Wish we lived closer, would like to observe a few of these. Good to see you at the meeting today.

 

You can always call and ask questions when you get around to doing them. You going to smorr with us?

 

I wish - depends on if I get a job fast enough that pays enough to cover it

 

Well got the rear bumper,brackets, hitch ,and skid plate off. Started the cut process on my passenger 1/4 but ran out of time. Will finish that side up thursday or friday hopefully and finish them up this weekend. Few pics of my progress.

 

nice looking jeep u got. how does the front locker feel on pavement? and binding or turning issues?

 

Thanks! Feels fine hardly know its their unless you make a full lock turn and you hear it click. When it was new though it made alot of noise but mellowed out. Now offroad and in 4wd it can create some turning issues in tight technical corners.

 

Finished the passenger side fold. Just need to rivet the panels together and seal it up.


Also my bumper came in this afternoon. I might get everything finished and this painted and installed by monday but we shall see.

 

Well got my driver side cut and folded. Got passenger side panels riveted together. Should finish everything up tomorrow and move on the to the bumper install sunday.
