  • Today we continue work on Denny's LJ. Big changes as we get it sitting on its own weight. Unfortunately lost a day of footage but luckily it was the best day of stuff to lose.

    Thanks for watching everyone! Do me a favour and share these videos with people you think may enjoy them so that we can do bigger badder builds in the future! 🍻

    Bruce, I just watched your never say can't documentary. Indomitable human spirit is what you exemplify. But I think even higher praise might be your ability to just be a dude that other dudes and dudettes would want to hang out with in the shop day in and day out. Grinding, cutting, measuring, welding, thinking, calculating...in other words just being a dude. I don't know what person on earth wouldn't want to be out there in the shop slogging through these builds with you. No glamor. No glitz. Plenty of struggle, but just getting it done and being real. Thank you for being a human being. You've touched a lot of lives in a positive way over the years and you're still doing it today, by just being yourself. I appreciate the hard work you and Denny do and your willingness to help others . You should easily have 10 times the subscribers that you have now. They'll come eventually. Don't second guess yourself or the path your on. It's the right way.

    Looking really good! That's definitely going to improve the ride and performance. Using plastic pipe to mock up and get proper lengths was a very good idea; that's a trick I'll remember for the future.

    Note to self, when my rear track bar wears out I can save the replacement cost by simply 4 linking the rear. Seems like a far cheaper solution as I'll never have to replace a trackbar or trackbar bushing for the life of the jeep. Lol

    I have helped install a few long arm Jeep suspensions in my day … I just looked up retail cost on my favorite kit from Rubicon Express for an LJ … and have a lil sticker shock just on the component cost … their is a whole lot of bang for the buck in what we are getting to see Bruce and Denny do here … and to come out in a ball park of 100hrs labor with the transformative results you guys are about to see …will probably be priceless for Denny! Looks like Dennys well on the way to having a sexy & functional undercarriage … hes going to have all kinds of envios pack members sticking their noses under there to see whats what!! 😎

    Not sure if it helps, but I’ve had some luck with using a data recovery software to get footage of a SD card. Sometimes the audio isn’t great or resolution looks wonky, however for the most part I’ve been happy with what could be saved. Great job on the build!
