Looks like it is coming along well. I've often thought of doing this
myself, I get tired of fixing one thing after another.

So how many hours do you have invested so far?

I'm not really tracking my time spent, but I think I spend more time
staring at it then working on it ;-) I started the teardown
thanksgiving weekend of 03. Once I got the body off I didn't really
do any work for a few months as I was trying to make decisions and
plans for what had to be done. Plus it was summer.

I did the frame repairs last november, and since then have tried to
make steady progress. Hopefully it will be on the road this summer.
Probably the biggest reason I have taken my sweet time, is that I've
been saving for and planning a wedding the entire time. Saving $$ for
the wedding kind of takes priority over the Jeep. Once the wedding is
out of the way in May I should be ready (and have the $$) to do a new
custom roll cage, new exhaust, new shocks, and a few other big ticket
items.

All I know is I have a pile or receipts, and a little bigger beer
gut..... It takes a pretty big commitment as far as time, which has
been hard for me as I play hockey & volleyball tournaments and leauges
(out of town) year round, and I like to go camping, hiking, hunting
etc.... It was hard for me to find weekends to JUST work on the jeep.
A lot of my work gets done in the evenings. I finally gave up my gym
membership last year as I never went anymore. I'd get home and want to
work on the jeep instead.

I'm glad I'm doing the rebuild though. It has certainly been a
learning experience for a guy who never did anything more than change
his own oil until a few years ago.
