Trying out the new quad bike adventure seat... Just her size.

Carry on my wayward puppy... (Concert lighting)

She's was napping on the golf cart while I tinkered in the garage...

Nice little trailer. Especially since you have a golf cart now to put on it. I picked one up last fall. Now that spring weather is here, it's like my life has changed. Haven't taken it with me anywhere, but just using it for trips around town. I live in a small town, and we can use them here if...

Decided it was time to fit the roof rack on. It will require adjusting because it came off a modern Jeep, and light mounting tabs welded on as well. The wife (teacher) had some high school kids over to weld the tabs on the front bar to the roof rack, and grill. I have 3 sets of Rigid pod lights...

Nice... Can't wait to get to the point in my build where I put the sniper system on my '80...

Then I got sidetracked, and decided to fix the front fenders where the spot welds were off on the back edges of both inner fenders. You can see from the boogers that my novice welding with my little old 110v flux core welder looks like Ray Charles did it with his feet, but I did manage to stick...

Since I started in on the wiring harness, I figured it was time to get the dash done. Still had some holes to drill for switches, mount the data plates for that military look, and figure out fan / heat controls & the defrost ducts. Still working on how to control the flappers for the heater, but...

It's Brandy's (who was born on an Easter Sunday) 9th birthday.

Then I decided to jump into the wiring harness. Just tired of looking at the box sitting there on the shelf I guess. Sure hope I don't run out of Amazon zip-ties... lol. Need a new grommet for the rear of the tub though Tried to use the firewall one Painless includes for the older model...

I've managed to get a few things done over the last week. I know, it seems to jump around like I'm working with out a plan. That's only because I'm not. I go out to the garage, and it's what can I do (or do I feel like doing) today? I managed to change over from the JY strikers to the CJ ones...

I'm gonna be needing a bit more to make this a user friendly vehicle as a daily driver for an old cripple, so I took a folding step and mounted it to the driver's side running board. It fold down, and pins in place for me to climb in, then up and out of the way when not needed. Normally these...

On tonight's instalment of build a CJ7 in your garage... we install the running boards. Wait... They don't make running boards for CJ7s, just body armor. Well, if you're a fat old retired cripple, you're gonna need a way to get up in the thing. Measure twice... cut (or drill) once. As you...
