    And no way to get the dents out unless I use magic dent eraser (heck no!) or buy a stud gun... I think I'll live with them

    I left them in my m38. I only fixed the rust, everything else on the body was left as is.

    Keep the dents. Scars are cool (and proof of use).

    that's what I tell my wife. Unfortunately, so far all my jeep has attracted is middle aged old men.

    I'm really tired of people trying to insult me, no seriously
    And the jeep project is losing steam.

    Sammy that wasn't meant as a insult. Your a good looking kid, and by the time I was your age my hairline was already receding....so your hair is a asset
    Sammy I'm a little taken back that you thought I was taking a shot at you :(

    Sorry Jim
    This is how I got it lined up in my head though, it sounded like you were saying I would attract middle aged men
    Sounded like you were implying that to me... Guess I misunderstood?
    I like my hair long, ask Patrick he'll say the same, but I take a lot of crap from a lot of people for it.

    Dude be really glad you have long hair to speak of, a crew cut is the only way I'll fly working around spinning machinery. Mo' power to ya! How did that timing ordeal work out?

    Sammy, sorry for the confusion.

    Your jeep will attract middle aged old men. You, on the other hand, will attract hot babes. :)

    So far... Been driving it around the neighborhood, tonight with the daylighter on :shock: it was very bright!
    Still leaking like none other.
    Cage should come along quick, then paint.
    Got a skid plate for the steering box made, as well as the winch
    Figured out the timing issue if I haven't said that
    Jumped it on accident (resulting in air born)
    Xfer case is growling bad
    What else...
    Uhh...
    Thats all for now?
    Oh OD and the floors are rubbing bad, can't even shift the OD, so it's time to lift the body too.

    Picked up some stock body pucks (urethane) from my local 4x4 shop for like 25 bucks.
    Hold on I got a pic of stock vs. new somewhere....

    Just the new pucks. Lol, some of the local guys were messing around with bad body lifts, one guy was talking about his idea for allthrea and jamb nuts for an adjustable lift R)

    Could be like this guy, 2 frames HAS to be better than 1....!

    And thanks, the cage looks good but I'm not sure about the rear supports. It's a 6 pt cage but has large hoops.
    I can't wait to see it tomorrow though!
