Nice philosophy. I like it.
The only question it raises is "Then, what am I doing reading Usenet?"

Re: anybody built theier own CJ frame?
We were talking about replacing a tin worm frame with a new frame.
Quadratec has rectangular tube frames running about $1800 (depending on
model) $300 worth of steel and 40 hours to get to the same point.
Would I spend $1800 for a new frame, plus $2000 for a fiberglass body,
and $xx for all the rest, of course you won't get your money out.
