What's everyone doing? Seems like the traffic has been down lately. I'm definitely guilty as a result of studying for my master's exam. I'm back now until essay writing time at the end of the semester.
What are you working on now?

I am working on making it to Friday afternoon! That is about all that I have time to do these days. In my spare time I am working on becoming a little over a 1/4 milion dollars in debt. I am buying some property in Kemper county. It takes a lot of time figuring out how to not lose your hat.
As far as mechanically speaking, one of my next ventures is rear steer in the buggy and a 203/205 doubler.

I'll echo that...Friday means the beginning of fall break, and I want to go riding.
Sounds cool Rob...well at least mechanically. It's not cool that you will go in debt.

We've been busy at work, too. Working long hours and weekends. I have my axles, ring & pinions, and lockers ready to install. I need to order new cross shafts for the lockers since the "deal" ones I got didn't include them.
I'm wanting to try out the Barnyard in Fulton sometime in the near future, too.
Later
Todd

I also have been busy with school, and trying to find a job for May. I also have been cutting firewood on weekends. The firewood is for a party we have every fall semester. Big bonfire! As far as my jeep I am working on the engine. I just got my rod bolt streach guage in the other day, so now I can get the bottom end finished.

I've been at my job now for 4 weeks at Taylor Machine Works. I love not having any HW to do at night, even though the days get long.
I need to post up some pictures of the axles they got around here. They make rockwells look like toys.
Craig- you around Starkville? I need to get a bill or sale from you before time gets away. I want to not have trouble at the DMV one day when the thing is street legal...
Is Rob moving? Are you going to turn the property into a 4wd park?
Time to get back to work...
Later.

Is Rob moving? Are you going to turn the property into a 4wd park? -RC No I am not moving. It is family land that we have been managing for years and the cousins are wanting out. The land actually has a huge mountain and even boulders as big as cars. I have entertained the thought of a place to ride, but I am not sure that I want to open it up to all of the erosion that could occur in an offroad park. I am going to watch the new place in Fulton to see how it fairs. However, I have no problems with the GTJC getting together to do a little riding. The first thing I am going to do is recover some of the timber to help pay for the land and establish some good trails. |

Congrats on the land purchase, Rob. And my prayers are with you. I have found that dealing with family on most anything can wear on your patience,
Well since we have had so much dry weather I have been extremely busy. I am running about 3 weeks behind on my work projects . Thankfully we have a good enough reputation that the people have been OK with waiting,
We have also had soccer 5 and 6 days or nights a week (thats over for a little while now) .
I brought home one of my projects Sunday afternoon. The Dodge 2500 4x4 .Its going to take a little work but not a whole lot.
I am still on my Quest for the Holy Cheap Jeep , though .

I have been busy with work, Hayden, working on the house, etc. I haven't touched the Jeep in about 2 months. I have been slowly gathering parts to get it put back together bigger and better one day soon. I have just about all the big pieces (motor, axles, tcases, transmission, wheels) I just need some time to build the suspension. I am trying to keep myself talked out of putting all those parts into this:  |

I think that's his neighbor's buggy. I remember seeing those pictures a long time ago of it. I think the guy bought it from some company that used to take it to rock crawling competitions. I think brad had a thread about it on here. Check the projects section...
