Lest any of you think I'm getting lazy in my old age (OK OK, so I am 
), I figured I would post some pics/info on what has been keeping me busy alongside the bevvy of minion sports and other obligations:
The EB:
The chassis and drive-train are currently back at the farm awaiting their turns at the steam cleaning station. After that will be resealing, painting, and reassembly... Some other bits and pieces will be added along the way to freshen it up overall
The C-101:
It's currently back at the farm as well, awaiting the next steps toward, uhh, I dunno... It hadn't run in a couple of decades, so after playing motor for way too long I whipped out the tube kinker and glue gun. There is no real focus or goal here other than to keep it alive and in the family, so I dunno what's next but it will be documented here
1995 YJ:
Bought this one as a flip. The poor fella had NO idea what was going on with it, and was just tired of messing with it, so I basically stole it. He had put a pile of money into it already to make it look almost brand new, I mean this thing was CLEAN, but it was mechanically a bit of a mess... I spent a few weekends making it right and put it back on it's way
1998 TJ:
Bought this as another flipper. It was a complete disaster in every direction, so I spent several weekends making it into something that I wasn't ashamed of
That about brings us up to speed on the major projects over the past year or so. There have been a few updates to the JLU-R, the tow pig(s), the trailer(s), and just recently a new addition to the fleet, but that is for another time
