Documenting my automotive ADD

Super clean rig with nice lines? but you need to polish, paint or buff out the SAW air shocks to make it look primo. 
No offense as my Jeep is a clapped out pile most of the time, but they are the only not shiney parts.

Yeah, the shocks are pretty beat. After I wheel it awhile, I'm sure that I'll upgrade, either to new air shocks or probably coilovers.

As long as they work.  Should be able to buff/ polish the aluminum bodies. 
 
First ride complete and everything went great. Absolutely no issues and I couldn't be happier with everything. It was just a few hours at URE so no real obstacles but fun to finally get it out and enjoy it. Time to start planning some trips for after first of the year.

Definitely let me know what dates y'all are having rides. I'll try to make it up and bring a couple other buddies.
 
My shop time is extremely limited nowadays so getting anything done has become an issue. But I was able to finally get the Tracker back in the shop and start prepping to get the head back on and get it running.

One project that I've been working on for a few months has been making some progress.

I've been clearing some land beside the house to build a new shop. A buddy brought his backhoe over and he's been digging up and pushing over a bunch of trees.

My current shop is shared with my Dad and brother plus it's up the road from the house, between our house and my parent's house. Building the shop at the house will get me a lot more room and I won't have to share it or worry about having projects sitting in the shop taking up space that someone else could use. Plus, with the little one here now, she can come outside and I can watch her if the shop is here at the house.

These pics are after the first weekend of work, I'll post more to show our progress. Unfortunately I forgot to take any before we started to get a true before and after.

Scissor trusses should be in your future for more overhead height unless youve already ordered them.

Haven't decided on trusses yet. Leaning towards pole barn construction with steel trusses. I have a 2-post lift on order that needs 13.5' of overhead clearance, so I'm building around that.
