Pretty sure he's done since he's guiding a ride Saturday.
I'm actually in a borrowed TJ this weekend(completely stock so it should be fun). With paying jobs, setting up the shop with new tools, build setbacks, planning a wedding and then flying to Houston to help my future father-in-law rehab his house after Harvey, it's still not finished. Long story short, I had to buy a whole new axle just to get new hubs for the rear. The wheel bearing races had spun in the hubs and I didn't catch it during the initial build. I just rebuilt it again and its back on all 4. I've driven it here and there just to start breaking in the gears. I just finished building a cross member for the anti-wrap bar at lunch today. I'm hoping to pick up the needed DOM for that bar tomorrow at lunch. Below is a list of all items to complete. It seems like this list is just growing as I find better ways to do things haha.
Anti-wrap bar build
-purchase DOM
-weld in cross member
-build anti-wrap bar (lower will be adj on one end and upper will be adj. on both)
Ebrake Cables
-extend ebrake threaded rod
-tie up extra length in cable to keep out of spinning objects
Exhaust
-Everything from the head back is being replaced
-Purchase down tube
-Purchase muffler
-Install all new stuff
Rear shocks
-Cut holes in floor for shock hoops
-weld on frame stiffeners
-mount hoops
-weld in shop tabs
-mount shocks
-tie shocks into cage
Steering
-Not 100% sure what I want to do here right now. Been playing with ideas. I've got new track bar brackets for frame and axle side and also laying out some high steer plans.
TC Skid
-simple flat skid mounted to trans cross-member and anti-wrap cross member
I'm sure this list will grow. There are just so many little things I've done over the years I want to change. I guess I just need to know when to stop haha
In other news, we got a lot of new toys in the shop. Picked up a Lincoln 216 from a buddy, got a tubing notcher, built spare parts shelving, and a ton more.
