    Love it. DIdn't the movie models have a Ramsey winch? Or is it just a different model than the one you're using?

    Yes, the screen correct Ramsey is model 6000, mine is a Ramsey 8500, and looks close enough for me. They say I can remove the heat sink on mine and no one would ever know, but I don't think you're normal joeblows would know anyway! lol

    Washed all the roadgrime/brine off the XJ. Got the CJ moved over for primary driver duty for a few days. Found the heater core is leaking. We're already warming up so I may just bypass it for the spring/summer and drop a new one in later in the year.

    In France, the city of Vendôme sold its name to the ice LVMH, for luxury jewelry use : 10.000 euros.
    I suppose that the Cherokee chief find this a good idea... licensing is a good job.

    I finally finished the cutting grinding and fitting in the tub. Center tunnel is done except for getting a piece of diamond plate aluminum for a cover.

    75 degree day. Pulled the top off and took the kids out for a backroad cruise and swung by one of the city parks on the way home so they could play. Then went though Sonic for their dinner treat.

    Great weather, happy kids, and a Jeep. Perfect day. And nothing wrong with a trip to Sonic every now and then. Tater tots with cheese! Good stuff!

    Pulled the pan, rear cap. Can resoundingly say the pan was not leaking. Ordered another pan gasket and seal. Got a silicone seal this time. Seems there's some online chatter the FelPro 2 piece rubber is a notorious leaker as well as the high dollar viton one. Guess we'll see....

    You’re more patient than me. That engine would be in a dumpster by now.

    Hi, After the cold spell, I went out to look beneath the hood of my '68. I had installed the Wilwood dual master cylinder with remote reservoirs. Before I had mounted them to the firewall, I kept trying to keep the darned things from leaking/seaping. I installed them~

    GRrrrrrrr, just enough leakage to eat up my nice paint:( I have since repaired this thanks to having plenty of extra green.

    I found this BMW reservoir and it did the trick~ I really didn't like the two separate reservoirs. It just has that extra port, but it's capped off.

    Looks great still. The Jurassic build is awesome as well. Now, when are you going to bring your magic touch to us FC fans?

    I've been pondering what I'd like to do next~ I need a little break and really want to make my garage look show room for a little while and need to work on the other classics, but need time to think! ;)
