I had my rolling chassis done by late 2015,And before I was on this forum I had rebuild my engine,transmission and transfer case.
Last night I had 4 members of my family to gave me a hand to finally put the tub back on the chassis after 4 years working on it off and on. Today I was like a kid , I started doing some wiring,fasten the tub to chassis, I was amazed how the bolts aligned with the tub and chassis.I had the engine running about 6 months ago,had it at temp,set timing and adjusted carb ,oil pressure at idle is 40psi.Looking good to having it on the road this summer.

Giles - I've followed this thread for months, getting more and more excited as it progressed. I said nothing when you chose to vacation in Florida or to go to your cabin instead of working on the jeep (and thus deprived me of my fix)
Now it's getting really close, I have one question though: what time do we need to be there for the test drive?

Wow... you want to pick your jaw off the floor, catch this thread at the beginning and then check back in now, lol. I'm generally not a fan of clones, but the quality of work and the dedication is top notch! THAT is one lucky little jeep to have you be the one to find it-

When you're done (mostly...) get pics so you can have "Before" and "After" handy wherever you go. People will be amazed!
