Tim had to weld in 3 patch panels where rust had eaten thru. got the body back onto the frame. new aluminum valve cover on motor. lined the bottom of body with 2 coats of bedliner. interior got 3 coats. 5 coats in the front where there will be higher traffic. started putting vents back in. have to find proper blower motor to fit. all the ones that are at the auto stores are not the right ones. luckily its starting to look like a jeep again.

well there has been a lack of real progress on the jeep as of late since i got a new job and new house. as you can see we have gotten some more things mounted and added the dual stick kit to the Dana 300 transfer case. had to remove a small chunk of floor to make it fit proper. also things have gotten cleaned up a bit. will be able to drive it this summer looks like.
