Trying to make a charity ride March 14th at AOP for a friends nephew who was born with a skin disease. Never been to AOP and I think it'll be a good first run. Might try and go to Chocco for a shake down before hand if I can get someone to go with me whenever I get a weekend off.

Marcus, you have an open seat for RBD on that Saturday?

I hope to make it to AOP for my first time for their New Years event. Let me know when you plan on a shakedown run, I may try to come. As of right now I have a passenger, if something changes I'll let you know.

Here are those lower link brackets I was talking about Will. It made life much easier mounting a lower link on the driverside of my '86 Ford 60.

Those are nice. I might have to spring for those. I still need to get the axles off the trailer lol. Ho bag at HD Offroad has really good prices from Barnes 4wd through NAXJA so hopefully on Black Friday I can save some more doll hairs.

Brian at HDO is getting me 15% off Barnes plus his discount. Should come out pretty good. I haven't worked on the Jeep the last week. I got strep and a sinus infection and feel awful.

Brian at HD Offroad saved me about $80 and hooked me up on one of his 3 link brackets. Everyone should get a quote from him during Barnes 4wd's sale!

Forgot I had money in my Paypal so it was an even better surprise. Hopefully I can get some TWF PVC inserts this week too. Hopefully I'll actually work on this thing soon.

I am going on that ride in March. Should be good. If you decide on a date for Chocco let me know. I might see if I can go up there with you. Looks like a pretty good place.

I've been sick this past week and a half so I haven't gotten a whole lot done dealing with that and some friends coming back to town for the holiday. I did a little today though. Finally brought the axles in after sitting on the trailer for a month. Got the rear cleaned up and sorta stripped down. Gonna open it up this week and look into welding the LSD carrier and shaving a little of the housing. Got my leaf perches welded on today and set the pinion angle as best I could with how I think it will sit at full weight with a spare, trail gear, and tube. Got the ruffstuff swap kit for free from Huntingman, saving $120 on that was probably the biggest reason I didn't decide to 4 link it right off the bat. Along with that all adds up pretty quickly and I need to study up on all the numbers with a triangulated 4 link.

Anyway, pics:






























Once I am 100% on the pinion angle I'll burn the inside of the perches on as well just cause I can. Gonna be the only thing on the axle tube other than a traction bar. I'll weld the tubes to the housing and call it a day.

Is the relocation bracket pushed back now? Looks like you ties into the bumper.

Looking sweet man.

94XjSport94

Yeah. I took the bracket off and milled the frame mounting holes out to let it slide back as far as possible. Has 2 bolts on the bottom and is completely welded to the bumper. I'll probably use some tube to tie the front side in to the frame.

Awsome man. Can't wait to see it done.
