I think butt hurt is the better term  and if he keeps up his BS (because he has been a problem since joining) he is going to win himself an all exclusive trip to see the band of his dreams  Details are really coming out in this on Stu. Love the red neck over flow, and the steering shaft with rag joint | |

Thanks Mike, glad to see you're on the job Got a little more done. Old Mercedes battery (check out the date code):  CA fogging makes a good corrosion crust.  Tucked under the bed for a nice low CG  Is that positive lead gonna spark on the tool box? No wonder I keep blowing alternators. This one's been bugging me for a while. If that vacuum-secondary pot is going to be top and center, it needs to look more like a vacuum pot and less like a model car axle:  Looks better now. |

It's definitely coming out Sunday; you know how I like to show off With no winch it's going to have a tough time with the tiny tires. Should be a good time. |

Dude seriously this thing is amazing. If I ever get a quarter as good as you I'll be happy. It's so much harder to make something look beaten and battered than shiny and new. I thought you out did yourself with that needle nose 13 letter sh!t spreader LOL! Good work man can't wait to see what you do with the swampers and 1.55's. Oh and is you find a Japansie Jeep I'm sure it will be the greatest japansie Jeep ever  |

Not sure how I missed all of this stu, but looks like you are outdoing yourself this time. The mechanical details are great. |

Thanks Andy, you know I love the details.   Willy's bumpin' now  Can't have a bashed-in fender without a broken sidemarker:  And of course a cracked mirror.  |

More:  Gotta have a 1.55 spare  Looking at the battery & fuel system, Willy is definitely going to need this  Not even the underside of the hood is safe from the detailing. |

Thanks for that. Means a lot coming from the guy who built Clampy Got a little more done:  Taillights  Reverse light  Headlights  Remind me next time to put the lights in BEFORE the body goes on for good What a PITA.Redneck internet   Overall shot of the bed  and the cab. God this thing looks goofy with the small tires. NOSTR is running a Small Tire Challenge tomorrow, and the big 'uns haven't gotten here yet. |

Extra points if you chuck a tire A couple last-minute details:  Swiveling spotlight fills the antenna hole in the roof.  Homemade wipers with winter blades. |

I know it Every time I think, okay this is enough I think of something else to do to it.Like a new light bar:  with one busted light  And a Hi-Lift in the back  Not much else to do til the wheels & tires arrive. Wait, maybe......  |
