Been a while since I posted.

Bubba can be so frustrating sometimes. Look closely and you can see where he welded over the original fire extinguisher holes:

I had to re-drill out the holes that Bubba had filled and now the fire extinguisher bracket and fire extinguisher are on the jeep:

Hi Zeph and Nick!

Great to hear from you guys! Yes it has been a long time since I have posted. Been busy with work so much.

When time permits I have been focusing on the M100 and just uploaded a bunch of catch-up photos last night if you want to take a gander.
