Well, after 6 months of hell, frustrations and agony, I finally have the title and plates for this darn thing.  I want to take it for its first legal spin, but I can't. 

I had surgery to fix a torn rotator cuff and partially torn biceps. My shoulder had been bothering me for nearly 2 years. I had no idea it was this severe.  :-?

Hopefully, I'll be ready for the coming driving season.

That's a tough way to get out of shoveling snow.  Do your therapy and get well soon.

What Tim didn't tell us was just how tough he really is!

Hang in there Tim and do your therapy - 12oz can curls I hear is good!

Sorry to hear about ur pain in the shoulders & the agony u went thru on ur project! More than a few of us can attest to what u went & r going thru. Pace urself so u don't re-injure. Get urself back out on the trails. Take care.   Randy

I guess it�s what we all face as we get old.  Time slips by so fast�and seems to accelerate as the years pass.  I feel like a 30 year old guy�until I look in the mirror. :-?

As you all know, this vehicle takes both arms to drive.  I fully intend on seeing many of you on the trails this summer and fall!  Just cut me some slack when you�re behind me�and wondering why I�m driving like a dumb-*rear end. :-[

Thank you all for the Well Wishes.  I really do appreciate it.

Tim

Rachel took her first �legal� trip in Whitey this past weekend.� A grocery run.� Big smile on her face. (Made my day.)
 
Regarding starting and shifting; there is still a bit of a learning curve to overcome, but she�ll figure it out.

It sure stands out in a crowd!

I think you achieved your goal of a "Happy" jeep...

Not your average grocery getter..:)
