Lil Earl Rebuild

[crzylee]

Most of you know the story behind Lil Earl's latest injury.  Finally got several weak spots in the frame patched and a new stretch bumper made and rear springs installed.  Still a ways away from being healed but its progress.  Not going to post all my pictures (time consuming) but you can mozy over to CMSJA.org and find my rebuild thread in the Jeep Tech section.


Here are some highlight pics...

And a little history here too..  Shortly after I bought the Jeep..

Looks like one helluva project.....wish I was comfortable enough, mechanically speaking, to take on somethin like that. I'm ready to see Lil Earl back on the trails!

Dewey, that's why you learn on something you don't have to drive everyday.

One day, when I'm a baller like y'all, maybe ill have an extra vehicle. Til then, it sure is good to have friends that have that kind of know-how.

Motor is all back together now.  Going to try and get it stabbed this weekend.  Still got a little way to go before he starts breathing fire but MUCH closer.
