Today i was able to get everything squared away with motor and wires. Set the body back on the frame, it took quit a bit of time lowering the body down using the jack stand and engine hoist method. I had to lower in stages making an attempt to keep the body nice and level to keep from setting...

Update on things, i received the harmonic balancer, power steering brackets, and all the jk stuff i sent off, minus the pcm,at the beginning of the week. Yesterday I mounted the balancer back up and was able to line up the pin holes first try, thought it was going to take multiple attempts. I...

Update on progress this week. Had to pull the harmonic balance because the reluctor ring was warped, sent it back to MoTech to be outfitted with a new ring. Probably damaged during shipping, Ace Ventura pet detective style. I was able to get the gm wiring harness run, swapped out the exhaust...

The last two days have been progress but on the small scale. Spent monday try to get the alignment of the a/c compressor pulley just right, I also go the shift and t case cable bracket mounted up. Had to do a little bending and trimming to clear the drive shaft. This morning i remeasured the...

Today went pretty well. Motor and trans are bolted up, one side mounted up no problem the other side i had to loosen hydraulic mount from the block a little to get the holes aligned just right. Finished swapping out the input shaft on the transfer case. Spent a little time chasing down a input...

First "real" day of getting the jeep put back together. Spent the better part of the day test fitting the engine and trans in the frame mount and transmission mount. It took quit a bit of adjusting to get things to line up just right. Once that was done i measured and remeasured the frame mount...

The wait is over had some goodies show up today from brown Santa. Also started mounting up the freshly painted beadlock rings, diggin the black on black. Hopefully I'll have the motor sitting in the frame by the end of tomorrow.

I t will be very rewarding to say " I did this" when its all said and done. Just hope i get to that point without too many issues. Today i painted up the frame. Prep work is a pain, pressure washed, degreased, scrubbed, degreased some more, wiped down, and hung plastic sheets in the garage...

Motor is pulled and started welding long arm brackets

Separated the body from the frame yesterday evening. For doing it in the drive way things went smoothly.

Finished the long arms on Monday and started the tear down for the up coming ls swap. Just about ready to pull the body.

Started installing my evo double d long arm upgrade kit. Got the front finished up and started cutting on the rear. Bolt whole in the front bracket is a pain to get lined up. Other than that things went pretty well.

Mounted up the engine to the trans today Ordering kit tomorrow. Ready to get this thing rollin'

This my Bully Trucks, great Jeep dog.

So I some how managed to get a bubble in the sidewall of one of my nitto trail grapplers. I've got almost 20k on my tires so really hate to replace that tire so it can be a tailgate ornament. My thought is to get a good tire repair kit, any suggestions on a good kit
