I stand with UNIONS.Been cleaning the engine bay/frame this weekend while my engine is at the machine shop.
Good news/ bad news: I’ll have more time to spend working on TJ because we go on strike Monday. Ugh

We could be on strike or locked out on the 23rd. Our contract was up April 1st, and so far negotiations haven't gone too well for us.Been cleaning the engine bay/frame this weekend while my engine is at the machine shop.

Took it off-road.
Mild trail from yucca valley to big Bear.
Took and passed my ham technician license
it was really dry, only one big puddle, but i got to do the whole day with no doors on which was really nice.That's a good one, took some buddies in a Tundra and Sequoia through there after the recent thunderstorms. It was fun to play in the mud. Was it dry when you were there? I think if might be fun in the snow. We also did Holcomb Valley road which is just a few miles from the top of Burns Canyon, also a graded road. You don't even have to air up to get there (if you aired down) and it's a great little spur especially if you are heading west out of Big Bear.
How much do you charge for a set? Ha ha. Once my Jeep is running again, making new straps is going to be high on the list.Made door straps today. Didn't want the doors to swing open as wide as with the stock straps. I used some military type webbing that I had laying around. Couple of hours of sewing, and I am happy with how they turned out.
What brand are those?Installed new adjustable control arms up front
So is that axle truss your design?Savvy body lift was delivered yesterday so I put it on today. Probably one of the easier mods I've done so far. A few bolts gave me a bit of a fight, but once I got the big breaker bar out they gave in and none snapped luckily!

I wish I could take credit for that. That's a Barnes 4x4 8.8 TJ kit. Just getting it mocked up and hoping to get it burned into place in the next couple weeks. I'm leaving town Friday and was reallllllly hoping to have my build compete by then, but it's looking like my completion date is still 2-3 weeks out.So is that axle truss your design?

It was between this and the Artec truss. From what I could tell they were a lot alike (besides price, the Barnes was about $120 cheaper) but had a hard time finding anyone that had used the Barnes and no reviews on their page. But after find a couple forum guys that had used it and recommended it. I mocked most of it up last week just to see how it all pieced together and it's pretty straight forward. I might even do a how-to thread on it, but don't know if it's even necessary because it all puzzle pieces together.That's a nice looking truss.
