What's on your Work Bench?

[Oakley]

My work bench is a little bigger than most. And if I can ever get caught up I will actually get to work on that second scrambler!

I knew things were going down hill with Clemson, but i didn't know it was that bad.

Well when you don’t win you get your score board repossessed I guess

Driving the truck, the excavator, or your company?

Just made up the tan grab bar in the middle to go with the Levi tan interiors of the late 70s. Now I have six colors of grab bars available. As shown, black, honey, slate blue, Levi tan, garnet, and nutmeg. A guy on Ebay asked for the tan one, so I made an extra.

Took the steering column apart to clean, paint and put new bearings and switches in it.

The front frame cover is ready to go to the foundry. I'll get one cast and check the fit to see if I need to change anything. I want it to end up the right length for the end pieces to weld on and slide alongside the frame. The castings shrink about 5/32" per foot. I've also been working on a side step for mostly 70s CJs. A customer asked me to make these exclusively for him to sell. He sent me a NOS step to cut apart and fill in for the patterns.

Put me down for a frame cover when you get some made, even if just for test fit purposes!!!!!!!!!!!

What are you "hot gluing" for presents... to make them impossible to open? I like it!!

Just kidding.

Merry Christmas!!!!

Hot glue in place of tape. It’s my signature wrapping technique. Give it a try and I swear you’ll never use tape again.

Throw in some Tyvek house wrap for good measure. Nephews didn't know what to do when used with gorilla tape, it was awesomely funny.

Santa brought my son a CJ7 model.

It is beautifully detailed but of course made in China (sadly) so it needed a little bit of fixing (the wheel flare was glued on crooked for instance). The details are lovely but there are inconsistencies:
It is a '79 but the door handles are newer model post-'81 paddle handles and the wipers are obviously from a TJ.

Most importantly though, it's a manual

Overall though it's a very decent model. My son loves it.

Maybe they put the Riptech wiperboy wipers on when late model doors were added

Ah yes, the restomod....I hadn't thought of that.
