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.

Installed a block heater wiring kit in my 15 Ram. Block heaters are an option for some stupid reason.
Then I built and installed a new tie rod for my XJ. 1.5" x.250" DOM tube with 3/4 ton Dodge rod ends.

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

Got the shop up to about 80* today so I could get the soft top back on the TJ in preparation for the Windrock throw down in a little over a week.

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 can cut and in theroy weld.
But not on anything that my life or another person's life depends on, as a rule of thumb.

I LOVE your Jeep! That wheel base looks perfect.

Ever since the stretch I haven't had reverse lights, fixed that today. Pretty dang bright for what they are.
I don't see any difference...

Yeah I probably should've taken a pic with them lit up, as @CasterTroy said the two leds in the center of the light.

Well, it's back out. Still trying to figure out my lock up problem. And damn, have I said how glad I am that I put ball flanges on my exhaust?

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.
