First turn of the key on this engine install. Neither one of us have ever done anything like this before. But we managed to remove and install the engine in this 2013 Jeep JK.
He falls asleep laying half on this pillow and half on my arm.
He falls asleep laying half on this pillow and half on my arm. Now my arm is asleep too. 😂 But I don’t want to move and wake him up. Love this pup.

Helping a friend replace the engine in his 2013 JK. Everything had been disconnected except the motor mounts at this point. Just need to pull this block and the first part is done. Should be able to get the new block assembled and in by the end of next weekend. It’s been educational for sure.

Celebrating some birthdays this week with a trip to Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area. Matt, Chris and I have birthday’s within a week of each other. TJ’s is about a month away. Even though Mike’s isn’t close, we let him come along anyway. 🙂 – Video link in my bio!
Spent the better part of two days wheeling the trails at AOAA. This is an awesome off road park for all kinds of enthusiasts. They allow motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs and full size vehicles, like Jeeps. Some trails are restricted to Jeeps only.
Even after two solid days of wheeling, there are more parts to this park we didn’t see than we did. Will definitely be making a trip back some time in the not too distant future.

Welding squares
Inspired by a product I have seen online and used in other YouTube videos, I set out to make my own welding square. I learned a little Fusion 360 and designed this small 8″ welding square. I was fortunate enough to have this cut out on a water jet at a local maker space. Used the Primeweld TIG 225x to weld it up.
