Update 8/9/2021 Over the past few days, we've been finalizing our inventory. We actually keep an Evernote with everything we carry. So not only do we know what we have, but where specifically in the vehicle it is located. I noticed our airbags were flat and we had to get that fixed. Busted an...

Well it is time for another update. I really do these more for me than anyone else so I can look back and reflect on my own thoughts. It's kind of like letting others peer into my mind, and transparently I'm ok with that. It is all part of the journey. Tomorrow July 27, 2021 Brittany and I are...

Now at shop 4 of 4 in Austin, Texas. Just Jeeps is the last major portion of our build out. We have been here 5 days, we hope to be done in the next 3. Then it is shakedown time.

Update Sunday July 18, 2021: As always, it seems that there are setbacks. The crew at Just Jeeps flew through all of the regular stuff (lift, wheels, tires, diff covers, springs, air bags, etc) However, once we started with the smaller stuff the pace slowed down a little. This is no reflection...

One piece at a time… Today is day 4 at Just Jeeps in Austin, Texas and DAUNTLESS is growing up just a bit. Nothing huge, just enough to keep the tires sourced globally as much as we can and still give us the ride and traction we need. But check out them wheels tho. (We are running the BFG KO2...
