Umm.. for sale?
 
Placed a big $$$$ order with ECGS on parts to repair a rubicon locker failure in my TJ a couple days ago and received everything today. Decided to go with ARB locker, ARB dual compressor, inflation kit, and a Yukon master install kit for quality bearings. Gonna be a few weeks before parts are installed just couldn’t pass up the discounts that ended today for all the parts.

Credit for having the guts to ask, but as I said, dad bought it special order, brand new, and still has the window sticker. In short, not a chance at this point and time.

Then I probably shouldn't mention the truck that bed on mine came from, and will be going back to, is a 79 2wd original Lariat truck with cruise control and factory (not dealer installed) air conditioning. It was a factory 460 truck, currently has a 429 in it, and will be getting some love after my work truck is back on the road.

Once the work truck is back running, I'm gonna take both my boys (6&4) for a ride, and they will be the third generation to enjoy the truck, in its third incarnation.

I have absolutely nothing from my father to pass on. I wish like hall I had something cool like that to share with my boy
 
Replaced the front sway bar links on the wifes 2010 Escape after getting new crugen HT51 tires and a 4w alignment last week.The Ford drives and rides better than when It was purchased w 60k and now it has 160k.The last set of tires were michelins and these Kumho tires might be better than them.
 
Let the kids "drive" it.

Slapped some Dirt Bound Offroad armor on the back of my DailyDriver, took the fenders off and trimmed the openings larger. Then ran a strip of molding along the edge to 'church it up' a bit.

Rivnuts suck btw. It's so hard to line them up... I'm going to dremel the openings out a bit to get the other bolts in.

That's a nice looking rig!
 
Got mine together enough to pull it out of the shop for the first time in a long while.

My youngest decided to come out and climb around in it, while I did some cleaning.

Started the prep for the rear locker replacement with an ARB. Got the M.O.R.E. mount and dual ARB compressor bolted in the engine bay and measured for the line that will run from the compressor and locker manifold that is mounted to the inner fender. Need a 24” NPT line and the system comes with a 12” line for some reason. Once I get a longer line made I’ll finish up the air lines and wire it up and will be ready for the locker to go in. My sorry ass didn’t take a single picture of the work on mine or the coworkers JK rear axle bearings and seals me and @josh$$ installed for him today.
