Well just set the jeep back down. Got the hardlines fixed, and the brakes bled. Got it on charge now, think I may have fried the battery...it's got a warranty, so no biggie.

Well, put about 100 miles on it today. Locker is fine on the street, and really gets it now that I have double the traction. Brakes are working, but still have to do some bleeding. Ordered all new stainless lines, so I'll wait to mess with em until I swap those out.

I just try to stay connected. Send me a pm and we'll keep the clutter down.
Christmas season is super busy here, so haven't got anything major done. Suspension is ordered, and brake setup is mostly ready. Only remaining question on the underside of the jeep is going to be wheel hop. I'm gonna see how bad it is after the new springs, but I'm hoping to get away with just a modified form of a traction bar. If it's real bad I'll end up going with floaters and ladder bars

Just busy working, and trying to get my other projects done while I'm waiting on jeep parts. That being said the parts are starting to ale their way here.
Got my new ball joints with adjustable camber. Should make it handle better, but I'm a little worried about tire wear, if I keep them rotated, then it won't be an issue, but that means I can't run a staggered setup. I guess we'll see.

Got some more of my upcoming suspension upgrade in. Upper and lower control arms. Stronger and lighter than stock, along with having solid poly bushings.

Got my knuckles in the mail today, they are in awesome condition. Hopefully will have the rest of my parts by the end of the week.
