Thanks for posting this... your project is absolutely awesome! Very nice workmanship!! ...D

I agree with Matt's comment about cracking... I would also be concerned with the steel mounting plate (and bolts) sitting in water/snow/ice. Instead of bolting a plate to the top of a step, is there a way to attach from underneath... or to the steel stringers? ...D

Welcome! Sorry I can't offer any info on your specific jack... but, I will tell you that I found parts for my old jacks at blackhawkparts.com They stock parts for a variety of hydraulic equipment... old and new. Lots of knowledge there and happy to help. Good luck with your project! ...D

Yep... I used to work in a shop where we cut aluminum extrusion on a regular basis... not a problem at all. Because we cut so much, we had a wax stick (intended for saw-cutting aluminum) that we used to lubricate the blade. Since you're probably only making a couple of cuts, you probably don't...

No reason twist drills won't work... Accurately lay out the hole locations and center punch them. Use a 3/16" or 1/4" bit to drill pilot holes. On the smaller holes, you can proceed directly to the 31/64" bit. Use proper "speeds and feeds"... you might also want to use cutting oil. I would...

Used to sell AccuSpray brand spray equipment. They have a variety of needle/nozzle and air cap combinations which allow their guns to spray pretty much anything. Not sure if their components would fit your HF gun? IIRC, their guns weren't terribly expensive... maybe pick up one of theirs? ...D

You're making great progress!! Great to hear you'll have concrete on Saturday. It's amazing how quickly things can turn around. A couple weeks ago, you weren't sure you'd make any progress before the bad weather sets in... now, I'm thinking you may get it dried in. Wish I lived closer... I'd...

Weld On and Caseway are two manufacturers that produce cements for a variety of applications... you may find what you're looking for from one of them. ...D

I hear ya on the "diversions"... seems like, no matter what I'm trying to get done, something always comes along that takes priority. Over the years, I've learned to have patience but... enough already. I'm in the same boat as you. I'm in Wyoming trying to make some headway on this build...

On my cj there are two tabs on the inside of the windshield frame... two large "thumbscrews" attach it to the dash. Not home at the moment... i know a pic would be helpful... sorry! Bueller... anyone? Anyone... Bueller??

...not a picture i wanted to see... Thoughts and prayers that you, and your neighbors, stay safe ...D

I can see them on the app but not on the site... ...D Sent from my SM-N960U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Hey Eric... I assume you're posting pics and not sure if its just me... but I'm not seeing 'em Glad to hear you're making progress! ...D

Can you believe people??? WTF??? Sorry to hear this... makes no sense whatsoever... Unbelievable... Thoughts are with you... ...D

Good thing you get the "discounts" and have a large PV system! ...D

The rocky gnarly trails sound like fun! These days, I prefer horse back though... I'm hoping we don't have major rock growth come spring. I'm sure I missed a few but hopefully, it won't turn into another excavation project! Thanks for stopping by... ...D

As far as other work... I spent about 2 1/2 days mowing with the walk-behind and shoulder-fired weed eaters. The areas along the driveway and at the bottom of the driveway had gotten completely out of hand. My misses mows everything she can with the rider but, a lot of this ground is either...

Hey Justin, Thanks for stopping by! Dirt bikes... sounds like fun! Are there many trails to ride near your place... or do you need to load up and travel a bit? Years ago, I had a dirt bike. There were a few places to ride around my parent's place. And, I'd throw the bike in the p'up and...
