I finally cut the stinger off my orange flattie.

flattie no stinger

I'm never gonna finish connecting the cage through the engine compartment and up to the stinger. Besides, it's always in the way either on the trail, in the garage, or on the trailer. My oldest son will be bummed because he likes to hang on it like a monkey bar, but I'll buy him a swing set or something and all will be well.

4. If you like it so much, bring your yellow flattie in the office. I'll weld it on your Jeep in the parking lot with my Miller Passport Plus. I cut it off flush. It'd take a few minutes before we head to lunch.

5. If my flattie wasn't as nice as it is, I'd do a motor/suspension/axle swap and take you up non it.

6. So, what you sayin?

7. Ok! So you proved yourself correct. it does look better without it. Being a flattie w/o the bar, that is. As you asked readers a while back for our thoughts, I was against it, but I like it now. I also offered to 'recycle it' for you if you were to cut it off. My Tj is needing something up front. I'll drive to Wilshire Blvd and even help you weld it on. I'll bring lunch. What's your favorite 'cold-adult-beverage'?

I'M NOT KIDDIN' 'ROUND HEA!!!

Do you need a story on a virgin-DYI-er working on a 231? There's bound to be some good laughs!
