Great to know! Thanks. I'm researching power steering options now (Astro/Safari Van steering box appears to have potential). On an unrelated note, what do you see here? I see replacement cab corners & sheet metal for my FC cab. Big thanks to my buddy Kyle for the scrap FC170 roof. The...

Thanks reece146.

I'd love to see that. I have searched several times, but haven't been able to find any photos of one of these actually installed in an FC.

Thanks shortbus4x4. I have perused the FC Connection site a lot (great info & photos there). As far as the front axle goes, I can have the front axle narrowed if I must (trying to avoid it). I have a local shop (www.rocksolidperformance.com) that I have worked very closely with in the past...

Continue to follow the build (with a new owner) on the FC170 Patina Rod Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FC170PatinaRod/ *** I'm layin' down a disclaimer right out of the gate. This will not be a quick build, so all of you fine "microwave society" citizens might not get the immediate...

Now listed on Craigslist for sale or trade. Located in Cedar Springs, Michigan (49319), but pick-up in Grand Rapids, Michigan is also an option. http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/bar/4138378680.html

I have decided to sell this trailer, as I sold my Jeep about a year ago, and need a smaller/lighter trailer to pull behind my Honda. I haven't figured out a price yet, but am interested in cash offers or potentially trades (a rust-free Jeep Cherokee project for my daughter, a good-running...

It was a bit of a tight fit for the front two (2) bolts. I left all bolts lose, tapped them in, then tightened them all down. All of these trailers I've seen seem to be tweaked just a bit in regards to alignment. I'm sure they were well-used during their active-duty lifespans. Craig

Hi Robert, I do still have the trailer (and use it regularly). It has mainly been used for basic "utility" and Jeep parts transport more so than camping. It does pull very well/straight. To get the tongue straight, I measured/marked the center point on the front of the bed, and used a long...

Jeff - There is no shortness of "awesome" in your projects. Nice work, as usual. Craig

All parts have been sold. Thanks. Craig

Small progress this weekend... I made some stake pocket mounts for some bicycle carriers I've had for 12+ years. The carriers are designed to carry either a single or tandem bicycle. For the stake pocket mounts, I started with 2" x 2" x 1/8" square tube, then trimmed them down to 2" x 1 3/8"...

Here's the other project...my 2005 Jeep LJ. It's the only new vehicle I have ever bought (I'm 40). Upgrades underway are an AEV Highline kit, Dana 60/Dana 70U axles, H2 wheels with 37" BFG KM2s, Currie Anti-Rock sway bars, AEV skid plates, etc. I'll be working on this one for a while...it all...

If it's photos you like, here are some of the other projects we have going on currently. My 11-year-old daughter Mira & I are building her a '93 Jeep XJ 2-door. She's paying for 1/2 of the build, and is doing much of the work. We have 95% of everything we need, and are into the whole project...

Thanks yeler. Much appreciated. My goal was to do a slow build with sensible upgrades. I feel like I have succeeded at both. :sombrero: Craig

Now with 2" rear receiver hitch. I may gusset it a little, but there really won't be any substantial weight on the rear. Craig

With the help of my daughter, Mira, I just wrapped up installing my LED side marker lights. :) Craig

I finally wrapped up the install of my tongue storage box. I initially ran into some issues with the Eastwood primer, as I started the work while it was still too cold (70-90 degrees is recommended). I wanted to test the Eastwood paint on a small project before using it on my daughter's XJ...

I took the day off today to take care of some errands, and work outside a bit. It was nice to work out in the sunshine. :victory: I started working on the tongue box, and a more permanent wiring solution for the trailer. I picked up a Pollak 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket to mount in...

62" WMS-to-WMS, plus 2" spacers on each side. I'm not sure about the spring perch measurement - they're at the stock width. I'm not sure about that. My first inclination is to say no, but I didn't try either. Craig
