No, we are still live...

We have had to make several runs for parts today, so we have been in and out. We are putting the finishing touches on the mout for the steering box now and will be welding it in and bolting up the box before we close tonight.

Tomorrow the big task is getting the shock hoops installed, then we move onto various small pieces like remounting the coolers and ARB bumper.

Saturday, the tie rod and drag link will arrive and we will be road testing.

We are close enough now that "to do" items are listed on a "punch list" and we are crossing them off one by one

Dang. Missed the last two episodes. I was stranded in Wrangell AK due to freakin weather. Dialup was soo damn slow that my connection couldn't keep up with your updates.

So it looks like you made progress and got the steering box in. Very nicely done.

Look forward to tomorrows episode.

Mike

I spent about 30 minutes composing a status mail last night, but someone took YotaTech down for "maintanance" between the time I hit the "reply" button, typed it up and hit the "submit reply" button, so it was all lost. I will update the website this morning, but I am not likely to put that kind of time into it again.

We are in pretty good shape
