Today we got the rear axle installed.  Tomorrow we'll be doing the front end.  Gary will be there bright and early at 0900, but there's not much that can be done until after he cuts off the front brackets.

Great success!!!  She's about 80% done, I'd say.  Gary got to see what the future holds today.  I'm sure he'll post up pics when he has time.   :)

sounds good. If you really want to know, we can take measurements to the body from the ground.  :)

Bad news people...  The hobby shop is no longer safe to leave your vehicle for any period of time while you aren't there.  Gary had his brand new $200 rear shocks stolen from the back of his jeep.  We have a VERY strong suspicion that it was an inside job by a shop keeper.  Say a prayer for Gary, he's really upset.
