Hahahaha, I was thinking the same thing. You know how many people go to work hungover. I'd much rather wrench on my own jeep after a glass of wine then have someone that doesn't think they get paid enough and are hungover wrenching on my jeep. That way I know what was done and how it works. I feel much safer that way. I had a shop work on my vehicle before and had a 1/2 drive ratchet fly out from underneath it and hit the car behind me on the interstate. But hey, it was done by a professional...

Didn't mean for you to take it personal I was just looking out for ya. My bad.
 
Spent the evening cutting and grinding on the new rear axle. The ud60 brackets are actually thicker then the Dynatrac brackets which caused the Rockstar skids and rear trackbar brackets to be modified to make them work. I talked to EVO and they are working on making a bolt-on kit for these axles. He's the one that told me Dynatrac uses 3/16" thick brackets and Spicer uses 1/4" thick ones causing the evo brackets not to interchange between the to axles. Hoping to get the rear in tomorrow. Have to be completed by Sunday, I have an appointment to have the driveshafts shortened on Monday! Getting excited.

Rear is under the jeep! The calipers are so big on these axles that I've had to do some modifications to the bolt on kit.
Getting there. 5.38s and 35's.
Land speed record coming soon!

I'm going for 10" lift, high center of gravity, and lots of torque!
