Weekend is over...what did you get done?

[High2by]

Nice kicks, what lift/tire setup is that?

Thanks. The tires are 35" Nokian M/T's. I really like them but they don't make them anymore. I've had a couple sets in the past and they have served me well.

The lift is a mix of everything I think. I've got RC 4.5" leaves plus an RE extended shackle plus BrianHo's shackle boxes in the rear. I think I'm around 5.5-6". The front coils are Coil Spring Specialties and I'm running the TNT long arm kit. I've had lots of fun with this Jeep and I hope to get several more years out of it.

Added a new sticker to the collection...

Should be good for another 5....maybe 10 HP to the wheels right?

My stickers are welded on! :thumbup:

Prepare for breakage! Color looks almost the same as mine, brings back memories of the rebuild on the stand.

Make sure you run a tap through those bolt holes before installing any engine mounts or accessories. I've broken off bolts in them with just gunk in there, nevermind a layer of paint... not a good day. I run a tap through every single one before using it now - they're all SAE coarse thread IIRC, so fairly easy to figure out which one needs what tap.

Jk rubicon 44 carrier bearings are hard to find! I need one, I'm rebuilding a tru-lok diff and had to pull one bearing.....now I can't find one

Is it just the camera playing tricks, or is the crankshaft white?

Too bad she needs her dd back tonight but I found a place in town that stocks them, I have to pull the old one for a number today. All this technology in it is difficult to work around.

 

[shortxjdoug]

Oh yeah.....I got this done last Friday.

It is partly because of the cleaner the machine shop used and that is was not super cleaned. Just cleaned and polished journals for installation.

Nice!

The deck was looking kinda rough.

Not my typical fab project, but got it done none the less.

Had a friend with a little Kawasaki Super Sherpa dual sport bike who wanted some custom side bag mounts, and a rear rack. He is gonna finish them with paint of his choosing....3/4 Welded tube, 14ga wall, etc etc.

Here it is all finished up.

Front portion of the rack also doubles as passenger grab handles, since the OEM handles were removed.

You are a very talented fabricator. My hat is off to you.

Man yall's MJ makes me miss mine so bad! Very glad you decided to salvage the truck and save it from the scrap yard. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing it all finished and turning rubber again!
