Project Green Monster

Jeep has some stuff done to it but mainly just finished what I said I was going to. New floors are in and done...problem is I sealed them so well that there is not a permanent pond in my jeep. It's been there for about 2 months now and no rust so I've been delaying putting drain plugs in...New long arms are in. New rear shaft is in. Winch is hooked up. Got tires ready to go on and gears and install kits and a new 44 ready to all go in but I just haven't had time with school and my new truck. So it's probably gonna stay the way it is for a while as the only 3 current problems are the front axle shaft bearing, the t-case linkage slips out when shifting from 4 to 2, and the pond. And I can live with all of these so I will not touch it until something bigger breaks. It has been living up to the sign on the back and rescuing many of my dumb ass friends from the woods.
New floors done:

New tires seized up:

Tires with my Saab for no good reason

Whats the purpose of those lights?

Long story short plow truck and tow vehicle for my friends who break down. People on my street are happier with me having a shit load of flashing amber lights towing these vehicles to my house.

Whats the purpose of that lift?

Was bottoming out on a local trail where I shouldn't have so I lifted it with a cheap lift someone I knew was selling.

can you get into parking garages with those lights on top?

no but even if I clear the roof off I can't make it into any garages. Just makes me have to remember my bridge clearance

Figured I should update since I haven't done one in a while. No pics at the moment but all the old floors are cut out and grinding is 90% done. One more day of weld prep then fabricating the new floors and welding them in. I have also put on a new IRO transfer case cross member back at stock height. I have IRO long arms to install. New 231 with extreme SYE. New Tom Woods premium CV rear shaft and lengthened front CV shaft. New prerunner/winch bumper and the winch installed. Hopefully it will all be done by the November run, but too much has been setting me back. Hopefully new tires soon too. I will post pics again when I remember.

New tube doors are awesome They fit perfectly. Armand and Joe really did a great job on these and even did the install job Thanks guys!

Just got back from Maine and finished up the engine job. And to my great relief she coughed for a second then roared to life for the first time in a month. No more coughing, clicking, dying, etc. Purrs like a tiger.
lower end before:

oil pan off and some work done:

new* oil pan on:

All of those black chunks (all from the engine 0% dirt from outside) were cleaned out of the lower end of the lower end only I must have a full 5 gallon bucket of the shit I pulled out of the top and middle of the engine. My best friend said it best "well there's your problem right there." And yes the bulletproof AMC I-6 did run with that much shit in it.

I also took the time to remount my new vacuum bulb as hitting that tree busted up the old mounts and I will be getting my Logan Steel bumper on Monday and believe that type of bumper requires re-mounting of the bulb, not sure it does but hey it is safer here anyway.

Top end done and back together. I cranked it today and it did just fine so when I get back from Maine I am going to finish some work on the bottom end then clean the throttle body and intake manifold. Knock on wood it will run when I get it all done. Check out my new engine bay (not 100% back together). By the way the color adds like 40 horsepower

I sent this pic to a buddy of mine and he told me something was wrong with my camera but in all honesty the paint does look nasty and it was sandblasted and put 7 coats of engine enamel on so that will last forever.
