Progress from today…

Worked a little on the crawler again today.

Getting rid of those shackle boxes is a pain in the ass

Cut up my old bumper and wedged it almost into place for a test fit

Bye bye tire carrier…

Fun with the Plasma Cutter

Started today by cutting out the stock rear crossmember.

Cleaned up the end of the framerails

….and started plating the rear framerails

Dropped Tank

Got that gas tank out of there so I can do a lot of cutting and welding in the area. Also so I can move it higher 😉

Sucks that I spilled a bunch of gas on me, but oh well….

Rear axle is also gone for now. Hope to start cutting by the end of the week 🙂

Project: ‘Intrepid Crawler’ Begins

Well, it’s time to start the fifth phase of my 1992 XJ, as it continues to evolve into a more capable rock crawler. It’s been sitting for way too long in my garage without much attention while I got my 2000 XJ built up.

My goal is to have it ready sometime early next year to hit the trails again….hopefully in time for WinterFest 2008, if not sooner. I just received my first batch of steel, so I am already on my way…

I’m not going to go into details on what I have planned yet, so you will just have to watch and see 😉
