This is an area where we can introduce ourselves, what we do to support our Jeep habbit and what that habbit is.

Mudrat, aka: Pat. I'm a technical engineer for Life Cycle Engineering. Right now I'm writing training plans for Navy communications systems.
Current projects are a frame up refurb of an 85 CJ, 258, Tremec T-5, Dana-300, turning D-44's on an SOA with 3" lift. Stuck some 35" BFG M/T under it all.

Littlejohn- aka: John- Sales Manager for direct marketing retailer (don't worry-we only recieve inbound calls)
Completing frame up rebuild of CJ-7 (Just odds and ends at this point.) Nothing original except engine and tranny, everything else (including frame) off other vehicles.
This is my first jeep, and I'm loving it. Looking for new places to use it off road, as well as other active jeepers to wheel with.
Near future plans: front locker, AMC 360, 4:1 kit for the Dana 300

What year CJ Littlejohn?
Since I've been doing that on an 85, I may have some insight to share :-)
I also just got another D-300 that I was looking at installing the 4:1 kit in. what (where) have you found for prices and reliablity?

Russ...PSL??? is that Pensacola??? Don't worry about MC, if he read your handle (80J10) he would know you started with real metal :wink: And, he's really a light weight - 2 beers at 3AM and he's ready to rack out. But he did rip my rear axle out in record time :-)

In the AirForce work small arms instructor. Soon will start building a garage near the house looking at 25x40 or 30x50 depends on what happens between now and then. This will be home to my 88 gw and anything else I can drag/drive home and hide from the missus. Also like using black powder weapons myself only have a few though.

Seriously? Want to go shootin' one day? I went shooting with a friend back in college out on his farm. What a blast, we shot all kinds of crap that he and his step father had collected over the years. He also taught me a lot about gun safety as well. The best was this BIG ARSE rifle (bullets were about 3.5" to 4" long) that had a ~70 round barrell clip on it and a spring on the back of the trigger. He also had some other ones that I questioned the legality of, but of course those were the REALLY fun ones. Needless to say my sholder was sore that night. :lo1l: Of course we easily blew over a hundred bucks in ammo, also!
