Installed 4.88's, a truss and Yukon shafts 8n the rear. Put 35's on it all today.

Next weekend I'll gear the front to match and build an anti wrap for the rear.

Doing a few minor things in the midst of my larger projects. Talking the flares off to clean under them, particularly the back ones. Also took the rear inner fenders out to clean. Gonna clean underneath inside the rear of the tub. A little rusty on the passenger side. Gonna paint in there after it's clean. Thankfully one of the POs replaced the Sahara flares with black plastic and decided to use these fasteners. [emoji849] though they did leave one nutsert, which is of course spinning.

Also me and @adamk got @k5-1402 Jeep wrapped up Friday night. Old track bar bracket was trashed and the frame had a pretty large crack in it. Just waiting for the bumpstops to come in tomorrow to finish it up the rest of the way.

Did you tap the factory box for that set up? What kind of pump did you use? Looking for parts to do mine.

Stock box just drilled and tapped. Pump is stock too, however you can do a flow mod if it doesn't react fast enough. I'll shoot you a list of stuff you'll need.
 
My jeep is now back on the road thanks to tires from @C.Berry and wheels from @UNCC-CRAWLER. The first open road test drive was a little sketchy.
I had a bent rotor which actually cracked one of the pistons in my front right brake caliper. The back right caliper was dragging and trying to catch on fire. The steering was twitchy but tolerable up to 40mph, and above 45mph is certain death. Now time for an alignment!
Edit: That caliper was only a couple months old. But they have a lifetime warranty.

I LOVE your Jeep! That wheel base looks perfect.

The yoke nut on my rear drive shaft pulled a Houdini on me and my drive shaft quickly let me know by knocking repeatedly.

It's the same as the front output nut on a 231. Whatever thread pitch that is
Thank you, I have a new one ordered and will be here tomorrow! I had a weird noise when I was off the throttle, it was a vibration. I couldn't find what it was so I decided to see what would happen. Well I found it and about had a really really bad day.
