I'm avoiding my control arm issue for now. One set of brackets is about 1/2" forward than the other. My new brackets will be here tomorrow. I'll move them when they come. Been working on the upper radiator mount. Need to finish trimming the tubing to fit. Sent from my SM-G950U using...

I went to start building my shock mounts and my axle isn't centered to the chassis. I did some measuring and found that my driver side frame rail was an inch further in and a 1/4 inch lower than the passenger side. BABOOZLE helped me get the rail to match the other. I had centered the upper...

Took off the old power steering pump brackets, cleaned and painted them. I was going to install the new pump, but I didn't have the right bolts on hand. The new pump is metric. I started working on mounting the radiator. I finished the lower mount and tacked it in. I figured out how I want...

Driver side shock hoop is in, still need to final weld it. The bracket is tacked on and the a pillar tie in is half welded on. I made a cross member to tie the two hoops. Might redo it and bend it forward to get more room in the engine bay. Sent from my SM-G950U using WAYALIFE mobile app

Mocked up the driver side hoop with the a pillar tie in. Had to cut a lot of fire wall to allow the hoops to tie into the lower corner of the a pillar. Tacked on the a pillar tie in on the passenger side aswell. Sent from my SM-G950U using WAYALIFE mobile app

Worked on my TJ today. Had a starting issue. The ignition switch actuator was broken. But I picked up a new grinder and did a little tube work to the passenger side before I have to go to work. started to reinforce the shock hoop. Sent from my SM-G950U using WAYALIFE mobile app

My TJ randomly stopped starting. I have a red top optima that's only a few months old. I had the starter checked and it was fine. Did some research and found out it might be either the ignition switch or the ignition switch actuator had broken. Dug into the steering column. took out the...

I got the driver side shock hoop bent, only for my angle grinder to go down. I have an angle die grinder, but I don't want to listen to an air compressor all night. Sent from my SM-G950U using WAYALIFE mobile app

Going to get some more tubing before I make a second attempt on shock hoop. Go the rotors on and the calipers on. I need to weigh this axle once it's done. Has to weigh at least half a ton. Sent from my SM-G950U using WAYALIFE mobile app

Haven't been able to work on the jeep a lot the past few days. A friend needed me to machine some wheel spacer. I bent a shock hoop And it wasn't quite how I wanted it. Didn't take the length of the bend in account when I cut the tubing and bent it too far and it's too tall, but that's an...

The rest of the studs and nuts came today and I was able to mount the driver side high steer arm I cut tube, squared it on the mill and mocked it up. The front axle is very close to being finished. I'll cut spacers for the heim joints on the knuckle and weld together the tie rods. The upper...

I took the front passenger tire off, the kingpin spring housing off and mocked up a high steer arm. my son was a good help. drilled the hole for the bolt that puts it in double shear. just need to torque the nuts. I have more parts showing up tomorrow. Should be able the finish the...

My high steer arms came today, the nuts, bolts and studs are on they way along with the upper shock brackets and heim joints. started welding the roof of the role cage together. Had to get creative to have "floor boards" to make welding easier. Sent from my SM-G950U using WAYALIFE mobile app
