Pull spare axles from the junk yard yesterday. ($36 + $3 core) x 2. So about $80 for stuff I won't use. Plus the axle will likely be replaced with a D44 in the next 6 months. Oh well, not a cheap hobby.

Like everyone, I really like the Rig. IMO it would look better even with some chopped up flares to match your trimmed fenders. My '89 was that nice, well about 10 years ago haha.

C-Rok steering reinforcement installed. It was somewhat of a pain. You'd think the difficult part would be enlarging the holes and driving the spacers in but that was easy. Aligning the steering box took me like an hour. But it got done.

Upgrading to WJ master cylinder and booster. Some things are different but I'll make it work. My only concern is the setup looks longer and might interfere with the air-box.
