Funny, I type keepin, & stupid phone types jeepin'.

Get together would be cool, always a PITA, finding places to go.
Linky link to it?

And, i think i've found my new signature. Thank you good sir.

It'd be sweet if we were all to get out one day. I know of one nice trail area and a decently steep hill climb area down river road, off a service road.

Well, turns out on the ride back to my uncles with his trailer (thanks New York. Don't bother fixing your roads.), the whole *** end of my brother's Laredo is cracked. I can fit my entire hand in the crack. Nothing around it is weldable thanks to pretty much nothing but rust. The trailer hitch is the only real metal that's holding the *** of that truck together. He thinks there's a solution to it. We're gonna try and take a huge hunk out of the frame out, then replace it with some newer, better metal, and instead of having the trailer hitch bolted on, we're gonna weld it right to the frame. I was thinking of making a cradle for the backside. Like, a U fitting around the back end, attached to around where the wheel well meets the back quarter panels. Hopefully i'll have some pictures soon.

Not 100% sure but I'm not sure is you can patch unibodies & pass inspections here in glorious NYS. Cut my buddies XJ up cause his unibody has split. Crying shame. Took his HP D30 though. Lol score for me.

Yeah, plus, he shouldn't need it inspected til, like next year. He just got it inspected probably a month or two ago, and i have no doubt by his next inspection, there will be a bigger issue than just a mended frame, haha.
