Had the jeep in to thaw out and figured I'd knock out a few things on the jeep. Got some more done on the pans and then ran outta wire so figured I'd get my mud flaps put on and the fog lights wired in. Hopefully going to pick up the d44 if I can find time this week

Coil buckets with control arm mounts, over axle track bar bracket, and upper link mount for axle side. Hopefully this swap should go pretty smoothly.

Ran into my old daily driver that I built up the end of last year. Glad it's still kicking! Hopefully should be able to get in some wrench time on the jeep today and possibly a drive round town to go pull some unlucky souls out to test out everything lol

Drove the jeep down to my apartment, might have to pull the 38s til I get the axles and gears under it lol... even with 4.10s it was fun. But it got there so that's what counts right? Now to get it back to the garage lol, maybe another day

Got the passenger side front done, pretty crude but it'll work. Sealed on the top half and undercoated on the bottom half. Once it's all done it'll get rhinolined front to back. Hopefully I can get this done so I can take her out for a test this weekend

Got the floors all patched up, got a 2nd Efan to push air through the rad mocked up, just needs some trimming and wired up. Apart from that just gotta finish off the front driveshaft and I'll be able to take it out the weekend to see what she'll do
