    Getting closer and with the new axle I don’t have driveline bind at full droop!

    It’s already starting to get hot, but I’ve got some good forward momentum going!

    Took me a little longer than I wanted to, to get the axle under the jeep. I also took a big break because it was 108 degrees today. But it’s under now just to start bolting it up.

    Got everything all laid out for the outboard shock mounts. Used a pice of high carbon 1” round stock for the spacers. Couple more holes to drill and the axle should be ready to go under the jeep.

    Pro rock 44 install with EVO coilover kit.

    Another question for those that have done this install. I’m preparing the new axle and the shock mounts on the pro rock are slightly more outboard than the stock axle. Should I run a small spacer to install the lower coilover bracket? Pictures for reference

    This was never intended to be a combination. But with the wrangler not up to a 1200 mile trip, we’re talking the compass. It took some trial and error, but ended up making a new draw bar for the trailer. That way we don’t have a Rue Goldberg looking hitch setup. Much happier how it’s sitting now.

    I heard about this. I think they should tax the EV clowns by mileage. I already have to pay fuel tax I don’t want yet another tax to pay.

    I have a buddy that has one of those. Definitely a neat addition to the tool box!

    Well installed a new drag link end and found out rather quickly, that wasn’t the issue.

    I’ve been digging in more. Just had the kid in turning the wheels and the drag link end was popping. I’m gonna start there.

    I think it’s the axel upper control arm bushings. They seem too have some play when I force things around.
