Started making my boatsides. Still waiting on my dimple die set to get here.

 

well not to day but i havent been on in awhile so here it goes.
jan 1 took it up to the marys peak tallest point in Oregon's Coast Range. pulled a couple rigs out. then got myself stuck on perpose at the top and proposed to my GF while she was in my jeep.
then had to have my buddy with his 12,000lbs winch on his yj chained to a duromax pickup pull me out. got to the bottom to air back up slipped fell under the rear of my jeep luckly i threw the winch in the back while i was going down. ( strained my shoulder and most of my core muscle on my right side doing so) the winch put a half dollar size hole in my floor board.
today i tried to clean the inside of the jeep but didnt finish so she sits on the curb for now.

 

Congrats dude! Assuming she said yes lol

 

thank you she said yes got it on go pro will post link another day when im able to. if she hadnt said yes might have had to walk lol jk jk Im Kidding. our first day was florance always remember the south jetty wall. then proposed in the snow all in this xj. she has already said the the xj is what we will be leaving in after our wedding.

 

That is beautiful.

 

nice. might have to steal your idea to use on my gf. been looking for ways to propose. all though wouldn't have to purposely get stuck, pretty easy to do in my rig lol.

 

WIN!

 

so I haven't done this yet, because I need help with doing it. if anyone can help me, plz let me know. I need to install all my tie rods and a pitman arm, and my drive u-joints.

 

Ordered new tires

 

The tie rods and pitman arm are fairly easy. For the u-joints however, you'll either need a hydraulic press or a big honkin' table vise and 2 sockets. One big enough to "catch" the bearing cup and the other, small enough to push it through.

Oh, and if you're using u-joints with offset grease fittings, make sure the fitting points toward the drive shaft. I accidentally installed mine with the fitting pointing toward the yolk and had to take them out and do it all over again, because it was physically impossible to get a grease gun in there.

 

You can caveman ujoints in/out with a hammer an appropriate sized socket and a block of wood. Just make sure you don't **** up the needle bearings when you drive the caps on.

 

That's weird looking. Which Wrangler series is that? Mine are duratrac.

 

I almost went with the Duratrac, ended getting the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar. ordered 31x10.5x15's that get here Monday. Il get some pics.

 

You don't know kevlars?

 

Smart decision.
