Friday night wrenching

[jfz80]

making room

(notice the airbox inside fender that im sure does wonders for air flow)
striking a perfectly good fender w/ a punch

the toughest mod to mentally prepare for so far

definately took a few of these

always nice to have a perfectionist on hand. ( i secretly hired him for his skinny arms but he trumped me with the multiple back surgery card when he saw the position necessary ) see figure #*@?

figure#*@?

admiring the destruction of my fender

more holes !!!

rubber nutserts like i used for roof rack removal

i hear you dont want to hit whats behind the third hole and i was using longer Stainless Steel hardware 2/3 if fine for me

gotta love this within reach, thanks pops!

finished up just under $ 500 if you count the speeding ticket this am to go get the right hardware

note the antennae routing thanks to some at target that decided to break it

I have GOT to get me one of these garage things.....

and finished up heading home with the helper

whoevers next i got a set of printed instructions (from mud and much better than safari's) and a hole saw bit to lend.


and thanks to Emma for hooking me up with the snorkle

Oh my God, a Land Cruiser is eating someone in one of those pictures, kinda like Jaws! Cool, love snorkles, that 3" hole ya gotta drill is a bit of a puckerer from what I hear...

Ouch!!! I once went to a cruiser meeting/wrenching in TN with 2 guys doing snorkles on their 80's. The ring leader of this whole shebang had one on his already, and he WOULD NOT DRILL THE HOLE, the owner had to do it themselves. Well they got the template put up on the most nervous dudes truck, and he got the pilot in and as soon as the hole saw hit the paint, the guy with experience shouts, noooo it's in the wrong place!!!! I saw the pale drop over the guy's face and he turned and after some expletaves the experienced one told him he was kidding, and we went on with life, but that was hillarious......I gotta get the 40 not about to fall apart before I add bling to the 80.....But when I decide to do it, i'll get you and those long arms to help

thats the thing about BOB's Garage. So nice you feel bad wearing shoes, on the other hand, so nice you dont even need em. (Dad had a particularly hard time watching me drill the fender)

Whos JP
