I know! but my back yard is big and leads into woods, which of course is where he went. AND he's a damn beagle so he likes to bury stuff I was looking for about 3 hours and the worst part was he was following me around helping me, but staying at least arms distance away

Damnit! Got a large, powerful magnet or access to one? That would improve the chances greatly. Perhaps a metal detector?

I have a cheap ass metal detector from Harbor Freight and tried that, but the magnet.......that may be worth looking into, I have a metric shit ton of rare earth magnets.....maybe if I put them all together. But then again, with my wedding in a week and a half if she sees me in the back yard hunting for "toy parts" as she calls them, she may kill me

Let the neighborhood kids know there's a bounty to be claimed. They'll do the work for you. Get them a speaker magnet to drag around

Got some more done to it. Broke my dang tap, now I have to wait till the hardware store gets it in, so I can finish these tabs for the skins...

Front bumper/winch mount are built

CMS/ panhard are built

Most of the tabs are on

Still have some gusseting to do under the bumper rails. Something to tie the old rails into the new ones and make them flow together. I was going to do a double shear panhard mount, but decided a beefy single shear should do the trick, and allow for more tuneability in the panhard location.

On with the pictures!!

I am glad you like it! I always get a little nervous when someone gives me creative reign over the build, and trusts my opinion and styling. Thanks man. I am having a good time building this.

I can't wait to see what you do to this thing either. I think I decifer babbling ideas so well, because that is how my mind works. Its all scrambled up in there, but give me some steel and a welder, and I can make it happen

Thanks Mark. Yep, he kept telling me to look away, or go in the house for something, so he could run off with it. Soon, you will have yours...soon

I wasn't very nice to either one of those, too. They can take a beating pretty good. When that servo locked up on me at the Rubicon, I got irritated, and the JK ended up doing full throttle hail mary jumps off of shit, at whatever angle the steering was pointing...

My brother saved it's life. I was gunning to put it in it's grave there

I think you need a third
