglink to center my steering wheel. After installing the new Trac Bar and Sway Bar Quick Discos it was off a little. I just have 2 pet peeves with any rig. Inop. lights and a steering wheel that is not centered. Had to air up 2 of my tires, too. Must have slow bead leaks. I get wood slinters in my beads all the time up at Walker valley. I suppose I should invest in Bead lock wheels someday. I am all ready for my 4wheeling run up to Walker this coming Saturday!!!

I'll be putting Dave's bored TB back in Lil' Red tonight - and a driver side door check mechanism that was removed(?). Need to transfer the Alpine BT-103e head from my F-150 to the Cherokee too. Might crawl around my acre lot a bit for giggles... need to cough up ~$200 to get this thing registered and plated still.
