    Hey from the Bull...

    Hey guys (and Janie),

    I haven't been on the board for a very, very long time - but thought I'd drop in to say hi to all my ole buddies on here.

    The family is doing great, and they are keeping me very busy!!! Wyatt will be turning 5 soon, and Ashley will be turning 3. I'm sure several remember when they were born!!!

    Project Crackpipe is still steadily coming along. My son and I have taken it out a few times to get into some trouble. Steve (GaWag) and Brian (Bman) came over two weekends ago to help me finish the new rollbar. It's not the ultimate cage, but should serve my needs and wheeling style very well.

    For those unfamiliar with the project, it's a coupla a chopped up yj and cj bodies, placed on my old SJ frame.

    Here's two pics of the completed rollbar (no good offroad pics yet)...

                Yeah Gary, it goes by fast...too fast. That's part of why I pulled back from the lists - I was getting a really bad case of "constantinus upgradicus" as Dobosh would say. I realized I was spending more time on my Jeep than I was with my kids...luckily the good Lord jumped into my circumstances and straightened me up.


                Hey Tad, do you make a steering brace for the S-10 steering box swap? I thought you were, but then didn't see anything on your website. Now that I've taken all the weight off of the front end, this thing steers way, way, way to easy. I'm a little worried about running 3 bolts, and figured the brace would offset that.

                  Very nice Brad. But, wouldn't this vehicle be designated a CP6? CrackPipe 6.
                  Definately a one of a kind vehicle for sure.

                    Brad, it's great to see you back. Don't be such a stranger, and on a very nice rig.

                      correct me if i'm wrong but the longest wheelbase CJ jeep is the CJ8 or maybe the scrambler.... call yours the CWJ10, Grand Wrambler, Scrambled wagoneer, CJFSJ, Scwambler. or may an open crewcab in either case its gonna be one stretched out cj
