That's awesome bud, prayers sent to you guys. I'm sure you all had a great time and I'm sure Jakers enjoyed every minute, man's best friend!

 

[HILLZ]

Hope your doing ok brother, very sorry to hear the news about Jake. Don't want to think what i'll be like when the time comes with my two girls.

 

[pvanweelden]

Thanks Scott and Hillz, we had a great weekend with Jake, he was a little restless last night, taking it one day at time, and making him as happy and comfortable as we can.

 

[MattAlpha]

I see a few steak dinners in Jake's future! Prayers your way for more good days.

Thanks Matt! Today was another good day for Jake
Vet told us Thursday to give him anything to get him to eat, including McDonald's cheeseburgers, lol. So with that and the cans of wet food, he is definitely eating pretty good. Bolt is jealous
Jeep related- I got my Ruff stuff beef today- 1.5" dom tie rod with Chevy ton tie rods- took advantage of the 20% Halloween sale- shipped for $150 with the tapered sleeves

You won't be disappointed with that tie rod Paul. Mine's held up great on my mall runs, Great bang for the buck.

Seconded. I was a little worried about having to ream the knuckle, but took a shot and ordered it. It bolted on just fine and has held up great! I have zero worries about bending it.

Sorry for your loss, hope the remaining one gets over it quick, since they tend to be affected a lot, had that happen to my female boxer when my big male (her dad) passed away.

That said, I just came upon your build thread, and must say that I was somewhat suprised with you choice of soft top, given that it robs a lot of head room for big dogs. I can't see Bella trying to fit under that slant.

 

[pvanweelden]

Thanks Wes and Greg and Lepags21!

I had a unused factory softtop that came with the jeep, but i sold it a while back- i agree with you Lepags on the loss of extra head room for the dogs with the trek top, but i only run with the windows for about 2 weeks in early spring and two weeks in the fall- so the dogs are completely open in the back. i just switched to the hardtop for winter, and it snowed today

Jake is still doing good, being spoiled and still happy. We have been blessed.

Happy Veterans Day to everyone who has served our country and given my family freedom. Thank you!

Hows that tie rod coming along Paul?

 

[pvanweelden]

^ Wes, so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog over the weekend

Unfortunately, Jake passed away Monday morning. He was a great jeep dog, and a great family dog. We are extremely sad, and lost without him.


Later Monday, I received the slabs from Scott, they are going on the jeep tomorrow.

sorry to hear about Jake Bro, best wishes are with you and the family.

 

[Sharkey]

Sorry about Jake. Pets are family, and their loss is never easy.

 

[David1tontj]

Sorry to hear about jake. Are you guys going to get another lab? There is something about puppies that helps heal.

Let's just hope if you get another, that he doesn't chew your jk seats like the Cherokee!
