Repaired some damage to a couple foamies from today's shenanigans with @Decal Dennis. It was way to windy to be flying foamies but we couldn't resist. Repaired the landing gear on the Crack Fokker twice today. That thing really does not like the wind at all. Also had a small inch or so tear I had to fix on the leading edge of my Crack Laser. I managed to park it way way up in a tree late this afternoon. Somehow I managed to get it down with very minimal damage. Little Foam Tac on that tear and she's ready to go again. I'm sure Dennis has a pic or two to share of me climbing the tree.

My shop truck had it's 21st birthday at the beginning of the year so I know what your talking about. The plan is to drive it to the wheels fall off then bolt them back on and drive it some more.Past several nights have been occupied with fixing things here and there on the Jeep, none of which have been straightforwardWish I could be working on airplanes but I got nothing that needs workin on.
The good news is the Jeep is getting newer one part at a time

Tell you what, after installing a new tie rod, drag link, tie rod ends, front axle shafts, lower door hinge pin on the drivers door, drivers door latch, getting an alignment, an oil change, new radiator shroud, new coolant overflow bottle, and recharging the AC with straight R134a to top it all off, my 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee sure does feel like a new vehicle! Next up is front brakes since they need doing and then front hub bearings as a preventative measure.
The nice thing about a Jeep is that anything and everything I'd need for it will always be available, most of it being aftermarket. I'll drive it until the doors fall off then just roll around without doors

Got lights installed on my 39" Twisted Crack Yak. The pic does it no justice as they are attached to a light controller I bought from a guy in Russia, he makes them himself.
You can turn them on and off and switch between the 5 modes on a 3 way switch on your TX.
