-Get radiator tubes finished and mounted
-Move upper link on the front suspension some
-Pull 14B and shave the ring gear to start on the 14B shave job

Just ordered these...

Those look good Keifer!

I replaced a TRE and some brake parts, and greased every zirk in the front. It goes, it turns, it stops. Life is good!

Now one question stands. Should i paint them White to match the jeep Or black to also match the jeep?

Just about ready for summer! I've been bad and haven't done a couple of maintenance items that need attention. Ball joints need to be done. I think I've got the dreaded oil filter bracket o-ring issue. Better get to those things soon...

Done, and done.

Next on the list is a set of spare shafts that I'm gonna get from Troy this week. Will probably load them with some 760x joints and throw them in the axle, then use current ones as spares.

Then a rear bumper/tire carrier. I don't wanna have to spend that $$$. I may try and go with the Detours Tailbone to minimize the sticker shock.

I managed to get one of my glass fenders built and mounted (not finished or painted yet). I put a build thread in modified tech.

Oh, and the hybrid cage is done.

 

[Kiefer316]

Just ordered tail lights and signal lights for the boxes i ordered. I went with this style! I really liked em. And just a traditional amber for the side and ill get some lense tint for those to make it all look better. http://vehiclelight.com/1tl13ri.html

Damn heater core.........

So far cage is done for now. HID's with upgraded harness are in. Winch is on with synthetic line. Front bumper is half complete but usable at this point. New balljoints and alloys go in the 30 on Sunday.

Went over to Matt and Davids place last night for the new axle shaft install. While they had their 35's off I threw them on my heep to see if I need to do any mods to get some on mine.

I really like the low and wide look

The back looked pretty good

The front not soo much!

Going to have to shorten the sliders a bit. I could barely turn without hitting.

After the swap I noticed, two of my ball joints are seperating. They must be the clunk I feel and hear when I hit bumps.

Gonna go to 4wheelfarts and get some new ones this weekend and hopefully replace them on monday.

Just finished the hinged crossmember mod.

 

[Fred]

In the process of???

 

[time2getdirty]

Building a new bumper. I need to put my winch somewhere right?

 

[in4aride]

gonna reinforce it now?.... i guess i dunno what your plan is?

 

[time2getdirty]

kinda like this, but different in many ways.
http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1046775&highlight=oil+town&page=3 The radiator mount is still very strong and I rolled the top edge so it is very stiff now.

 

[in4aride]

interesting.. i like how his turned out

 

[time2getdirty]

Hopefully mine will be tighter to the body, for some reason he kept the winch more forward than he needed too.

remember to leave room to remove any and all pulleys if need be
