While going to tighten the rear I decided I was gonna drive it back just because and started the jeep up to notice it said it was in neutral (shifter in park). Tried changing a few times with it to stay in neutral so looks like something is broke under the console probably.
 
Mounted the ram earlier today. Didnt really wanna mount it to the trackbar mount but after some looking figured it probably be best easiest option. The lines were also about put to their max right there so Im definitely gonna have to get some new ones on the way.

After that started to build a skid for that and I figured it would also work great as a place to connect the winch to for suck downs. Ended up doing it all out of 1/4" so should be pretty damn tough. Ended up making it a bit wider so the ram would be covered even when it was fully extended. Figured if anything it would help protect the tierod some more too.

Now Im to the point of gusseting this thing up so hopefully it will take a serious beating and stay in place. Here is what I got so far. Few more to go and then it will be time to start burning some stuff in.

Earlier I found that under he jeep the shifting rod just popped off which i thought was odd but its back on now. I also made a longer set of lines for the ram.

After that filled it back up with fluid and got the air out. I actually drove it out the shop under its own power for the first time since November (video https://instagram.com/p/BIiVA6Rg2sM/). Im going to try and take it over to an exhaust shop tomorrow and then when it gets back ill finish up the ram skid, tcase skid, need to get it aligned and bleed the brakes again because they are 4-5 pumpers at best lol.

Its hard to believe that its actually close to be wheeling. I cant wait for EOS run myself.

Rad build !!! Looks great [emoji106]
very nice!! love the updates!

Thanks guys

Looking good! Anxious to see the finished 1/4" ram Skid! I'll be fabbing one for mine when I purchase it this fall!

I am too. Once I get it back from having the exhaust done I plan to through it back on the lift and get those last things done.
 
Took the jeep and dropped it off to have the exhaust done this morning. Guy said I should be able to come back and get it later on today which would be nice.
