Thanks. It's coming along, albeit slow. Got a little burnt out and haven't worked on it the last couple weeks, but I know warm weather is around the corner so I'm getting ready to jump all over it again.

Nice weather is great motivation to do Jeep work tho!!! ![:punk:](//storage.proboards.com/3613987/images/3KZmHO3UZDby07SoKuid.gif)

There's nothing like having a project you can build on late at night with a cold brew and nothing but a radio to keep ya company... I find it relaxing myself... Great build BTW.. can;t wait to see the finished product! ![:thumbup1:](//storage.proboards.com/3613987/images/Pf3l87Bwpxax9yHk6S6v.gif)

I don't know how many times a beer has helped me figure out a problem on the Jeep.

Are you gonna keep the 10 bolt, or are you looking for a Dana 60?

Are you gonna keep the 10 bolt, or are you looking for a Dana 60? I'll run the 10 bolt for now. Don't want to blow my whole budget for the build on a 60. I can get it built and running and find a 60 and build it and it will swap in almost as easy then and it would now. Why, you got a 60 you want to get rid of?

Quick update, got a grill and console for the Jeep yesterday. Next weld on the square tube for the bumpers and install spring mounts for the stretch front and rear. ![](http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/zz273/06blackmax/B34D3AD5-C444-4928-B6A6-327A65A76099-184-00000013A965BBDA.jpg) ![](http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/zz273/06blackmax/0F26580D-B2E0-46F5-9AFB-AFEFC1D449F1-184-00000013B3955321.jpg)
