Ok, that is the LJ that Justin used to own, didn't know it had a name. He invited the new owner to come wheel with us. And that is Justin's orange buggy on the right and his wife's YJ between us.

I was going to ask about the LJ. Thought it looked familiar.
It was mine and when I buffed off the awful unlimited stickers on the hood "TED" was still visible no matter what I did , so it became Ted.

It's nothing like it used to be. Since our daughter was born, my shop time has become non-existent. I used to be in the shop basically all the time if I wasn't at work. Nowadays I'm lucky to get out there a couple times a month. Luckily I've got several months before our next planned trip so should give me enough time.
Still slowly making progress on the dirt work for the new shop. Maybe I can actually get it built next summer or fall.
I've got a backlog of projects I need to get done. Drivetrain swap and 4x4 conversion on Dad's XJ. Get the beater XJ fixed up and ready for the wife to start wheeling some next year. Car trailer needs a fresh coat of paint. Plus keeping up with maintenance on the normal vehicles.

Yeah, parents have been retired for a couple years now. That didn't affect my free time much, I only helped them out from time to time.

Got a free 12x24 storage building last week. Built a pad for it, covered the pad with rocks and hauled the building into place. Unloading the building was actually easier than getting it loaded. Have more rocks to put out around the edge of the pad, just ran out of time.
Went ahead and put R-19 insulation and house wrap underneath. Going to replace all the exterior metal siding and the roof next. Then insulate the walls and roof. Once I get it all fixed up, it will be where I store the buggy so I can stop having to keep it in the shop.

Yeah, family member had it in the edge of the woods at their house and had no plans to use it so I got it. It's probably 40 years old and the exterior is junk but overall it's solid inside.

Found a guy on marketplace that had a complete set of Rough Country seat covers for $50. Sent him a message and he said he was tired of them sitting in the garage so just come get them for free. Ran them through the washer and dryer and they're pretty much like new.
Got them installed today. Sorry for the dark pics, was running out of light by the time I finished.

Got new wheels for the JLU. Might be a couple weeks or so before I get new tires and get them installed. No pictures of the actual wheels, I'm working nights this week so literally just stacked the boxes in the shop when they got delivered. They're satin black, the picture makes them look gray.
Anyone with a JK or JL, Summit had these wheels for $125 each which is a very good price.
