That is the last thing I care to do anymore lol. its taken to much time and effort so far. I spends 60hrs a week fixing everyone else vehicles, last thing I want to do is fix my own, which to be honest is the main reason I want to sell it, less time, money, and energy I put into the jeep and into my family...

haha we do need to get out, I don't think its going to sell fast, and I obviously need to finish some loose ends first. but it is wheel-able as is!

I have a Deg in Automotive. I really enjoy it, but I need a break from my own projects for a bit... may just park it, may sell it... I am going to list it but not give it away lol. So if it doesn't sell Worst case I keep it

I can't believe your still talking about selling your rig! Lol I know where your coming from though. I dreaded working on my jeeps when I was a mechanic! You should look into getting your certified weld inspector cert. (CWI) it will run you about $2k up front but starting wage $20-$65 depending on the site... averaging 50-60 hrs a week! Hit me up if you want more info

I replaced all the bolts in my front suspension as the Crappy RC bolts stripped out and bent due to my made flex skills
POS parts... replaced them all and its all now tight and good to go. checked all fluids and other BS for upcoming trip. (safety list completed)
I also got my fenders installed. They mounted up pretty good considering used, used and used again then to me and there fiberglass... lol Big thanks to Cory(X1994J) for helping advise on repairing them, and then painting them for me. Added Lots of room for tires, 37's should fit up front without any issues or rubbing now lol.


Before (closest I could find)

After

Cage(and tube on outside of flairs) and hood are at the top of the List right now. Just need a bender and a helping hand as well as a hood to paint lol
