Well I FINALLY got the jeep back from the body shop. It's been in there since my flop in Ocala. I got several things I NEED to do and a few I'd like to do before Jeeptober. I'll be working on it after work during the week and am hoping I can get a couple guys over on the weekend. I have a slab and canopy at the house but if someone has a bay they can offer up I can trailer it there. Post/PM/Call me if you are able to help out.

Thsnks,
Jack

I highly doubt it. Chris would have to come home like today..... Because the Jeep needs the fuel sending unit replaced and a few other things before it is trail ready. And since I doubt that will happen I am pretty sure we won't be going. :2thumbdown:
