Yeah me too I have been fighting off being sick and was hoping to get to it this weekend but alas Friday was hard for me and I am still trying to get rid of this nasty cold.

The name Stampy was given to my first CJ5 by a friend after I got "stuck " in a thicket of trees on my property with 2 -3" trunks. I wasn't stuck for long and the trees did not survive the ordeal. 
In my book gun control means using both hands and hitting your target!

Woah baby - is is great to see the grand kids pitching in - the little blonde headed one loves to turn wrenches with grandpa - the other two as long as they can see sparks or flames (wonder where they got that from  ) will keep attentive and hang around.
Thought I would throw these in here for you dads with kids that might not realize they want to hang around and learn something - it was difficult buying a pigmy spray mask so it was properly fit.
The paint on the tank is a sample of the Rapco stuff simulated - scared the living crap out of me when I opened the can and mixed to spec's with the recommended thinner - it looked like shiny olives - then finally dried out to match perfectly.
Ladders and racks were also painted today along with the added on mufflers and pipes to the exhaust system.
enjoy

PAPA - anytime
the ladders and racks are installed with "threaded nut zerts"
the bolts do not go through the body - they only go through the outer skin with 3/8 ths threads and bolts/ A pair of crimpers are used - the nut zert threads onto the end of the tool - insert into the skin and it crimps (line a rivet) and it still maintains the 3/8 thread internally - and then just bolt them on - very cool stuff.
IF you want to see it - I can post a pic of how it works - come in all different sizes.

Yes please post a picture I always like knowing how to do the hidden attachment as it gives a clean look all around.

I'll post the zerts & tool tomorrow when it is light out and I am down there working on them - also take a pic of the finished install.
The smaller tool available is just an additional crimper to a hand rivet gun for smaller threaded zerts in place of a rivet insert.

You guys got it going. Keep it up as I'm getting ideas for my. Looks like I may be waiting still next spring to do more work on mine. The weather is getting colder, and we've been getting quite a bit of rain here. Wish I had a shed to put it in, so I could tinker all winter long. I'm really enjoying this thread. Thanks alot!
