Got word today my Axles are done. Picking them up Monday. Can't wait to get these swapped in.

That is exciting news.

Getting more work done. Getting very close to getting these under the Jeep Now...Just 2 more coats of black on the axles and I'm ready to install my Knuckles, Bearings and Brakes over.

Not bad, tops where super tight. Used a Press on those. Other then that install was smooth.

Cool, good to know. Got a set for my super duty axel.

I ran into a small clearance issue. They said it happens with about 5% of the JKs. I've got to shave a little from my Outer yoke and a little from the lower nut. Not a huge deal

Went to bolt on my Front Track bar mount. ran into an issue there too. The last owner reinforced it by adding a plate to the outside. Which I have to grind off before I can mount it.

Once I get these 2 things done. The axles should be ready to install. Would have done today, but we had to paint a Car in the shop today. So no grinding today.

Shafts installed. Had to make some adjustments to make everything clear. While I was working on my axles UPS dropped off my Motobilt Rockers.

Axle turned out great! Those knuckles are massive

 

[Elroy231]

Hard work is paying off. That is a solid looking axel. If they only stayed that clean.

Got my Motobilt Rockers painted and ready to install.

Tried to get my Tierod finished today. Welded the Bungs on and one warped on me. So I've got to cut it off and already ordered another.

 

[run2jeepn]

Swapped Radiators. Got rid of the junky Mishimoto one for an OEM Replacement.

Pic of the Rockers painted.

Cut the Tierod Bung off and ordered a new one. Should be here Tuesday.

Spent a good hr cutting and grinding to get the extra plate of steel welded to my factory track bar mount off.
