hoverlover’s “there are many like it, but this one is mine” extra long title bs thread and build too

Had to upgrade my PPE... I was getting gassed out of my garage with the fans on and the door open!



Primer done, gonna start on the paint.

 

All thats missing is a white suit with biohazard logo. Make the neighbors real suspicious.

 

Hmmmmmmm... Where did that Tyvec suit go

 

First layer of black on. Hopefully the rise in humidity won't be enough to jack things up.

 

Knocked off after a coat on both sliders. I'll pick up tomorrow morning - hopefully the humidity will come down some.

 

Waiting for the last coat to dry...

 

​

 

Patience.

 

1:30... Too early to start drinking?

 

No

 

I like you

 

Never too early

 

You guys are my kind of people





Shouldn't be much longer. Hour maybe two and I'll start buttoning everything up.

 

Whats that sitting next to your truck in the driveway?

 

Das my built XJ



5.5" of full, linked, locked, long travel on 33x12.50's with 4.56's, a freshly overhauled transmission, t-case, diffs, driveshafts, and chromoly axle shafts.

 

Aww hell.. looks like a wheeling machine!

 

She's been known to go places. Currently she's queen of the garage. I can't bring myself to sell her. I take her out every now and then but I haven't wheeled her since I came back to TX from AZ.

You do know I'm a recovering Jeep addict right?

2005 6spd Rubicon - 5" long travel on 35's


'79 CJ-7 With a 304 V8 on 35's

I pulled that one out of a junkyard when I was 14 and rebuilt it from the frame up. Painted it myself in my dad's garage when I was 15. He taught me everything I know. Drove it until I was 18 and was sick of working on it to keep it running and bought the Rubicon. Paid half of it in cash - freaked out the dealer lol

 

I do believe weve discussed this

nice rigs, i like that 79 alot.. jeeps are some of the only vehicles these days that are still offered with a manual.. whats not to love about them, besides the lacking reliability?

 

Lol

Thanks, I loved that '79 and have always regretted selling it. Same can be said about my Rubicon. Don't see many CJ's around anymore. But it was getting to the point where every hour in it cost me an hour under it. Same can be said about my Rubicon...
