Rattle snake Canyon (from JV) and Tip Top mountain (side quest) are two more trails to make the trip interesting.

I will be working on cleaning it up. But how it is set up is still up in the air. @badlinesgoodtimes do you want full packout look or setup for camp without the extra crates (kitchen box, food crate, fluids crate)?

I like how AI said, "Not even I can fix the body damage".

From another forum but cool enough to share. Put a picture of your rig and this prompt into AI and see what it spits out. "Use the nano-banana model to create a 1/7 scale commercialized figure of the car in the illustration, in a realistic style and environment. Place the figure on a computer...

chatgpt model prompt. 😁

I got the other pocket fit and welded. I started on the trans tunnel notch. Need some more abrasives. Need to patch in a few spots that the big pannel missed. Shane should be welding all the spots on the cage that the previous owner skiped today. Nothing finnished and crossed of the list but a...

Still to do: Finish other windshield frame pocket. Sheet metal in the trans tunnel. Cut out seat brackets (built for PRP seats, Mastercraft seats have wider mount points) Remove cage to drill mount holes. Weld in seat mounts and finish weld other stuff on the cage. Paint the cage Bolt down...

Other fun is the wind shield frame contacts the cage. So I pocket cut it to clear. This took a bunch of tries of cut, check, cut some more. I Got both sides real close and one side filled in with some sheet metal. Still need to finish off the other side and detail sand it .

He has been wanting to put a real cage on the jeep for a while and we found one on a jeep getting scraped on market place. It has all the bars in the right spots and the price was good with belts and a good clean PRP rear bench. It came out of a TJ so how hard could it be... We after stripiing...

I had borrowed his jeep to do the annual Lockwood Valley trail cleanup / clearing. What a difference driving that up the trail vs my 160" wheel base Megacab. :ROFLMAO: But packing stuff on top of the tire didn't work well. So we built this wood platform before going up to Monachee.

I figured I should start a build thread for my son Shane's Jeep. This way I can keep the thread for my Megacab just Megacab stuff. Shane bought the Jeep May 26 2023. It is a 97 Jeep TJ 5spd. As it came it was on 2.5" lift, stock arms, junk shocks, stock alloy wheels, 33x10.5" BFG AT tires...

One of my favorite modifications on my Ex. Saved many a spilled drink during the unloading process. 😂 Yours is way more rad than mine.

@dwphoto might have me convinced to clean up and limp down the Dodge as is. I will probably come back with @4lowlance if he has space then come back Saturday with Shane after he gets off work in the morning. That way we will only have one hotel night. The Star Inn looks like the cheapest and...

The stuff I am seeing from the trip so far look like a great time was had. Looking forward to the trip report and stories.
