Day 24: Testing the Weld
Today I’m back out in the garage with a few house keeping items to attend to (pun intended). The biggest question we need to answer is “Will the welded captured nut actually hold?”. Let’s find out.
Day 23: YJ Project Update
It’s been a long time since I made progress on my 1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ project, but I’m back out in the shop finally thanks to COVID-19 quarantine. Since it has been a while I thought I’d share a quick update on where we stand and what’s left to do (and there are lots). Apologies…
Day 22: I love Swag
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Now that the new site is live and complete with color scheme and flashy logo I decided to head on over to my favorite custom novelty shop and order up some new Sweatshirts, T-Shirts, stickers, and even a new iPhone case. I really like the new look. I love novelty type items…

Day 17: First Exterior Patch Complete
After a long hard day of welding, grinding, refitting, cutting, more welding, and more grinding I have successfully finished my first exterior patch. This patch I started earlier this week and it took a loooonnnngggg time to get the panels fitted in just right. I had to patch the floor and the exterior rocker panel…
