what no lift shackle bracket are you thinking about getting?

 

HD Offroad. http://hdoffroadengineering.myshopif...ation-brackets

still looking for some 2" shackles, maybe the Teraflex ones.

 

Put the new Rubicon Express HD track bar bracket on as well as replaced the RE1600 track bar heim with a better Ruff Stuff heim. The clunking while turning is finally over. Highly recommend replacing the weak stock one, started to bend after only 1 wheeling trip. New vs. Old
This is what was causing the clunking


Aresfab steering on the way, and got some new Spicer Ball joints throw in aswell

 

Folded the rear fenders. They came out horrible. Especially the passenger side since I had a nice rust hole on the lip.




Drivers side went alittle better after realizing my screw up

 

Always do the passenger side first because the drivers side is the one you have to see every time you drive it haha

 

What is the inner dimension of the mounting area on that re bracket? 2"?

 

I'm not sure, I'll check tomorrow morning

 

Won't be an open diff peasant by the weekend.

 

Past couple night got super foggy, visibility down to a few hundred feet at best. Was in the high 50s and a few car meets popped up, was a nice Indian Summer to get out again

 

hey man, could you post up part numbers for your track bar and track bar bracket and that ruffstuff heim? my track bar isn't working out

 

Rubicon Express track bar: RE1600
Rubicon Express TB bracket: RE1665
(2) Ruff Stuff miss alignment spacer: 34-58SS
Ruff Stuff heim (left hand): R1047
Ruff Stuff jam nut (left hand): R1415

you will have to drill out the track bar mounting holes on the bracket to 5/8".

 

THANK YOU

 

Picked up a pair of new-to-me knuckles. Going to clean them up, ream them, and put the new ball joints in so I don't have to worry when I ultimately break my abused ones off because they're seized. Aussie lockers should come in tomorrow, and steering hopefully soon.

 

Hindsight is 20/20 but you could have gotten away with a fraction of the cuts, I did maybe 10-12 cuts per side at most. The flat areas really don't need extra relief cuts, you can bend them over as one long section and it helps to keep a nicer/straighter line. You can always sand them down some, massage it more with a hammer and use some body filler to smooth the whole thing out.

Nice jeep by the way. Subbed

 

Gunna try and get the old man to let me use the garage all weekend. Snow is supposed to happen though. I need to do the cowl intake, finish fuel tank, and rewire fan. Then we can do yours if its ****ty out.
