I hate painting things. I'm so impatient.
Painted the calipers and the rear brackets (fronts are already done).
While waiting inbetween coats I did the front axle u-joints as well.
10 Factory 35-spline alloys with Spicer x806s.
Oh and Carmelo pulled through with some awesome stock Envoy bumpstops. Progressive and they squish down to 2.75" with the back weight of the MJ on them. They're going on the back, Kia's up front.

Long overdue for an update. I HAVE been working on it, just slacking on taking pictures.
To start off, the rear is all buttoned up. 5125s (255/70) 11" travel are in, bumpstop extensions made and put in, UHMW pucks done with recessed bolts. Had to do a bit of grinding on the rear hubs to fit the H2s over them, and also cut down the Yukon 35-spline rears.
Leftovers
Also, made a rear driveshaft. ~49.5" from center of u-joint to center of u-joint. Next to a stock XJ front automatic driveshaft for comparison. Stock front shaft is 2 x .120" DOM, mine is 2.25" x .250" DOM.
Also finished up the front Kia bumps with some 3.5" UHMW pucks on the bottom with recessed bolt heads.
And buttoned up the front with the 35-spline ECGS drive slugs.
So the big part that has been causing me pains for the past few days were the 10Factory 35-spline shafts. When I first put them in and tightened down the spindle, the shafts would bind up. After thinking it was a bent axle, bent spindle, crappy casted knuckle, etc. etc., finally figured out the inner shaft yoke ears were binding on the inner C. A little grind work (doesn't void the warranty) and I'm all set. A little binding every now and then, but it should self clearance as I can spin the yoke by hand through the bind.
Also have a new front driveshaft on order from Tom Woods. They're going to do some grind work to a 1310 CV to get me 35º of travel up front so I have 8.5-9" of travel instead of the 6-6.5" I had before (stock goes to about 28º).
Tomorrow I'm going to start working on the fuel cell by modifying it to accept the YJ pump assembly, as well as builidng the mount in the bed for it. Should have an update by tomorrow night as well. I took 5 days off from work and plan on spending every minute of it on the MJ I don't go back to work until Tuesday.

Thanks guys! I might actually try rolling it out of the garage if I have a few helpers today.

Adam got the rear drive shaft rebuilt and balanced for Colin.
Took a little weight but should be good. :thumbup:

Who welded those rings on? Looks like some really nice TIG work.

A friend works with a guy who TIGs boat towers or something. I paid him a few bucks to weld all four on. They definitely came out really awesome.
So...this was the main attraction yesterday
Adam was a huge help yet again yesterday and rebuilt my rear driveshaft as well as painted the underneath while there was room, meanwhile I worked on the fuel cell mount. We then got the hydroboost mounted with the master cylinder as well.
The booster is out of an '03 Superduty with ~68k miles on it. We basically redrilled the mounting plate, and then cut the pushrod and welded the MJ rod to it.
Today I'm going to finish up the fuel system, and then probably make a slave cylinder bracket if I have time.
