remember were talking hydrulic pumps here so you don't need alot of hp to put alot power to the ground.

Agreed. That is a hell of a nice tool!

OK after careful consideration I figured it would take me about a year to finish a buggy with my work schedule and it may be much more cost effective to go with the Juggy idea. So back to Juggy as previously planned. That will allow me to finish it in short order, have time to meet safety requirements and get some seat time in before the races. To Do list has been updated.

We're in, was wondering how you were gonna get all that done in 3 months. Missing a shovel, thought it might be there? Joe, cleaning out the basement and found 3 spray paint cans waiting for your next bonfire.

Great, the more people there the better. I'll have a look around for the shovel. If we hired a new PT in Hagerstown it would free up a lot of time and I would work just 3 days a week again. Then I would have time but for now it seems Juggy is the best way to go.

Kim, do you know what this man is capable of?!?! Once his mind and time are dedicated to this project, sit back and enjoy the show

capable of quick mass destruction. that includes a perfectly good CJ that i really shouldn't tear apart and should just drive and enjoy the season. BUT I"M NOT. so on with the show!

Kim, I do have your shovel. My 203 range box came in today, box weighed in at 100#.

Hey would you all have extra room for one more jeep. My full hydro steering came in today and I would like to get it installed.

bring it up, we'll find room. I need to learn how to do that anyway.

Cool this will be a big help to get this out of the way. i'll bring my tools and welder with me so everybody has access to tools while working. Also I'll bring a bunch of scrap steel with me for making various brackets and stuff seeing that you have a plasma there Bill.

yep got the plasma and got a 220 welder. need to fill the tank for the furnace though, ran out of oil

Kinda sorry to see the TJ go but can't wait to see how the new rig goes together. Mine should get under way in January. Will bring food and treats.

definitely post the progression once it's started.

looks like i have two more things to add to that list

Thank you bill for helping mandy.

ORD chevy to ford doubler kit and shifter has been ordered. They said it would be here in time for the work party.

If you guys lived a little closer i would we'd have the work party at my shop

Still might have to do that in the spring.

Yeah the same weekend that mike has his mud bog.

Hey Bill,
I may be able to head out to your place on Saturday, but it would be with the whole fam (Karen & Neve). Is that ok with you guys?
My fingernails are all clean which means its been way too long since I've done any good wrenchin'.

we would LOVE to have the whole family up here. We look forward to finally seeing the baby. Please come, it would be nice to see everyone again. once a year at JOTB isn't enough.

X2 haven't seen you in so long.

Sounds like this my be a good long day trip.

I will have to look at the weather and talk to the guys maybe we could load up the super-duty and come down for the day to help out and of course for the entertainment!!

Bill could you pm me your address so I could look at it and add it to my GPS thanks

looks like the day time high will be 20 or so I can bring some pallets but we'll need some more.

I worked on the jeep all day sat. i didn't relize how cold it was till i went to pick up the welder and take it inside and found out it had frozen to the ground.

pm sent. yes more wood please! don't worry I'll call the emergency response number and warn them ahead of time. so far looks like Jay and kim, Joe and Mandy, Erik and Emily Nester, Nick, Matt, possibly chuck, possibly von and Kat. others?
