Ya that blows. I like to have good people come by BS alittle, throw some food on the grill, drink a few beers or mtn dew..

Well I got off the plane at 4am was home at 5 ate breakfast and was the first person in line to get tags and title done. After that I was so excited I come home droped the gas tank. and found some rust I cleaned up and painted... I also found where the mud dobbers made there home.

After I warm up its on to the next adventure..

Subscribed, looks like you're makin' progress. Worst part of building is waitin' for cash & then waiting for the brown truck to show up. I'm waiting on both!

Hey buddy dont wait till I put ya to work u can stop by anytime I always got a extra steak for the grill and some Jeep bs.

Well every time my wife takes her eyes off me I jump back on the jeep. I managed to get the rear sway bar pulled off. It went quick and easy with the impact..

This will more then likely be it for today. I have to catch up on some work and get some sleep.. Tomorrow I have to help out a friend do his floor in his mobile home where the hot water heater broke so no xj work tomorrow.

Still no parts from the ups man (Im bummed out)

As a side note I am in the market for a new daily driver (anyone see a new jeep in my future?) My 04 montero hit 100,000 miles today and I told Melissa she could have when it does. (My 18yr old little girl is growing up to fast) The montero is shown below. with the photos of my sway bar removal... I know not jeep related but hey.

Well the FedEx truck made it today with somthing I needed to finish up the cutting on the body of my toxic xj. It is a snorkel kit and i will try to get everything done for it this weekend.. I wanted it early becouse one of the first things I'm working on is all the body work. Witch leads to welding and that will be my next update Thursday or Friday..

I got it from (supernation) off eBay for $130 free shipping They have 10 left.. A guy I know got one from them its not flimsy or week and its easy to install. So I went ahead and got one. I dont no much about the company but Im super happy with the snorkel.

i can tell you depending on how high you cut your fenders that the tube to the air box may hang down enough to get caught on the tire my buddy had that problem and we are going to make it to go straight in to side of the box. just a heads up i don't know if anyone else had that problem

Thanks buddy I had already checked using my buddy's we pulled off just for that reason... From where I cut my fenders I still have plenty of room. As a sid note I made sure I could still run my EXO through there when I start on it also..
