It moves under it own power now. I was beginning to think it was welded to the jack stands. Power steering still has an issue with the new box that PSC sent. Hopefully they’ll hang in there. Rolled it out of the shop to flex it and I have to much pressure in the lowers on the front. Wasn’t able...

Thanks guys, here’s some pictures of it sitting a bit lower. It feels like it actually might happen. Talked with the body shop about paint and they’ve no openings for about 6 weeks. Don’t like leaving the shop till it’s done, but if it rolls, we’re going. Took the ride height down about 1 inch...

I would be too. Have fun.

Looks awesome. Are you able to sleep?

And many thanks to you, I appreciate. Today wasn’t much of a farming day so I was able to put several hours of focus into the project. The biggest thing that we noticed today was the Jeep stood on its own front for the first time in months. That was more enjoyable than I thought it would be. The...

Thanks to JT@623s advice, I’ve been working with the guy that usually hangs at the corner near the Walmart. Work, work, work. Rear end parts are in their supposed location. Ran a couple of flexes and everything is good. The E brake lines aren’t friendly. It’ll take some more time to make them...

A couple of other things that he has his fingerprints on, is the install of the ARB. He used a bulkhead style battery connector to run the power inside the body. Also used a bulkhead air fitting to get to the air tank where the locker solenoids are mounted. Did I mention I’m kinda digging the...

Boy helped with some of the chores today. He made a pair of sway bar links by combining the factory front and the rear. I think they turned out great because they are two different diameters. Worked up a couple of rear towers that resemble the fronts and was able to get them back in half a day...

That’s funny you brought up The Who. I was just thinking yesterday after reading a couple of your posts that you’re probably from the era of The Who, and Sabbath. Am I close?

Here’s one that my youngest had playing way to loud when he was in school. Kinda like it, and it brings back good memories when we were working on his bike hanging out in the garage.

This song is absolutely worth listening to. Don’t like many of her songs but this one is good.

We’ve got reservations at Sand Hallow on the 12th. We’ve been going to Moab the last couple and wifey wanted to change it up this year. I don’t much care where we end up, as long as we go. I’m happy with the progress the last couple of days. Small snippets of time spent here and there are...

Good day in the shop today. Fuel tank skid is done. The sump in the tank hangs 7/16 lower than the tank does. I cut a piece of 1/2 UHMW to space the tank off of the floor and cut reliefs in it for the sump, and for dirt and water to escape. The flange on the rear of the skid is to hang the DEF...

Spoke with the wife about your recommendation, and she says we’ll have to set up a charge account because the Jeep budget went dry. Guess caffeine’s gonna have to do. Did get another good day in today though. Tubing is 2.25, .250 wall. Bridge is .188 bent at 60 degrees three times, then doubled...

Back in it, and made good forward progress today. Dana rear is all welded and waiting for paint to make it look pretty. 16 days and counting till we leave and feeling concerned. Moved the track bar mount as far left as we could comfortably, and we’ll have to be happy with that.

So I’m confused on why these are more prone to contact than others. I’m assuming the tie rod offset is standard, so they have a shorter arm on the casting? Giving up uptravel would suck.

Having the ability to lift the body off to work on shit must be really cool. It looks like you’re having a lot of fun. How long is this supposed to take?

Try having someone with a volt meter check the battery voltage while touching the posts only, while trying to crank it. If that checks fine, then put the leads on the cables only, while cranking.

This was one of the albums that you could listen to the end, and start it all over again. And again. And again.
