Congrats on the Winch Dogg! And the rest is looking real good. Though, you should be careful with it. I think if you ever have to rescue yourself, the fabric of the universe might rip open....

Awesome. Now he can winch himself onto the trailer as opposed to being winched onto the trailer. Well shit... good thing Scottie still has the FleMJ... Otherwise I would have put a winch on my trailer for nothing. Congrats man!!

So Im sitting in the garage last nite look'n @ mt new winch and the Jeep's. A couple friends stop over and after looking @ my winch talk'n about I got over excited,,,,,,and made a mess on the floor Hate when that happen's( excited dogg urination is embareseing),,,, Anywayyyyyyyyy, took the stock front bumper off the new jeep and sat the winch and new bumper in front of the jeep ;D Look's good, cant wait to bolt it on today. Also aquired a third set of jack stand's, thanks for the loan jan, and ken on the second set, now I can continue the rear end swap. Goal is to have bumper and winch mounted and have new rear end under it by weekend. After 2 electrical job's and a trip to the bank in sackville. Bussy Dogg.

Been a busy weekend. Got the rear out of the old Jeep and under my new one ;D Broke a shock bolt, so decided to relocate shock's, which led to me nicking both brake lines with the grinder,,, Jan came to the rescue sunday afternoon with new bushing's for my leaf's,thanks man,, By supper time Sunday I had the rear end in,shock mounts cut off, including nicked brake lines,,,, leaf bolts in and my 31's on it ;D ;D Grabbed the bumper off of Ol'Blue and bolted i t onto the new Jeep, looks good,,,but look's even beter with my winch sitting on it ;D Wired an in cab controll for the winch and assembled as much as I could, need a fair lead? the roller thing for the cabel, and a hook. Now a problem, with the winch on front the wheel well is @ 36 1/2", and the rear is sitting @ 39. Not sure if I will lower the rear or raise the front, mayybe get a set of 4" lift spring's with my 2" spacer's I donno. Going to wait untill it's loaded with all bumper's abd gear and see where I sit. Geting down to the short list now, and more excited everyday. Da Dogg

Ran a brake line down to the rear axel and got it attached to the flex line ;D Getting the old fitting out of the flex line was a bit of a hassel, pentrateing fluid, wire wheel, than more pentrating fluid, than vise grips and adjustable Rerouted the winch wire's, and looked @ how I'm going to cut the fender's. Disconnected the fuel line on the old Ckerokee and started draining the tank. Whipper dropped by and distracted me for a bit(thank's for the tea man), and I was lazy ohhh and I made a list of what's left to do on the new Cherokee ;D Wish I didnt have to work for a living and could focous on finshing this fulltime.
