Heres what I did today...

Haha, yeah a little camera tilt perhaps, have a hard time holding this phone with gloves on. I'm 5'6" and the rigs rear roof was at my shoulder. So it was nice incline. My hitch clearly shows that lol.

Great meeting you the other day BTW Tim. Looks like you had fun at Trails Rd for sure.

Lemme know if you find those shims - I'll send you a check to ship them to me :)
 
Dropped it off at draken offroad yesterday, when i pick it up it will have 456 gears set, the front will have the aussie swapped to the new carrier and the rear 44 will be in with 456 and a detroit

Should make it pretty capable

Yea i knew you would be happy with the tires...

But i got XXXXed, the shop just called the detroit i bought is no good, the collars where the bearings press on is no good, too small cant press bearings on them, they fall right back off

So i gotta bring that back to the guy and get my money back, i leave for two weeks of training monday, and i have no carrier for my 44 now
 
Got my XJ back on the road again ... Put in 6 new Injectors lol now to drive the minivan 2 hours with the wife and 3 kids ... bleh
 
Put in my YJ box and got the new bumper on
YJ box is much more responsive than the XJ box, seems to turn much faster from center. its also nice for the jeep to track straight and not just take off on the highway out of nowhere.
 
FINALLY got my other two wheels painted a few days ago. Re-mounted and balanced the tires (TOTAL PITA!!!), Re-installed the spacers and put the wheels on. Love how it looks...

are you sure the bearings were the right ones and not defective? I'd try one more set before trying to get money back

That looks good! Real good...

I'v been thinking of painting my Canyons a dark grey.

When i went to the offroad shop to pick it up i could feel how messed up the collars were the bearing set where. I got an open carrier sent to them and i'm going to throw an aussie in it.
 
Went to the local u pull it and got manual window regulators for the rear doors. Then came home and painted up my JCR one ton steering. Will be pulling the front axle tomorrow for the following: lca skids, boxing passenger uca bracket, aussie locker, 4 ball joints, Solid diff cover and prepping it for otk steering.
 
don't forget to raise that trackbar mount for the OTK!
 
you better not be paying to get rid of that!
