ya, didnt take too long

 

[YELLAHEEP]

Uh, I think Led sold you a bent housing....... :looney:

 

[in4aride]

no, thats for optimal rock catching

 

[kastein]

that was my first thought too... "holy hell is that housing bent!"

 

[in4aride]

Well, with the time crunch Ill have to wait a lil longer for aluminum links. Have some steel ones built for now. Hoping to pick them and my front axle up this weekend. Get Heather Larson 's jeep and get mine back on the road. Have a house of jeepies

 

[Kiefer316]

Soooooooo uhhhh since you now have u-bolts and plates is the 9" in yet?

 

[in4aride]

Oh of course. 9" is in and hoping to get the front in this weekend.

Thanks again

 

[jmaxj]

you gonna do a rear truss on that 9" so you don't have to put in a new one later and do it all over again?

 

[in4aride]

already has a truss with upper link mounts

 

[jmaxj]

already has a truss with upper link mounts

i know, i'm saying a truss that goes the length of the housing in the back from disk to disk to keep the thing from bending or breaking. 9" tend to do that if used hard.

 

[in4aride]

Oh yes, But the plan is for a new housing

 

[in4aride]

So. Some progress. Holy wow what a busy day. "Finished" up the lady's new rig this morning. Went to the springs, pickin up my links and front axle. Went to a BBQ with some people from Heather's school. Got front axle painted up, link brackets frame side drilled out, axle under jeep. Steering installed (minus trac bar - more drilling out), hydro needs mounted up (more drilling), picked up the tires and wheels from old place and installed on the rear. Holy EFF is the jeep gonne be bigger - WOW!!!!!!

As it sits right now WB would be just over 106, might pull it back to 105.5 but we will see how it all looks with tires and everything installed. Need to mount drag link on top of the pitman arm to make room for tie rod on up travel (itll make sense in the pics)

On to the Sh!t you care about....PICS

Oh and her new ride (Thanks Yella)

 

[YELLAHEEP]

Oh and her new ride (Thanks Yella)

Man, that sure is one secksi XJ. Looks awesome with those "33's" on it.....:laugh3:

Hurry up and get that budget boost on it...... :banghead:

 

[in4aride]

"You're a jerk for telling him that"


:roflmao:

Ya I might wait til i can get shackles for rear instead and some nicer shocks to mess with all that. Damn thing got near 20mpg with that 44 and some other crap in the back and her, uh, calm driving

 

[YELLAHEEP]

LOL...... Her? Calm? :laugh:

Just tell me she still has the S.E.G. on her face now that she has her XJ...... :thumbup:

 

[in4aride]

She wants to go camping just to use 4wd. she is a dork - and loving it

I am suprised you didn't throw that roof on troys trailer when ya dropped off heathers heep.

And its lookin good! Let me know if ya need to borrow a sawzall again to cut some more junk off!

 

[in4aride]

Gonna try and get the jeep on all fours tonight. Even if not running down the road, on its own weight will feel great - so gonna pull a long night if need be

 

[in4aride]

Upper link, trac bar, and bleeding brakes tomorrow. Then should be able to take around the block to test it all out.

Thanks Kiefer
