Throw him in the passenger seat and maybe driver seat. My local jeep club holds weekend long trail runs which is what got him hooked.
Thanks

Well got the transfer case back in. The long arm cross member completly installed and the front suspension completly removed. Couldnt get the pitman arm and tie rod at pitman off because it was seized up. Got to get an arm puller at autozone tomorrow to get it off. Now to decide on what kind of locker to run in the rear. Detroit or save some money and run a spartan like i have.

Very cool to see something like this. :-) Sounds like it will be a sweet rig. Looking forward to see how it ends up!

Everything completely out from under the front. Got the axle up so we can put new ball joints and upper arm bushings. Got some help getting the jks mini skids welded on

Well started removing the knuckles to press out the ball joints when this happened. Glad we decided to replace them before hitting the trails. This could have been a big disaster waiting to happen in an offroad situation.
