plan 1:
- build new frame
- build new axles
- freshen up spare motor (or 5.2?), trans, transfer case, install sye, install on new frame
- build 3 link and attach axles to frame in various ways
- put cab and new bed on new frame, install new floors
- install 97+ interior
- drive

plan 2:
- wait until a week before (alright fine, the day before)
- panic
- booger weld patches across the holes and cracks in my frame - DONE :shocked:
- throw every jeep part I own in the back
- throw every tool I own in the back
- do not remove trash from rocktoberfest, fallcrawl, or any other run from the back, under any circumstances - UNDONE :shocked:
- throw all the beer and hard alcohol I can find in the back
- throw hammock in the back
- buy food on the way out of town at 2am Saturday
- drive

I am sure what actually happens will fall somewhere between these two plans.

I don't have a Jeep anymore so

bring your jeep to me and I will build it.

I think I might have more fun sending you pics of the hokey ass redneck ghetto tricks and jeep jenga games while doing it than I would have building it.

After I read the first line, I thought "Absolutely not," and my mind flashed to things that would happen during building it. I then read the 2nd line, and you confirmed everything I thought would happen.
