It was 2 am when I finally got to bed. Then I was up at 8 am already. I have visions of Jeep parts running thru my head.
Today will be spent cleaning and organizing the garage. Then I'll start pricing all the parts on my "build sheet" and organize them accordingly

Me too!!! If all goes well I'll host the Jeep-Cj.com run next year at Rausch Creek. Id also like to make one longer distance trip and those pics you posted were looking awfully inviting.

First of all, I started this thread at 0630 this morning, and just finished...
Excellent writing skills - you know how to tell a story!! (If you're ever interested, read the story of Grindel the VW bus, and Robert S. Hoover's exploits getting it home. Fantastic read...Robert S. Hoover)
Love the fact that the CJ7 is the one you kept, because it had a personal attachment.
If you are thinking bedliners, there is only 1 solution - MONSTALINER. Multiple colors (don't show your daughters the yellow!)
I bought some for my C101 Jeepster Commando, and he made it in OD Green. Monstaliner do-it-yourself roll-on truck bed liner outperforms Herculiner Bed Liner, Duplicolor and Rustoleum Road Warrior
I did three months of research on different bedliners, and this was the one that was by far the best.
Durabak will fade, as it is NOT colorfast like Monsta. Monsta is cheaper, too.
Anyway - good luck, and I'm subscribed!

Well theres 2 hours of your life I bet you wish you had back. Sorry I cannot do refunds. Thanks for the very kind words. Im glad you enjoyed it.
The Monstaliner link was great and I ordered up a few different paint chips. You mustve read the whole thread cause Im definately looking for something that wont fade. One was a bit yellow but it was more curiosity than anything.
Look for some things to start happening with this thread soon. Im in the process of ordering some parts this weekend.

Well all Ive ordered so far are the floor pans over the weekend and the boatsides a few minutes ago. I went with the ones from Daves cause I wont have to cut them down like the ones on Pirate. If needed I'll have my brother weld a plate on the firewall area.
From what I read on your motor I think it will be well worth the wait.

Well none of my parts have showed up yet. Of course everything I ordered for the tub is coming from the west coast so I shouldve known. Im off to pick up the MTRs now.
You have to post up some pics when you get the motor back from the machine shop. Gotta check out your thread now.

Pete - isn't it amazing that when you live in the East everything you need has to come from the West Coast and when you live in the West everything comes from the East.
Jeep's looking good though
