I hate nutcerts, especially after realizing I put one in the wrong spot[emoji35]



Fancy. Plus it covered up that dent.

Had 5:13’s slapped in and some Synergy Ball Joints.



Contact



Control arm mounts need some attention.



I really need some new skids. Underside has taken a beating.



And apparently so does my body. I guess I took a drop off hard and the rear bumper got into the tub.

Tera Flex brake line things do not work with the Metal Cloak out board shock mounts.

So I have a set if anyone wants them.

Outstanding build buddy!!! Very well documented. I really enjoyed seeing all the pics and reading about how you spent your way into Jeep heaven and the poor house all at the same time. LMAO!!! You have a great wheeler and the stones to take it there. I had a fantastic time wheeling with you in Moab. Hope to see you soon. I’ll get started on my build thread soon.

Thanks Clay. I feel like I have missed a few things on the thread. Can’t wait to do axles upgrades and 6-Packs. That’s when things will get interesting. I will be breaking out the sawzaw!

So a lot has happened in 2019. Especially since August 2019. So I am going to do my best to update this as time allows. Being that I’m on the deer stand and nothing is moving, I may get you all caught up lol. So here we go.

I started to get a vibration and thought I might have bent my driveshaft. Turned out to be a bad U-Joint. Pretty easy fix to do.

So I get to figure out how to do body damage repair and replace a rear shaft. I was able to drive out. Clean break. But now the REAL fun begins....TONS

They have arrived. Waiting on ring spacers now, shop forgot to order them in. Once in, I will throw in the balancing beads and torque down up all 5.
