Thanks bud, appreciate that. And THOR is back in business. @trailheadoffroad on IG. As for the photos it depends, some were shot with a Nokia lumia 950xl, S7, S8, or Sony A6000 with a variety of lenses for most of the nicer shots.

How it arrived



After giving it the usual treatment







Weld ****







ARB install






Now to just put the puzzle together and get this Jeep back on all fours for the first time in months


What are you using for paint on this stuff? (The grey on the front axle more specially) I love the color but also the black.

I want something more durable than rattle can but don't want to bed line my axles and underchassis brackets

Funny you mention that. May be sooner than you think. Within the past couple weeks I helped them update their logo and they just finished using my antirock to design brackets to work with their hidden winch mount

First I use a heavy primer, don't remember which exact one off the top of my head. The grey is just a Rustoleum color, but I actually like that for simple touch ups. Check out Imron 3.5 HG for a nice durable black coat.

I'm tearing through your build thread for the fist time and I get to your explanation of Jeepology and such...that line right there lands you in the "decent folk" bucket for me. Solid build so far and I can't wait to get to the end as I go (page 12 or so now I believe)
