been awhile, but got the ball joints done finally, new axle shaft and fixed all the damage from the last trip out. Still got a few things to do, but should be ready for a mid-month run to the glacier now that everything’s frozen up

Sure half tons sounded cool at the beginning of this year, but these one tons sounded better... also snagged a complete 99 4.0 harness and computer to swap out the 2.5l when the time comes.. big big plans for this lil Jeep

Been making some pretty solid work on the one tons. My goal is to have em in around March to kick off the summer wheeling season. Also plan on picking up the motor today for the stroker build as well as getting rid of the 2.5l

Lol what is going on with your factory upper arms still hanging in place and your lower arm brackets still attached? Nice looking build otherwise.

Got the axles all ready for brackets. Hopefully gonna order the new gun for my Lincoln and some leaf perches and burn those in, gonna try and get down to one of our local Off-road shops and price out an artec truss for the front through them. Should have the housings ready pretty soon, then just need to order gears, install kits, wheels, and some 40s

Well after a year of being on long arms, I finally managed enough time to cut out the factory control arm brackets. They’ve been bumping my arms for awhile, but nothing’s holding back up travel now other than my fenders. Time to bumpstop!

Picked up a set of wheels for the tons today. Leaf perches are on the way for the rear, just need to order rebuild kits, gears and lockers, the 40s, and the artec truss for the front and she’ll be ready to wheel again. May rock the roller for a bit until I get the tires the jeep will be sitting on

Rolled the rear up under the Jeep to get some measurements for perch locations.. all I’m gonna say is I can’t wait lol. Should have the weight on the rear this week or next, all depends on when the perches show up
