  • Looks a little tilted to the driver's side...
    Did I miss where you are going to level it?
    Looking great!

    • don't show your screw ups and you can be just like those TV guys...

      BTW, the radiator looks almost level. The rest of the vehicle is leaning to the right. I figured it was the camera angle so I've kept quiet. Look at the roll bar to the garage door...

      • radiator leans the other way - it's really simple to fix but it's funny that it too until yesterday to notice it.

        • You guys, all down on which way the radiator leans......haters......

          Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.

            • My personal leanings go as such......Volkswagen, Jeep, Buick, everything else, Ford.

              I love 'em all, just some more than others.

                Isn't that what Wilt Chamberlain said?

                  I didn't notice the radiator until you brought it up. I noticed what I thought was lean on the fuji when you posted the pics with the playdough coating in #760 and decided it might be the camera angle. Add several hundred pounds of gear on the passenger side and it'll all even out I guess.



                  Use something that doesn't constantly need to have it's oil checked and nobody will notice the radiator?

                    Like Beags, I thought camera angle.. Then I thought a fresh ( read old and fuzzy) set of eyes miiight be appreciated...
                    Thus I put my foot in it...

                      the only thing leaking is that blasted Jeep transfer case. I still hate Jeeps.

                      • now I have front axles too!

                        with splines

                        time to do the time-consuming work on the fenders...








                        and that's where it stopped - still need to fit the sheet metal to side #1 then onto side two

                            no, mild steel... stainless would be easier IMO because I'd use 16 ga... hmmm.... thinking.... no
