I like most of yours, a couple get wordy and long but most technical stuff I do I'm following a forum walkthrough or doing something not all that original.

haha, yeah, that's basically what I do for most of mine. when I watch a video on how to do something, I don't just watch one, I watch 5 or 6.

Man.... I really need to reconsider monetizing again. I didn't make a dime from it before, but with the content I have yet to upload, maybe that'll change :dunno:

Plus side to crazy hours is a bit more income:thumbup1:.

Haven't had much time to update here but big things coming soon!!!!

would be nice...lol not going to try to butcher this one up too badly though, first "real" build and all.

Basslicks 01-18-2018 06:27 PM

Lookin' good, Mike. You could fit those with the right amount of trimming and bumpstop if you really really wanted to! :grin:

Almost done with the front, grabbing 2 new bolts for the track bar(hopefully today) and repair the passenger side brake line. Probably won't get much more done until next weekend.

I'm contemplating just cutting the leaf springs and bushings off in the rear to hopefully save the bolts and weld nuts. Thoughts?

XJIrish4x4 01-22-2018 12:39 PM

Interesting if you get that to work cutting it off rather than worry about also cutting into the floor in the rear section. I still have yet to put my lift in and I dread that too.

XJIrish4x4 01-22-2018 12:40 PM

I also didn't catch what size lift your putting into that?

5.5 IRO Rock-link 3 link, was going to get radius arms but lack of funds, procrastination and then working long hours got me into the 3 link.

You're better off with the 3 link than radius arms anyway, man. Good progress :thumbsup:

rcguymike 01-25-2018 02:27 PM

From last night. Looks a bit better. Will be interesting to see wifey get in lol!

Resting on the front axle I got everything ready to start on the rear. Planning on cutting off the leaf springs and shackles and torching the bolts so they don't break...we'll see how well that'll work otherwise anyone know the sizes off the top of their heads? M14x1.5x100?

Also have to cut off the passenger side mount and fix the brake line too.
