When I sold the Jeep a Navy guy bought it and took it south past Bakersfield.
That one your talking about is a Rubicon. That TJ is a beauty.
Isn't that Bondsy's ride in one of those pics?

Yeah that's BONDSY's Jeep there. I think that's before him getting 37's??? I've got more pictures of that trip. I'll post those as well. One of the pictures that I have, I just could not believe how the guy kept his bead.

Found the pictures that I was talking about. I only have a few but it was a great time since it was my first off road. I have some videos but will have to figure that one out before I post. The pictures of the old Jeep is a guy that almost rolled the Jeep. Check out the tire thats in a taco.

Took a while to figure out how to use youtube but it's uploaded. This is the same run that I did with BONDSY. The guy we went with had a FJ on 33's and he is trying to make it up a ledge. All the Jeeps made it up but this one guy and he ended up going around it after I stopped recording.

Dana 44 Chromoly Axle shafts
I received my Dana 44 Chromoly Axle shafts. I started to get everything out and noticed a huge problem.........They sent me half C-clips so I ended up calling BONDSY. He said they did the same exact thing to him and they actually also sent a Dana 30 U-Joint. So it sounds like I have the exact same thing with half C-clips with a Dana 30 U-Joint. Wonderful. Well now I get to call Alloy USA on Monday and I thought this would all be in by this coming weekend!!!!!

I just opened up a ticket with Alloy USA on the damn U-joints that I received. Looking at the pictures of the Dana 44 U-joints compared to the ones that I received are not a match. This will set me back for a good two weeks but at least now I can order a good amount of differential fluid off line.

Not That Kind of Engineer
D rings look good! Of all places on the frame, jeep had to put that sticker right in the way on the passenger side.. and I'm not sure what kind of sticker that is. It's impossible to take off. You going to flush the ends?

I'm not going to cut the ends off. If I was going to I'd have to remove the D-ring mounts completely out and then cut but didn't feel like it was needed. The D-rings fully rotate with the frame not cut. Thank you for the support.

I didn't know how important the sticker was since it had a barcode and a date on it so I have a good picture of it on my phone then put the d-rings on

Flexing
I decided to flex a little bit to see what I need to do with the lift or seriously go with a new lift. Well it just made it 100% for me that I need to change the lift or do something drastic with the lift. The rear tire photo the tire is off the ground a good 3-4 inches and that's not except able to me.

Looks like your shocks are maxed out.

Think I may need to remove the shocks in the rear and measure for a new length while flexing.

EVO sliders
Well I feel super stupid right about now. I decided to check out the EVO sliders what they looked like and what did I find.........That I did not need to buy DOM tubing and flipping the rear bracket would have worked!!! I've had these damn things with me for a good 2.5 months thinking they would not work.........Well at least now I can get them on. I did however prep them for welding and thinking I need to primer them here soon. I'm think the tubing that I bought might work for a tie rod bar. I'll have to talk with some people.... :crazyeyes:
