We spent a couple weeks in San Antonio over Xmas and they're all over the place. I've seen more dead deer on the sides of the roads in Texas than anywhere else.

Looks like I was hunting in the wrong place.

West Texas is loaded with deer. There are a lot of stiff ones on the side also

Got a few more minutes in today, flipped the stupid shims around and got my huge 5/8 u bolts installed as well. Also got my new lug nuts in, finally have a set of matching lug nuts that fit in the wheels good

Jeez,
Come to the end of my reading fix already, but building on the sofa makes them sofaking nice and gives them lots of class! (big smiley, (guess I can't do the smiley's yet))
Love the way you just rattle off parts and fabrications like there's no tomorrow Gert.
I'm Dutch by the way (we're just like lice, you can't get rid of us!)
Been snorting up the thread with a straw and just ran out,... bummer.
Cheers.

Sweet glad to hear another Dutchmen is here, I’m hoping to get some more work in this afternoon, I need to finish my track bar install, finish routing/welding the drivers side exhaust cross over pipe to the passenger side and finish hooking up the steering column again so I can see how she will drive.

One of the things I love the most is hot ridding and fabricating..... I’m already thinking about my 71 Dodge Dart being in my garage for its restoration , gathering up my 4 speed components and metal for the rotisserie I’m going to build


To be able to do the smileys you have to switch to the insecure? Version of the site..... I use Tapatalk the most now and don’t get to use them, I used to use the beer chug all the time I love that one

 

[gert]

Happy face oh happy face, I got my track bar finish welded and bolted in done.... got a chipped tooth in the process but I’m still happy
I got the just get me running and to the trail exhaust cross over done, one day I will go to the exhaust shop and get a real exhaust again but this is going to have to do for now......
I also got a bunch of tools put up and cleaned on the garage a bit

Strategically staging a broom next to a pile of behind your Jeep is not actually cleaning... just sayin'...

 

[Ultrunner]

Gert, looking through your build photos, as I’m jealous your progress is much further along than mine, did you covert your rear axle to disc brakes?

Also, what size tires are you running?

He had to have done some cleaning. When I was there I don't remember that you could walk by the drivers side of his rig.
