Started on the front axle Saturday.
Got the knuckles mounted up.
Painted parts, silver for arms and diff covers.
Still need to paint the tie rod, draglink, and trac bar silver.
Hopefully my boss will give me the ok to work on my Jeep in the parking lot so I can use company welder and stuff.
Looking forward to getting this thing together soonish.

With the help of 616_95xj I was able to get the long arm crossmember bolted on, after a few slight modifications.
Replaced the trans mount with a poly from daystar, ended up lifting the t-case up a lot.
Replaced motor mounts with the poly Brown dogs.
Install of the brown dogs wasn't too bad, struggled more with getting the crossmember together than anything.
Overall feeling great about things pecking away at it.
No pictures of the crossmember right now because it wouldn't be justified without the arms.

It's the drive shaft.
When I neutral the engine feels great.
Just really bad vibes from the shaft.
Time to get on that sye.

Coils are on there way along with bushings.
Doing the rear axle this weekend.
Maybe try to get a few more things done with the front.

8.8 is working great.
Got my 5-760x u joints in, going to install with full circle clips when I get some clips.
I need to order another drive flange for the 8.8 because I want a spare.
Still need to get my rear shocks dialed in but I want to install the new ome stuff first, which means I need the front axle in at the same time.
