To Do list...

In the works of making a cargo carrier for the rear 2" receiver. Shooting up from the receiver in the bumper to 45 degrees for a foot and a half, to avoid scraping on road surfaces, i.e., nasty decline coming out of gas station or to the trail/camp. Of course the "basket" is in the works but thinking of using BBQ mesh (thick kind), for bottom, and some 3/4" by 1/2" tube for outside including the upper supports.

Just finished making a 4 fishing pole holder that fits in place of my front license plate brackett directly in the 2" front receiver. Works great for 4 poles minus 1 pole with fishing net for driving or fishing. :)

Finished up on some tang welding for my 5 gallon blitz tank on the outside of my upper cargo carrier. (garvin) Rattled to much. Didn't want to spend the money for the gravin can holders.

For now, if I do anymore, I will probably have to live in my jeep. Least my wife thinks so. I guess that probably wouldn't be too much torture. I live in the jeep on the weekends, just trying making it roomier (is that a word?). :)

Take care and cheers,

Oh yeah, this is on a 05 rubicon. My Dad is the welder. I just turn bolts. :)

Pretty easy shit. Right now, I have to remove the rear diff cover and pull the right axle shaft so I can grind off the back of a stripped stud to get the flat tire off my Wrangler. My kidlet had a flat whilst borrowing my jeep and whoever had the wheel off to fix it so I wouldn't know cross threaded a stud putting it back on.

*sounds loke FUN!* What's on your list?

Carl

My to-do list at the moment: Wait for hubs to get enough time to get started on my bumper/winch mount. Help him as much as I can. Figure out where to mount an auxillary battery for above winch.

Get ol Ajax into the shop to get his grille painted, that will be in the works tomorrow.

After that, I have to start saving for Christmas... hmm.. maybe I should make up my Christmas wish list!

Kate,

I have heard of guys turning the battery sideways and installing two optima's. The optima's are great b/c you can mount them sideways or upside down and they are much more resitant to shock then a traditional battery.

How's the house project coming?

Carl

Well, quite a few things:

1) fix electrical delayed start problem 2) replace lower bearing on steering shaft 3) fix rust holes in floor 6) fab rock sliders from 4x4 angle iron 7) convert gas tank to 20 gallons 8) and the things that will be on hold till next summer: lift, SYE and CV DS.

The Jeep project never ends!

The house is coning along.. I am about sick to death of it and the projects seem to take longer and longer.

Only a couple of finishing up touch things to doand then I'm quitting for a few years. I'm ready to spend my money ND my time doing something a lot more fun.
