Rear end 90% done. Just need to cut off the old tabs and weld in a different style for the shocks. Currently sitting at 5" in the rear, 2" in the front... Hopefully gonna start getting the long arms in tonight for a total of 6" in the front

Kinda made a mess tonight lol.... Front ends on stands, crossmember assembled, and long arms done except for a missing bushing I'll grab tomorrow. Should have her all bolted back up tomorrow depending on how long it takes me to replace the water outlet housing on a buddies bronco and other things.. Ready to see how she's gonna sit, then it's back to getting the heep running again!!

Still waiting to hear back from IRO about the missing flex joint for my other control arm. But it's mostly bolted up. Went from about 20" of down travel from fender to top of the wheel spacers to around 29.5". Can't wait to get her out on the trails 😁

Got a response from josh at IRO about my missing joint hopefully that shows up soon. Also picked up new u joints, a starter, and got my distributor warranty replacement after it broke. Hopefully she'll start soon!

Just installed the warranty distributor and new starter and it won't even crank anymore -_- gonna try and pull codes tomorrow to see if I can track down what's going on in the heeps brain... Hoping the ECU isn't fried cause they are spendy!!

So I ran codes to see what came up and this is what I got from the pcm. I don't have a/c and my cooling fan is wired to a switch for river crossings and such. This brings me to the map sensor. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that would be a vacuum problem? So I should track down the lines and check everything to ensure its getting air. Maybe someone can clear that up if I'm wrong or further explain it so I know how to correct it!

Got the rear shocks mounted up and ready to rock. IRO sent the other flex joint i need to get my lift done and the 50" should be here tomorrow. Thinking I might have an ignition issue as we were able to jump the starter off of my friends battery, but don't get anything when you turn the key. So we'll see once I get the new battery hooked up and check all my grounds to double check



lasted me about 10 min haha
