Small Shed Build
After years of constantly juggling with the limited space in the garage, it was well past time to give ourselves a little breathing room. Sadly, since we are in a subdivision in the city limits, there is only so much we can do for out buildings. No 40’x40’ pole barns, but an 8’x12’ shed falls just under the square footage amount required for building permits in our berg. We caught a sale at Lowes for one of their DIY shed…

About the same time, a friend was listing his 1995 F-250 7.3 for sale. I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for the 7.3 having spent quite a bit of time behind the wheel of one playing…

Cookie Cutter TJ Front Bumper
Front bumper Build: I wasn’t a fan of the front bumper that came on the TJ when I purchased it. Not only in the way it looked (too busy), but it also hung out quite a bit in front. I don’t have too many photos of it on the Jeep, but it looked like this on the ground 🙂 So started fabbing up a simple stubby bumper: I tucked it up as close as I could to still have room…
