You gotta keep your priorities right. Life, particularly family, comes before a build that's going to take a bunch of time and money.




Which means now you're going to back half and tube the shop TJ instead, right? :flipoff:

I’ve got most of the rear tubing in and welded. On bedside has a temp bracket tacked in place for now. Things went side ways at the shop so it’s been pulled into a corner but I’m trying to keep the motivation to get it done. Plus I’m tired of being at the back of the pack when we are out wheeling in the shop tj.

Glad you got it back, and your back working on something that's good for your mental health. It's nice to have something to focus.

I Can relate to your situation, I too am dealing with a horrible ex, amd had to sell toys to pay for lawyers to see my kids. Such a horrible situation to go through. Hope things are looking up for you and your able to ser your kids as they need their fathers in their life.

Looking forward to watching your build progress, amd hope to learn a few things along the way with yours and others builds.

Have a good holiday season and happy building!

Haven’t done much since I was down with a cold the kids gave me. Got the body pulled at the last shop night gathering I had. Next up is spending some time getting my arcdroid dialed in and start pumping out brackets and tabs

Because guys think stainless is bling-blang race parts and it sells. Never mind that it galls the fuck in and is horrible if you don't put it together with antiseize.


Good to see the build is progressing. :smokin:

Stainless bolts suck. Glad to see you make a bit of progress.
