Thank you for the comments. As for the sandrail, yep she's owned by someone else now. About four years ago now we sold the sand quads and sandrail as we were having so much fun with the Jeep. Both my son and my wife had commented about enjoying Jeeping more so I figured it was a waste of...

I apologize, for some reason I thought I had already posted before pictures. Here is the first part of the repair, after a couple of mock-ups on the actual car prior to bringing it to my shop. Unfortunately I already had the couple of bars straightened after an hour or of tweaking before I...

Finished up a '34 Ford grille shell last night that I have been working on for a friend for the past couple of nights. Turned out pretty well for being 80+ year old steel that's been sitting in a farmer's field for half of its life. Bars turned out very straight. Mike

I'm curious as well about what, if any, legal ramifications there were towards you? About 30 years ago my brother had a similar situation where he had a dog charge at him, his kids and his dog while walking the kids to the bus stop. He had actually reached for his pistol and shot the dog just...

Great job on the 2A Greg, it is coming along nicely. Mike

Here are a few pictures from mine and my wife's trip to Capitol Reef NP last week. Campground was a little more overgrown than expected and the sites were much narrower than we were told when we made the reservations but the two campgrounds we usually stay at were already booked and this was...

Thanks Greg. The extra room I have with this shop sure is nice. I had the Ammco 10k pound lift in my last shop for the past 6 years now, just brought it with me when we moved. Makes work sooooo much nicer under vehicles. Mike

Things haven't been progressing as quickly as I would have liked on this axle build and swap. I have had the gears done and the axle ready for installation since Tuesday but haven't been able to find the time to get much time in the shop this week. All I was able to get done last night was to...

Thank you. I keep copious notes on all my vehicles. I even went back to October 2011 when I built my Jeep axle last time and installed the 5.38:1 gears to compare shims and rotating torque prior to disassembly. Like you I started many, many years ago with my race stuff. Mainly because I was...

Thank you, I am flattered by your comment. It isn't easy but comes with time and patience. Sometimes my OCD is a bit more obvious than others and sometimes the OCD thing is more of a curse than a blessing.:eek2: Mike

Thanks Bart, I appreciate that. Mike

Few pictures from tonight's work. I was able to get the gears setup and ready for final assembly tomorrow night. First attempt with same shims as my old housing. Pinion was a bit shallow. Fifth time with drive and coast sides looking good. Ended up having to run about .005" more shims on...

Although not as big a change as changing jobs and home state. My wife and I had been in our previous home for just over 26 years in West Point (Davis County) and had flirted with the idea of selling our home and moving due to our deteriorating neighborhood and having to live next to Sanford &...

A little progress from Saturday. I started building my ProRock 44. Great way to spend a Saturday, in the shop wrenching on Jeeps.:D Steering, axle shafts, unit bearings and knuckles removed and ready to drop the axle. My 5.38:1 gears look great after about 73k driven miles and another...

Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments. I liked my last shop but this one is one an entirely different scale. Mike

Thanks. Mine too. Mike

I never thought I would be able to have a shop where I could have two full-size vehicles end to end let alone two vehicles end to end another full-size vehicle in the next bay AND a fully implemented machine and fabrication section all in the same shop. And my new ProRock 44 housing...

Finished up the grab handle for the wife's side of the Jeep. After a quick test fit I realized I had to take .100" off the lengths of the longer of the two spacers as it was putting an odd angle on one of the fasteners. After shortening the spacer it fell right into place. Next I knocked...

WOW! I didn't realize I have been away from this thread for a full year now. This whole selling a house and shop, buying a new house and building a new shop really took its toll on me. Being without a shop for nine months now has flat SUCKED!!! That is thankfully changing as I am getting my...
