    My Newest Project - Me !?!?

    More than fantastic. I know too many people that refuse to change in spite of the health risks. Hopefully others will see your results and follow suit. Jeep Guru and Health Consultant. That would look good on a business card.

    Long overdue update. Taking longer than I'd hoped for the usual reasons... money, time, motivation and of course waiting for parts during the covid period. Frame done. Suspension done. Engine, trans, transfer done and in. Brakes done. Axles done. Drive shafts done. Steering box...
