B-RAD's place finally

[B-RAD77]

I'm out of town showing my buddy my thread so back to the top

Would 5 minute epoxy work to fill that void? I use it making knives and it stands up well to finishing and is quite durable...just a thought, but I am no expert!

Thanks DRhodes well don't know about quality stuff the Jeep is just a 77 CJ-7 its my high school ride. I've owned it since 1986 it is in a constant state of modification. the boat is a '96 and I'm pretty good at beating up my Snap on dealer. Are you from Utah? are you a Snap on dealer?

Love the photos of the Jeep. Thanks for posting them. I'm actually from Ohio and a full time accountant. I have always been a tool guy though and sell tools on the side.

[B-RAD77]

Took the Jeep out of the garge the last couple of weekends

 

[B-RAD77]

OK I have not updated or hung out on GJ for a long time. I'll try to summerize. In the spring of 2012 I broke my Currie front 9" housing on a ********* trail at Area BFE in Moab Utah. My buddies and I welded it back together on the trail and I fished the wheeling year on that trail repair This is the broken housing

this is the trail weld I have an under hood welder on my Jeep (thanks Mike)

 

[B-RAD77]

So early this year was time for up grade in B-RAD's place. I wanted to redo my front suspension links any way so here is a picture of some of that.

 

[B-RAD77]

Some mock up of a cool high pinion Dana 60

 

[B-RAD77]

After a whole bunch of cut, grind weld I felt I deseved a reward...... a nice glass of Amber from a little local brewry

 

[B-RAD77]

Scarey welder dude..... me

 

[B-RAD77]

After a ton of mock up then finish welding and building I converted my dirty back room into a make shift paint booth. I put plastic on everything, opened both doors and used a cheap Home Depot fan

 

[B-RAD77]

All back together and ready to wheel ....... It works fantastic

 

[B-RAD77]

some more add ons, This time outside fixing the old backporch

 

[B-RAD77]

and then added some more concrete along side B-rads Place next to the patio pad I poured when building the garge. Im going to stand up a lean to on the side of the garage for a place for the bar that didn't fit inside

 

[B-RAD77]

Yep, well Sandy/ Draper actually nice forum name are you my alter ego? My forum name comes from my real name Brad and favorite number is 7 my CJ7 is a 77 and at one point in life I owned a 77 Chevy short bed the 77 CJ a 77 Eliminator boat and my house was built in 1977. oh ya back in the early 80's when I raced BMX being RADical was cool so B-RAD

 

[B-RAD77]

Wow my thread reached 100 posts! Cool, it took some time but we made it. Well I've made a little progress on my lean too and porch I'll post some pictures in a little while

 

[cdill57]

Falcon, This is what Is was talking about. With the lights almost on the floor working under the vehicle is alot nicer.

This is an excellent idea! Love your set up, nice work!

 

[Imcrazy]

looks like pictures of your Jeep at Moab?

 

[B-RAD77]

Yep I go to Moab every chance I get, witch isn't often enough. Are you a wheeler

 

[Brad777]

Funny. My real name is Brad and favorite number is 7 also. With that, I'm not surprised that you've put some serious effort into making a nice garage as I have too. I'm in Bluffdale where we don't have to worry much about being too close to the property line as most of us have an acre or more to either manage grass or cover with a large shop and a bunch of concrete driveway.

Enjoy and take care. We get to Moab to rock crawl sXs's occasionally...might see ya sometime.

 

[B-RAD77]

Well hell Brad777 we are practickly niebors. Everybody stay tuned the new boat is only a few weeks out. I've been realy busy at work so the lean to had to get paused but will be back up and going soon.

 

[GRN96WS6]

It must be hell fitting the boat between the house and into the backyard garage!

 

[smithred67]

Jealous of the boat!

 

[B-RAD77]

I raced BMX in the early to mid 80's. I am sure you raced at Riverview?

 

[B-RAD77]

Hello Thax. yup raced at riverview, Ogden, Provo, when I started racing I was 8 years old and we used race in a horse barn in Draper oh and the old coliseum at the Utah state Fair park. I haven't looked at my thread on here for awhile but, I was trying to figure out when I finished building my garage...... Are they ever really finished? Kind of like my Jeep projects
