The new tires and painted rims

Axle tag

First time my jeep has moved since late 2016.

My wife was not too sure about the way we escaped the little spot where (behind 5th wheel and lumber stacks and etc) Wallace had been languishing. Hey, thank god for fencing screws, right? I had to remove a whole panel to get out.

Place of honor on the street. No flowers were harmed during the break out.

There is more to do before I can actually go on an adventure- adjust brakes, fix the u joint I replaced but effed up somehow (too tight), fill steering box with suitable lube. 

But for now, I am pretty happy to meet this milestone. So many jeeps just keep sitting and sitting good intentions all around but time flies and like Pink Floyd said nobody told him when to run.

Front axle tag

I have been wondering why, when a wire is under 24" long, bubba treats the replacement wire as if it were made from gold, incredibly expensive, rare to source and otherwise dear. So a 20 " wire must be cut exactly long enough to reach its stud (if stretched tight). It must also be routed the shortest distance between A and B. To hell with if it  interferes with something or blocks access to something else, like all the gauges, their wires, and etc.

A couple weeks past the deadline but I don't care. The engine runs so beautifully it is hard to describe. Gear driven in-lines are wonderful engines. So smooth.

Thanks for sharing
