During our last trip to Badlands. I noticed a lot of noise coming from the rear end and I had yet to replace the droopy rear Left Leaf Spring.

First off my newest addition to the Garage my father's day gift. Check out the shiny Red tool box woo hoo.



Jacked up the Waggy to get the spring off



The Shim on the spring was broke also.



Anyway for the noise in the rear end. Cheapo Autozone brakes, the hardware holding them in place failed. So looks like I will be taking the junk back to get new junk. The drum is pretty glazed now so I will have to buy new drums.



Break and more Beer. Tess working on here heep. She changed out her broken fan shroud so she doesn't chop off her fingers when raising the hood and the engine running.



Got old Spring out


New spring in place


Final shot of Tess taking of her Skid plate. I am giving her my Disco's cause I don't use them



Got a line on some 31's from Dude hope to get them soon. Will be putting them on mine and Tess will take over the 30's.


Anybody have a clue what these would be worth.

When welding the floor early on, do you remember what settings you used?

Hey XJ Stryker, I know now what you went through. I'm in Puerto Rico and going exactly through the same with exactly the same waggie, 87 wagoneer limited.
Same rusty floors, same or worst sludge on the engine, F*** up tranny, the diference isthat I had to rebuilt the engine head because of the sludge, way too much.

But man, I know how it feels, its worthy the effort

nice build!

I'm dreading the rust on mine. The rockers and floor are shot. I'm also having an issue with the back driver side shock. Looks like I'll have to cut into the floor to get to them ...grrr

certainly an inspiration, thanks for posting

Thanks. Truck is broke at the moment. Not too much left for me to do at the moment the rest of the mods cost lots of money so it will be awhile before I update again.
