So i am guessing it will be all torn back down for powdercoat and paint? Color scheme top secret?
Small update. I went over to St. John's a couple nights ago and he's been working on all sorts of interesting stuff, including some projects besides the Cheeromanche. I didn't bother taking pictures of that crap. He's been working on turbo piping, spares mounts, linkages, and logistical items one might need on the trail. Here's some photos.
These are of his spare oils tray (oil, atf, power steering fluid)

Next up is the toolbox on the other side:

These are shots of his spare part mounts he built behind the spare tire. No wasted space on this thing. He said he thought about the items that had failed him in the past and decided these were the three he needed to carry spares of: p/s pump, starter, and alternator.

Here's some randoms/
Front Mount of Hilift that I hadn't gotten a pic of before:

Brake Proportioning Valve mounted so that it will stick out of the dash panel for easy on the fly adjustment:

Turbo downpipe and you can somewhat see the LS1 coils mounted on the bellhousing bolts:

Throttle linkage and another background shot of coils:

Cooling fans mounted for tranny cooler and power steering cooler (you can see the mounting brackets for the coilover reservoirs as well:

and finally, as his cousin Charlie calls it, "The Bag of Snakes"

This thing blows my mind
good stuff as usual. im guessing the engine spare parts are in addition to some spare drivetrain parts elsewhere? is it getting dual spare tires? also, getting painted or powdercoated?
cheap paint , one spare, and I think I might put a rear driveline in the passenger bedside. what else do you think i need? i only want stuff that would leave me completly stranded otherwise and/or things i can change easily on the trail.
THis may have already been covered, but what type of wheeling is the Jeep being built for? Crawling? Go-fast? KOH? Jeepspeed? Expo? Trailer queen? Driver? etc etc.

It will be the Ultimate Driving Machine
Long time since an update... Has anyone seen it in years?
Update?
Still in the garage.
Ryan, where you at? I know you have the motorcycle carrier attachment? You've been working on your super sick flatbed, but haven't seen that mounted up yet. C'mon sucka!
Bump. Ryan you need a new(old) hobby.
