Nice Jeep!!!
Its impossible to text and drive if he doesn't have a phone! Just sayin'...
I remember asking permission to call someone. And being told no.
Both pictures
Pervert. Of all people to say something. If your dog looked like John you would shave its butt and make it walk backwards.
I knew it @AndyG! Your picture confirmed my suspicions.

I just had a vision of Boog’s next scary avatar pic…
I think red and yellow are the 2 best colors for TJs.
Also, I see that your son's is bigger than yours.
I took my TJ to a transmission shop and got the shift shaft seal replaced. It cost me $245 which isn't too bad. I replaced that seal in January myself, and it started leaking again in April. So, time to take it to the pros to do it right.
I'd pay that all day to replace it. That's a good price IMO.
Compound, polish, and wax. With a beach visit after. Little TLC makes an impact (orange).
Yeah, I downplayed it, but I was quite happy with that price.
Affirm Impact Orange. Bright sunlight it pops orange. Overcast or low light makes it look red. More so now that it’s been paint corrected.
How are you addressing painting or metal protection inside the frame? What about where the parts come together?
I'm always curious on how fabricators protect that internal raw metal where paint can't reach (sandwich sections in particular) but the air & moisture will reach over time.
This is that moment as a father where you have to realize your son ('s Jeep) is getting better than you (rs) and you don't get intimidated. Don't let your bigger son use his (Jeep's) size to his advantage.
You're still the father in this situation. You still know best to shape his life forward (on the trail).
Looking great! I'm slowly working through the same paint work. Hoping I get that level of shine! Great job!

I have a phone and still can't text and drive.
While the frame was open I needle scaled the inside to “smooth” and brush applied Zero Rust
Zero Rust 62SP Black Rust Inhibitive Coating 12oz Aerosol

Problem I have is when welding the sections to the old frame I’m sure the interior paint is being burnt away.
After this is done I’ll probably maintain it with some sort of oil product.
Unfortunately i didn’t photograph the inside when prepped but i will on the passenger side.
This is a fun project but in the end next time I’ll spend more and buy a rust free Jeep

Purchased a new upgraded Tom Woods front driveshaft.
Leaving for a 3 week trip to the Philippines this Sunday; so upgrading the driveshaft will need to wait until I return.

Drove it to the nightly bonfire my boys light up beside my house
The white dog is Bert, part of a pair - the other one is Ernie.
Might just be me but I think the fire light makes your tire look like it's made of red velvet cake...
