Yeah, sorry about that...it has been a pretty boring phase...just gathering parts for the engine and trans install. I should have more exciting stuff to post soon.
In the meantime, here is a photo I found of Little Sluice circa 1926, when it was basically a gravel road. Shoot, I think I could drive my Ford Fiesta through this:

Yeah, seriously, I lust over that M715 every time I go to Jim's shop. It belongs to JP Magazine and he is doing a complete re-build on it. Check out the issue on the stands now ("April 2012") of JP Mag on pg. 72 for the most recent article on the build.

Oh Hell Yea!!
I just came across this thread and am stoked to see it come together! I love your approach for this build, very cool.
My wife and I are building our JK to run the Rubicon this summer. We don't have a clue when, we just know we're going!
It all started in November right after we got our JK, I thought, lets go run the Rubicon, she said let's do it! I can't wait to get up there and see it for myself first hand, as long as I get my build done. Thankfully I'm ahead of the ball right now but I still have a lot of work to do! (and money to spend)
Good luck with your plans, I hope everything works out well. You're rocking it so far that's for sure! I've enjoyed watching you and your son's videos by the way!

Nothing better together than BBQ and axles! Actually, I'm just taking up space in the shop right now with all the parts we are assembling. We delayed the tear-down for a bit, so Jim is all yours.
