Like Jeremy, I just simply can't bring myself to go off-road without my full-size spare. It makes my head hurt to just think about it. I also carry the ARB plug kit and have had to use it one time on a vehicle that we came upon on the trail with a flat and no spare traveling alone. Both of...

This shit is getting real old real quick. Now anytime someone doesn't like a verdict they'll conjure a protest, regardless of how guilty the perpetrator was. The premise of not breaking the laws just simply don't register with these people. We've created a society that doesn't seem to think...

Finished the Jeep up last night. Got my cutting and buffing tools and supplies out and ready to go. It’s been a little while since I’ve used them but it’s amazing how easily everything comes back. License plate frame installed. I used some nylon washers until I can machine a couple of...

Sorry, I wasn't trying to nit-pick. I just noticed it and would hate to see a failure while on the road. Mike

Glad you got it running good and back on the road. These LS's sure wake these things up and put the fun factor back in them. Hope you get many happy miles out of it. Mike

Ooops. I didn't realize I had already posted this project. Sorry about that.

This was a project that came to me from North Carolina. A gentleman reached out to me to see if I could engine turn a couple of signs for him. I had never engine turned anything before other than in high school a small piece of aluminum using a drill motor and a pencil eraser. This one made...

Price is the only reason I even entertained the idea of changing brands as I have been pleased with the quality of the PPG over the past 33 or so years I've used it. I felt comfortable with the products and was nervous/anxious to change. However, I went to my paint supplier a couple weeks ago...

Enjoy your trip. You'll like the Burr Trail. Nothing too extreme but the views are amazing, especially from the top of the switchbacks. Mike

Like riding a bike....... Felt kinda good to have my old Iwata gun in my hand again. Three coats of PPG DBC base down. First coat of SPI Universal Clear. After third and last coat of clear. And I’ve got my shop back in order. For the first time spraying this clear I am...

Thanks but I'm not shooting this in my shop. No way in HELL I'd spray inside of my shop. I pull it outside, spray it and then back it back into the shop afterwards. And yes, it was hotter than hell yesterday wet sanding it and shooting it outside. And wouldn't ya know it, as soon as I masked...

Last night after arriving home from work I pulled the Jeep out and wet sanded the repair area. I was very pleased with how the SPI 2K primer sanded. It had sat for about 56 hours so maybe that had something to do with it, meaning I hadn’t rushed it. After drying everything and blowing the...

Saturday morning I sprayed some SPI 2K primer surfacer onto the rear corner along with some guide coat

Nice repair on the drain valves. Those look like good quality valves. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest you look at your spring bushings. This one looks to be shot.

Just going from the rear gate jamb to the seam around the corner. All other paint is in pristine condition other than a couple of stratches on the passengers doors that I will polish out and a new Rubicon sticker on the hood that has stgarted to peel from the heat. Mike

Some pictures from last night’s quality shop time. If you look at the driver’s rear quarter you can see where the plastic factory license plate holder had rubbed through the clear and base into the primer. This has bugged me ever since I relocated my license plate to the spare tire carrier a...

Looks like there's a few end mills there Dan. :rofl: I have that exact Carr Lane Trig handbook and keep it in my toolbox for quick reference. Mike

I have a couple of NAPA floor jacks and they are great. Had them for about 15 years now with no issues. I have a standard height 3.5 ton and a low profile 2 ton model. Mike

I took yesterday off work to get caught up on a few things in the shop as well as having to wait around for a contractor to show up. I was able to get some items crossed off of the white board so I can move on to the next task this coming weekend. Drilled & tapped the two holes to secure the...

PM sent. If you have anything left. I'm a little late to the party. Mike
