I'm still really surprised at what my jeep was able to do with the current set up. I didn't need to winch out or wish I had lockers. But I will soon have lockers so the plenty more fun to be had!!

No one was injured from the use of a highlift jack.

just placed and order for 1350 axle yoke and transfer case flange from JE Reel for the PR60. ill be calling back for the Drive line order once i get the measurement.

Now just need to think of a reason to tell the girl my Jeep needed to stay over night at a friends house while waiting for the shaft. lol
 
Also decided to take a trip Down to my local shop AKA Geoff's house and get some work down. Got a late start to the day so didn't get everything I wanted done.

Started off first with headlights. Just when I thought everything was going to go easy it turns for the worst!!!! Plugged everything in and I didn't have brights. They wouldn't turn on in any position. So after some further diagnostics by the shop manager (Geoff) he figured out the dealership switched 2 wires. So we had to basically redo everything they did. But their wiring job was really clean.

But now I got some good eyes back on NABOO!

After the headlights we got working on the builder corners. Been very excited for these!

With the sun going down by the time we started drilling I knew we were only going to get one side done.

What would be a day that Geoff doesn't drill or cut in my jeep?

All measured up and ready for holes

IMG_7644.jpgHad a lot of fun helping you work on Naboo yesterday. Good thing we had another jeep or two laying around to go look at for reference on figuring out our wiring issue we ran into. I wonder how long, if even at all, the dealer duders could have figured out that they made a mistake when they re-wired the headlight harness plugs.

Going to be awesome, but man does cutting that much scare the shit out of me! Looks like it's paying off nicely.
 
This is how I left things tonight. Hopefully the paint with cure overnight enough so I can get things put back tomorrow.

Well not exactly this way. I did finish painting them. Lol

Got everything mounted up and wired yesterday!

It's the details that count. Last screw putting the tail lights in; in the dark again.
