Older project... Put a 110cc engine with clutch and 4 speed in this 1978 Honda 50. Bike was a wreck when I picked it up. Nice for wheelies... Got bored and sold it.

Plowing with the new machine. Pushes snow like no tomorrow. Need to get familiar with the controls. It's a lot different than the Tractor.

Paint complete... Now I can't pull the Dana 60's out of there for my next project. I've grown attached to the old girl. Ahh well. Someday!

Found this Skid Steer growing out of the woods. It's a 1977 Gehl 2500. Currently restoring this.

Picked up a 1978 Ford F250 with Snowfighter package. Main reason was to get the front and rear Dana 60 axels. Now I figure this will be my winter ride while I take the Cherokee off the road to escape the salt. Some day I'll build another 4x4 and use the Dana 60's in it.

Green tailgate now painted Chile Pepper Red to match. Also had end caps painted and rear bumper. And the shop, insulated, heated, 220v electrical, 5 high output 8' flourescent lights, hot/cold water and sound system! An upstairs storage area keeps parts I'm not using out of my way. (Getting full). I have my large compressor up there also so I don't have to hear it.

Getting there. Installing rear axel. Removed crummy red lift gate and had green one painted red. Axel has now been rotated to match pinion angle to TC. Welded new perches on.

Purple 1999 with new front end. All Craigslist pieces that I installed after straightening the front end out with a few pulls with a chain and the Tractor. Had to chain Jeep to a tree because the tractor was pulling it in park! Fun.

Searay boat I restored... Was Robin's egg blue. (Top Picture) Ugly! Now it's white! Cut all the stringers, transom and floors out and rebuilt them. Put 30 gallons of epoxy into this project! Took me 1.5 years, working every evening, weekend, holiday and vacation. Redid all the upholstery. Awlgrip paint used on hull.

Rear Disc brake upgrade: Picture of soft brake line bracket (right of axel U-bolt) from a Grand Cherokee, welded on my Chrysler 8.25" axel. Hard line is off the Cherokee axel but bent to fit Grand Cherokee soft line at bracket mount. I have a technical article on a better way to hook parking brake cable up. Works better than looping it!

Put front end back together. New Radiator and AC Condensor. Now have to transfer entire interior from 1999! Need a car wash and paint job! Headliner shown on roof. Need that to trace holes on 1999 headliner for overhead console to fit out of 1998.

44000 mile engine installed. Ran it on the 1998 and 1999 Computers just to see if it would work. It did. Interesting... Had to use the engine wiring harness off 1999 since the injectors and starter have different connectors. Painted all components as I was reassembling motor and engine compartment.

1998 Cherokee Painted the whole underbody while everything was out. Rear axel will be swapped out with 44,000 mile axel after the 1997 Grand Cherokee disk brakes are installed. Also installed Treks upper shock bar pin eliminators. Not shown. The Treks were kind of cheesy if you ask me...

1998 Cherokee 4-25-09 Getting closer. Have the 1999 engine with 44,000 miles in the 1998. (Using most of the 1999 wiring harness). Going to try and fire it on the 1998 computer... for the heck of it! JKS steering reinforcements on Drivers side. Gets rid of the Aluminum power steering spacer that corrodes away. Also installed the JKS frame reinforcement on Passenger side...

1998 Jeep Cherokee Painted all the control arms, pressed in new bushings, motor mounts and other parts painted black. Painted the engine compartment Chrysler Chile Pepper Red however didn't match all that well. Oh well... Most of it will be hidden anyway. At least it will never rust.
