    I have held out on all of you long enough. It has been quite a while since my last update. I have not finished my Jeep, but I am making some progress. I have my wiring almost finished, and I installed my new grill lights, fender markers, taillights and backup lights. I also washed all the dust off. Mcruff has my steering column and is installing some new bearings. I have alot of small things left to do, like E-brake cable, clutch cable, and bleeding my brakes. I still have to have the exhaust installed. Keep your fingers crossed for this Summer.

    Yes I can, I have been waiting on the day to take it for a drive.

    I never realized how much work it would be to rebuild a complete vehicle. Initally I thought a few thousand dollars and a couple of months would do the trick, boy was I wrong. I am almost 3 1/2 years into this, and way over budget. I will be very sceptical if I plan to do this again.

    My wife and daughter are good for finding distractions. My daughter starts preschool this Monday, so I hope I can get some more time for the 6.
