    More updates.

    The Jeep is on the road (sort of). I put on new tires and wheels this weekend and got the Jeep inspected. Had a little mishap with my windshield falling out but other than that I am good to go.

    Not so much talent as time. I have been putting 20-30 hours a week into this and trying to take my time and do things right the first time. Thanks for the encouragement.

    Very nice, fast work. Makes me ashamed of myself as I am not getting anything done on my 70 CJ5. If you had bought a 70 you would'nt of had to give the state any money for an inspection though. lol
    I live just down the road off exit 18 on I77 so if you ever need a hand please let me know. I am home during the day also if that helps

    Latest update pic.

    Been side tracked with other stuff for awhile but just got around to paint the past couple of days. This is 3 coats done with Rustoleum Safety Red and a roller.

    Bed liner is DupliColor from Wal-Mart

    Tires are 235/85/16 from HiTec

    Looking forward to wheeling it as soon as build a front bumper, mount some recovery pts and build some rocker protection.
