lookin damn good :smokin:

Bring your shit down to bend next weekend and we'll shake mine down out in the snow
I dont really have the money do make a trip to bend right now. I have been buying a lot of parts lately in preparation for a doubler setup, rebuilding my Subaru and new ball joints in my Dodge :eek: How about this, do your shake down run, work out your bugs, then make a trip to Portland area :D Have you ever been to Tillamook state forest, Browns Camp? You can see some of the trails on my youtube. I'll see if maybee I can scrape together some $$ to get to bend in the next month or two.

Pretty easy... Only cuz I'm dovetailed though. And the body just in front of the wheel well isn't welded to the rockers yet so I had to flex that in and work the a pillar around the door hinges....

By myself with a cherry picker.... 2 min

I'm moving to Colorado for good next Wednesday /:

I think ive mentioned it once already.... But this shop belongs to my parents, of which got divorced over a year ago... So the property has been on the market since... Luckily for me it's a huge short sale so it's taking forever to close...

Forced me to finish my jeep... But once it's done I'm outy

Paint came out better than I thought it would.... Harbor freight gun and chassis black.....

Cage is back on... Gunna be finishing that all day today... Working on the harness bar and b pillar X currently

I wish I would have been able to take my cage off to finish all the welds. I was able to take big sections off but then had to put the sections together around the body. Some of the welds didnt come out as well as I would have hoped, oh well. I am not excited about painting the cage either.

What are you moving to colorado for?

Your dog looks like he has a little Lab in him.

Ive lived in colorado for about 2 years now, played football and got a business degree at Colorado Mesa University.. Been coming back on breaks to Work on the jeep... That's why progress comes in spurts with this build...

I'm kinda going through the same thing with my cage right now... The harness bar was pretty easy but the b pillar braces sucked ass... Same with the front quarter guards... Getting what I can, it'll never break off that's for sure..


The XJ looks badass. Are you going to be in grand junction for good?
Till I move away from there, yes.... Never coming back to oregon thats for fuckin damn sure...





Back to the jeep.. It's food time and this is what it looked like what I left it...
