Fabed up and installed a snorkel on my Grand today. Its ugly but is air tight.



Now I got to figure out why my belt starts squealing when I turn on all my lights.

Swapped out the Truetrac in my front axle for a Detroit and prepped the axle so it won't take very long to put it back in tomorrow. Was out for some trussing. Drilled the knuckles for my new heims for my steering.

finished making some upper control arms for it last night and installed them. very happy with the results. the new ones allow more flex, are longer, and stronger than the stock ones. and it corrected the pinion angles cause by the JK LCA's

Replaced my broken electric radiator fan with a new one.

And when I say broken, I mean it. Half the fan blades were broken off. Sucker shook the whole Jeep when it came on...
