Just drooling over the pictures my bro sends me is all...lol

 

Came home and got right to work on my bumper.
My bro primered and painted it while I was at work.
Got my winch mounting holes drilled and my winch mounted after I mounted the bumper.
I absolutly love this thing

 

Man no love for the bumper or new front end?
Started setting up my gears last night. Got this pattern at 3 am and called it quits. Gonna have another stab at it tonight. I think I just need to shim the carrier away from the pinion a bit

 

Dang guys I'm just talking to myself here ain't I! Lol
Anyway, got a great pattern and backlash on the g2 4.88s in my 8.8.

coast side



Almost ready to go back under the jeep!



Setting those gears was by far the most difficult thing I have done on this jeep. But, well worth the effort to have a rig built by me and not someone else!

 

Great job on the regearing...how did you get the info to set it right?
Bumper looks good man....can't wait for action shots!!!!!

 

I watched ALOT of YouTube videos and read a ton of write ups.
But thanks man, I really like how it all turned out.
I'm going on a night ride this Saturday I think so we will se how she does.
Ohh and I bought new meats.
35x12.50r15 km2s from 4 wheel parts.
They get put on tomorrow!

 

New tars

 

This build looks awesome

 

Well thank ya partner!

 

looking good... hoping to get a winch on my front bumper

 

If I wouldn't have found mine for such a good deal(220$ new)
I would have saved for a warn. Can't go wrong with one of them

 

Had a horrible binding and grinding when turning.
Immediately pointed fingers at the locker.
Got myself a rebuild kit and got to work. Shimmed the drive gear gap and replaced the pins and springs.
Works perfect now

 

Got rid of my t case drop.
It pulled my motor rearward and every time I accelerated it would push the motor and ended up ripping the bushing lips off my brand new brown dog motor mounts.
Tim sent me a bushing 're build kit and I took off the t case drop. Motor is where it should be and I don't even have drive line vibes.

 

Did the Durango steering box upgrade. So far it feels good.
Quicker lock to lock turning. Feels like it can turn the 35s better

 

Nice! You've came up fast!
