So should it rest in the "0" position if caster is on point?
Zero means no caster lol. You technically should be getting an alignment but that is beside the point. Caster should be reading positive 4-6 I think mean top is towards rear more than bottom and makes the vehicle drive better.
Yea I agree alignment is coming since I will be putting new shoes on here once the front end springs are in. With any lift you should always do alignment. At that point hopefully what I can't fix now they will fix. Thanks for the information and sorry I'm illiterate to this suspension stuff and have no idea. I would like to put on discos eventually as well so I do want to make this right. I know some people go without a sway bar and just get used to driving it that way but I still needed to make sure axle is aligned properly so nothing else happens.
Floor all button up. I did the cheap route because I'm not even going to keep jeep more than a few years and figured it is my first so its probably going to receive a beating before it heads to the grave yard.
Rivet and seam seal floor in. Rivets are in place I still need to pickup seam sealer today.
I know I know welding is the ideal way to do this but I didn't want to mess with that and paying someone to weld isn't an option right now so I had to just do what I had resources for.
Regardless I know it will hold up, after all its still a brand new floor pan and not patch. I did have issues lining it up as it does not quite fit like factory setup did. Drain plug holes, seat posts bolts holes, etc. So modification took place to make it fit right. $60 later and at least I have entire brand new floor in from front to rear seat.
Never mind those couple rivets up front the studs didn't break off so I since cut then off. Also added more rivets than this shows. Took the photo before finishing. Ill get better photo once seam sealer is down and bedliner.

Seam sealer down. I took photos after I primed it but too dark to tell. I'm happy and its finally coming to a end with this floor project. Later this week I'll lay down bedliner and then entire interior will be done with bedliner. I can then finally start putting plastic trim back on and center console and seats back in. I hope this weekend I'll get started on my leafs. Been a lot of work going on with Jeep lately I may have to take this weekend off for some quality time with the family.
No pictures to prove it since I'm at work and only checked my e-mail to verify they arrived. XJWonders sent me out my new to me transmission mount so I'm excited to get that in. Hope that goes smooth!!! Next up will be his motor mounts.
Also, the Rough Country hardware they forgot to send me or whatever the reason was showed up so I can finally bolt in the cross member side brackets.
I don't know if i mentioned this already but I did take the jeep outside of the garage for one to sweep up all that left over dirt and metal shavings from cutting LCA brackets off. I drove the jeep around the block and felt great. Some creaking but I don't suspect that from the lift but rather just worn out suspension parts waiting paitently to get replaced.
Dang buddy, I take a week off and you've done a zillion things by the time I get back!
Yea it is coming along pretty nicely!!! I'm just getting impatient and although I'm trying to do things right the first time I'm also willing to just get it done. First Jeep and it is not a show jeep by any means so I'm happy how it is coming together!
