Jeep in the Bump Den

Today we pulled in the neighbors Jeep and gave it a lift.  Now there is nothing like working on iconic american steel and this was my first experience with a late model Jeep.  The 2005 version of the WWII classic has been infested with the influence of the east.  The combination of metric and standard bolt sizes was pure insanity.  It challenged my tool collection.  

We raised the front 1.5 inches and the back .75 inches, replaced the brakes and shocks.  I was surprised how well it changed the stance.

After the Jeep, Doug and I didn't stop there.  We got to work installing the apron gaskets on the Ford front end.  The staples aren't fun to install but it can be done effectively with a small drill bit.  We then set the front end on the frame and now it is starting to look like a truck.  

Though out the weekday mornings I have been working on the gas tank.  It is complete now and should work pretty good.
