that looks like a lot of work. How long did that project take you?

I've been curious on how the Atlas looked. I'd be interested in knowing how it performs as well. Nice work!

Default Jason's . . . new transportation vehicle.

Sad to hear after having worked on, and dragged 'ol Yeller out of the mud a couple of times.

Looks like a nice truck - I'm certain you'll enjoy driving it (though hopefully not as much as the JK).

I was only able to salvage a few parts (the dealer offered top dollar to keep the Jeep as is).

Well it's been an ongoing project for 5 months. That includes everything else we have done. It took 3.5 months just to get the atlas and everything. It only took 8 straight hours to get it done. The atlas is very beefy and will hold up for a long time. I can't wait to do some front digs.

Congrats. That project just looks and sound way too technical for me to tackle. At least we know who in our group has those kinds of skills.

Yeah its been pretty tough and hard without the jeep, but its going to be sweet when its done. Hopefully this summer I will be adding some air bumpstops and some 40" kevlar mt/r's

sounds sweet!

I just hope landers get their shit together. Jeep is there. Hoping for a good trans rebuild and i hope they fix the f*cking header. I'm sick of fighting this bowed piece of plastic. Does this void my warrenty?
