I am working on a CJ5

I was told I was a little biased around here. Well here is proof that I will work on things other than chevs and toyotas.

At least aslong as they will have chev and toyota parts on them then its OK! Haha

First one is the frame after blasting.

Second two are frame cracks in the front on both sides.

Next two are of the sweet frame rotater thingy I whipped up to roll it around and work on it with.

I decided that boxing and strapping the frame would still leave it a pile of **** and be too much work for the outcome.

So I just built a new one out of 2x4 boxtube. Much more ridgid.:awesomework:

The tub is actually pretty good for an old bucket.

I had to remove the diamond plate that was in the way. That **** is the devil. This dirt was just waiting to turn into rust.
