IMHO, he laid down some very nice welds!  Lots of wire burned today.  I'd guesstimate close to 8 foot of bead.  8)

Not to be a smart aleck, but it was at least 8'. 44x2 tube to mount.  6x4+4 for the ends. 10" around each clevis 3 times so 60" for those. So that's 172" or just over 14'

Now how many "do it again" do we need to add?

Bumper painted but frame not ready. Sandblasting issues. More operator but the problem is still no ability to get rust off… yet.


"New-to-me" seats from Combatmedic in place. They are lower. I can actually see the gauges through the wheel. I think a bit of tube steel will fix it.


Photos sometime when I am less likely to throw a phone through a windshield.

Eh .. No. Fenders needed. Hood and grill still in progress. And tires.need tires.  Had a flat this morning. 

And then there's the whole "sell a jeep before the big trip" issue. Some people.

Tempting. I've got an option if 5 new GY MTR mounted etc a couple hundred lower. And I might get shot if I add yet another set of wheels to my collection.

Speaking of that ... What do you do with the castoffs? Scrap? A few look to be nearly rusted through...

Wheels?  If it is just steel with no rubber, bring them over and toss them into the scrap pile.
