Played master mechanic and replaced the drivers side turn signal housing from when I hit the deer. Yup super productive 4 days home...lol
Also bedlined the replacement front clip and center section, hopefully I'll have a new front bumper and I can be productive when I get back from Jersey again.

EDIT: saw that you said wheeled. Here in my area, people throw deer on the top of their truck roof and come 80 on the highway

All on private property. 5mph was going fast. It was sketchy though, lots of things trying to kill tires, radiator, and brake lines.

I blew a brake line...hard line from HSU to hose on drivers side front. Looks like a dealer only item. Bubble flare on one end double flare on the other. If I knew what size fittings to order, I would try to make my own...I hate ABS lol

auto zone has a mix of tubing and flares they helped me by mixing 2 with the right coupler!
i never thought there were so many types. i gave up doing my own doubles and didnt hear of bubble till jeep time last month.
btw my experience is that when you loose the rear brakes ,the pedal goes to the floor even if the front is good??
thats on different cars,not just jeeps.

Ball joints new (Spicer), wheel hubs new (Timkin), steering box new (A1 Cardon Crap alread has sector shaft loose/leaking), trackbar/bracket new (RC), control arm bushings new, steering linkage off JY ZJ.
I'm gonna plate the frame, balencer tires (never had this done ever), and fix the castor (3" lift using stock control arms), and finnally replace the steering box with a S10 4x4 box. Then I'll go from there, other than that the only thing I can think that it may be is the ZJ linkage I got is bad.
And as for the cracked frame, what do u mean drill? Lol. Is there a trick I don't know about, I was just gonna plate it with flat bar.

Replaced both relays on the putco headlight harness finally. It will be nice having high beams again.
Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Couldn't really find any info on the wiring of the putco itself. So educated guesses were made. I guessed right btw.

Accel Distributor Rotor
AC Delco Wires
