My buddy's new Rubicon.

No wonder it had a little stumble in the motor....The spark plugs were the original NGK. 193000km on them. BRUTAL.

I also did the brakes yesterday, bolt down the custom fabed roof, greased all the johnny joints and other greasable points, and changed the oil. The rig is vastly better than it was a week ago.

After crawling on my current shop floor all week with this bugger, I have not commited to building another shop next door with a lift. Time to get serious! I know I can do ANYTHING when it comes to wrenching and fabrication but I need the space to do it. Someone on the island here has a 26x40x18 "flip up building" for sale for a decent price. Cheaper than I can build a wood frame one for. So I may jump on that pour the slab and pop that up ASAP then over the winter, complete the inside.

I meant NOW. Damn apple phones.

Damn apple phones.

And to think, I prefer them....

But you know, some people gotta tinker!

This place is like a Tinker collection...

I'm unsure now a days. I have been using my iPhone 8 for the past two years and been happy with it until the past six months. I dont get notifications on either my phone or apple watch. I have piss poor signal reception and about once a week my battery drains in about 3 hrs. I cannot use faceID. I hate it. So until touch Id comes back to the iPhone I am stuck using this or move to android. I have not picked up my iPad in over a month and I am using my Samsung galaxy tab a 8 most of the time.

That being said i think I'm moving my iPad to my son and getting a surface pro x for my tablet system. It's awesome for what I need.

Took Er up for a scoot today to test out everything. Working good. Got a few More things to sort out. I think the rough country control arms are being replaced with something with stock style bushings for a quieter smoother ride. A couple of pics of our quick scoot!
