Worked on the Jeep and got the Front Long Arms in.

So today I went to Tooele at about 8:am and knocked on Scott's door and we got to work. We put the kids in the play room and then started unbolting the current suspension system and installing the new one. It was a lot of work and thank god Scott was there to do the welding and tell me what to do. the kids had a great time playing and then decided that at about 3:00 pm they wanted to play outside so we hooked them with shoes and let them go hog wild. Unfortunately the went a little to hog wild and got into the hose and tried to wash the dogs. From what i was told it was a real mess.
We got a lot of work done today and we have the rear to start in the morning. We will be replacing the rear axel, replacing all of the bushing in the short arm that I have in the jeep now and re gearing the front axle. . I will be also picking up a set of extended break lines in the next few days so. Scott also says I may need a set of limiting straps at some point also.

Went to Cabelas and REI

So I went to Cabelas and REI today it was a good day. Took the kids to see the fish and other cool stuff in the store. We had lunch and looked at the fish and then did some shopping. David got a stuffed fish and ZZ got a stuffed Turtle. I also purchased a jacket and some fuge for Cayla. She told me she did not want anything but you should always get something from Cabelas.
Then I went to REI to look for a backpack and found one. it was half off so i figured i would get it. so i am all just about set for the camping trip coming up in a week and a half.
I am heading to Scott's early in the morning about 7:30 to 8:00 am to start working on my jeep. the plan is to have my Jeep torn down and re built no later than Tuesday night so i can put it through it's paces to make sure it will be good for our camping trip. I will upload a bunch of photos and videos of the work starting Monday night and follow up Tuesday night. What fun this will be.
