Well if I buy a SPAS 12 the job is already done. Hehe. This is the go-to shotgun for games and movies because it's just plain bad ass.

Thanks! I forgot to mention that some of the steering links i replaced the old ones with were for other vehicles to replace the hollow tie rod with a larger diameter solid one. I just have fun tinkering with stuff, my next small project is duracoating my AR-15.

She lets me buy all the guns I want though, as long as the bills are paid. Besides after she graduates I get to start the fun of building it all over again, except it'll come out of her paychecks, hehe, and the base Jeep will be newer and the lift nicer. I'm buying a Savage 10FP soon, then...

Mileage isn't a problem now, but when i'm pinching pennies to support both of us while she finishes her degree, 15-19 mpg will suddenly seem much worse than before. If I keep the Jeep it'll probably be parked semi-permanently after moving, we'll just share her Toyota Camry. ;(

I only want about $3000 now that it's got new axles under it. It can fit 33" tires easily right now and have the proper gearing for them, but I only have 31's. If anyone seriously wants to buy it (which I'm not 100% on selling it yet) I'll give them a list of pro's and cons and what parts have...

Flexing in the fall, the swaybar is connected, so the front don't flex really at all in these, and if it was disconnected it would drive higher up the hill wile staying leveler: These make the ground look deceptively flat, the whole trail is as a decent angle and the right front tire is about...

A small visual amount, but plenty of work. Over the summer it got 2 new(used) axles, new control arms off a Grand Cherokee narrowed to fit, and new beefier lower control arm mounts welded onto the front axle. Also a new Harbor Freight air horn. I'll see if I can get some pictures tomorrow. Also...

Got one, though they are kind of crappily made. Trying to rube the bubbles out will rub off the orange. I'm going to email valve and ask for a new one, because I paid $20 after shipping for this sticker and it's unacceptable that simply applying it messes it up. I also took a fusebox from a...

1) I'm currently wiring up an fuse box from a junkyard car to run all my relays and fuses for lights and switches. 2)Roof rack, with shovel, axe, and crowbar. 3)Brush guard, and run cables from the corner of the brush guard to the roof rack as limb risers.

Skidplate and trailer hitch painted, and the parking pass came in the mail.

Here are some semi-action shots. You can see the skidplate thats half finished and unpainted on the front and the reverse lights that were a byproduct of an entire day of rewiring stuff to the back of the jeep.

I thought about the licence plate, but it's about $80 a year extra.

Its a work in progress, so I'm not opposed to moving logos around. More paint just means it's harder to scratch through when I take it offroad.

HAHA! Also, I got an automated reply from Gabe Newell saying he is out of the office until the 29th.

Well if you don't mind a little elbow grease it's not too hard to build something like this. I have about $2,000 invested including the purchase price of the car and all the regular parts I had to replace. ball joints & u-joints on the front axle: $150 in parts. brakes: $150 in parts New coil...
