started some of the strip down and cleaning (still) of Jeep 2. i'm so glad I've kept alot of what I took off Jeep 1 as it is going to come in handy as I clean this on up and get it ready to sell. I'll be swapping the axles in and also having to do some serious refinishing to the skyjacker lift as it has rusted badly over the years. may just swap out the Zone 4" in Jeep 1 while taking the axles out and then putting a long arm in it as I rebuild that one. Jeep 2 will be getting a repaint in its original black color. I plan on buying the following to fix up.
new black soft top tinted windows $230
new black carpet $170
Hood $150
Tailgate $100
Grille $150
Paint & body work $100
Then when I got home I had this waiting on me.
Think I'll use the crap hood from the jeep to build a welding table and use the bent tailgate to practice on.

Yesterday I moved around the jeeps in the shop to better situate the v8 build out of the way and to do the axle swap needed for jeep2. Still can't believe I bought a second jeep while the my first one is still in pieces
So then today after work I stuck around to get some axle swap going. Had to ask myself what have I done a few times. The rear axle on the 2nd jeep wasn't budging and the air hose blew out. So onto the easier jeep, much easier considering I had just put the lift in 8 months ago and the bolts would come out no problem. It went smooth as expected but the e-brake was a p.i.t.a. but eventually I won and out it came. Now to do the front and get the two out of jeep2.
Slowly but surely I'm making progress
