SYE swapped and tcase put back into the jeep. I suck at getting pics of my progress, lol.

Tomorrow I am mounting up the longarm crossmember and hopefully cutting off the LCA frame mounts.

I am trying to take advantage of the cooler weather=D

 

Sounds good Timmy!!! I have made a command decision on my build, too. I will get the axles fixed up over the next 10 days and the lift, axles and tires will go on Great Whit the weekend of May 25 and 26.

 

Longarm cross member installed.

Also got 1.5 of the lca mounts cut off.

Painted my calipers to the same sail blue as everything else.

Got my buddies ball joints pressed in and also mine.

Pressed out one UCA bushing on the axle. OMG what a PITA.

Sorry for the crappy pics.

Im slowly getting there. By the end of the weekend the axle should be painted and prepped to put under the jeep. =D

 

I'm really liking how you are painting all of the pieces underneath "Ole Blue" blue. Its a bright blue too. They will really stand out.

 

Thanks Buck, I think it will look good! Coils, trac bar, steering, longarms and shocks are all blue. lol

 

I can't wait to see this beast in person!!

 

haha me either! crunch time for it is after memorial weekend. I plan on getting alot of progress done in a short amount of time.

 

Too bad I won't be able to make the rim rock trip! Too broke.... Just got back from a last minute funeral in California. $600.....hope the steering works for ya you'll love it....

 

sorry to hear that bud. The run is in naches=D Sucks that you cant come, my passenger seat wil be open or one of my backseats if Buck comes! age over beauty buddy, haha!

Got those knuckles drilled out and inserts put in, fits like a glove!

 

We shall see but I'll keep the offer in mind! I had to spend another $200 today on a ****ing hub for the Ram. IFS can go **** itself

 

Yup, $200 a pop for hubs. I just swapped both out on the D-max. A nice D60 up front with manual lock out hubs would be a beautiful thing.

Timmy, if it's age over beauty between me and Alex, that would land him up front...LOL!!

 

Buttoned up the front axle today.

New ball joints, upper control arm bushings, fresh paint on axle and diff cover.

The jeep will be back on all fours by the end of the long weekend. So anxious!!

 

Axle looks good, Timmy. can't wait to see it all together with the blue pieces under the Jeep.

 

That thing will look sick with color matching DIY bead locks!

 

Got some stuff done today. I think its looking pretty good!

Got axle and longarms, steering and tires all put on






Rebuilt both drivelines to
