Well I guess it's time for another garage day cool. I'm up for whatever you guys want, we can do it at my place or where ever. The date is fine for me just need to know where so I know how to plan. If you guys want to come to my place i can do a priming class seeings we didn't the last time. I will set something up to show you the tricks and easy way to go about it. If we have it at my place and everyone stays till lunch or later we can grill dogs and burgs. Just throwing some ideas to ya.

If everything works as planned, my address is 3536 Waterfield pkwy, Lakeland. Fl 33803.....863 397 4027. I have a garage but its pretty full with FSJ parts but we should be able to open one bay and the parking area for your projects. Ill buy dough nuts and coffee to get everyone started. Note: all projects left on the property after 7pm become the shop owners property and maybe parted/Sold/salvaged. :P ;) Call me if you have any questions

Hey Jon, any chance you have the stuff for me to polish some old chrome/aluminum? I need to clean up some pieces before I install them.

Jarret, I have plenty of buckets but the adjusters are broke out of them. However, a vendor on the site has replacements at a good price and I do have several aluminum front bumpers that may/should fit your Cherokee. we hope to see ya there.
