In process,
Dana 35 is out- amc 20 in place, will button up the rest tomorrow after work, main goal today was to get the axle under the truck.. an hour and a half isn't that bad is it?
Sucks that I have to do it again but it's all worth it at the end right?
And after a few years of ordering I rockauto to try and get This specific magnet and I guess the stars aligned, I finally got it! Whoo!

Not that I didn't like the axle, it's a beefy 1pce design, when I was planning to sell the truck due to a backfiring issue which I fixed, when I decided to keep the truck I wanted to keep the axle for a future project of a 6cyl Comanche, and swap in a 29 spline 8.25 and throw in a lsd and 4.88s into this one, But code enforcement came by and I got rid of the 8.25 and kept spare parts from it and threw back in the amc 20...

I know I bashed the poly brown dog motor mounts for being to rough (too much vibration) but I decided to give the rubber ones a chance, considering I was looking the other day that the tip of the bolt for the passenger side motor mount is only about 1/2"-3/4"away from the alternator power wire. I decided to get the mounts for stability and if I'm offoroading I don't want issues later down the line....

Lol, if you don't mind the wait...I know they'll be worth it at the end...
Outlaw star has them on his truck and they are stout and look really good!
I couldn't stop looking at them when I went over his place, I wanted my set so bad!
Heck, I haven't had the chance to set mine up....

yea a guy in our club has a swb MJ with his sliders. It took him almost 4 months to get his. My experience with my XJ Roof Rack was enough to swear me off of his business. I am going with KristyBawler Fab's Sliders. He is also working on bedside flares to match the Hooligan front fenders.

Sliders look good.
Ordered my set as a Christmas present on December 26, 2016.
Per the FedEx delivery tracker they will be here Wednesday January 11, 2017.
Would challenge any other fab shop to beat that product delivery.
Love the rear bumper installed on mine as well.
