So, quick back story for those that give 2 rips. Finished my buggy build October of 2013, wheeled it several times, then realized I had put too much time and effort into it to use it like it was made to be used/abused. Decided I might like to have a little more dual purpose built rig and if I was gonna sell the buggy, now was the time, while she was still fresh and new. So, sold the buggy.

Bought back a jeep that had lots of good parts and needed some TLC ( and a tranny, busted tail housing).
This is after the first bath in probably 5 years, whew was there caked on crap every where.
Was trying to get it ready for a trip I 2 weeks, so found a tranny and got it built. Had to re do some stuff and just do general maint.
Rear Detroit, notice anything amiss?
Yep, 4 bolts broken/then chewed up, that's the stuff I caught out of the diff.
Replaced a bent leaf spring(cause for broken t tranny) built a new cross member that the tranny actually bolts to, instead of just sitting on, reset the front gears and went wheeling.
It did good, I tried to find any problems by being rougher than normal with it, he passed.
Realized the frame was flexing and making the tub pop and the tires were rubbing the rear of the fender opening, so mods were in order.
I'm in the process of finishing this part up now.
As for the name, it's all baby steps, every thing I do requires something else, so, it's what about bob
And just a lil welderin' porn to keep you wondering.......
