5-Speed, The angle looks perfect! have you taken it out for a run yet?

 

Center punched, tried the slow and fast speeds on my drill. It feels like they catch on something somehow and then the just come apart.

 

Replaced the fan clutch, and washed it, took a pic yesterday and the rest today.

 

Took it out for a quick trail ride yesterday. Got her nice n muddy for the first time in awhile.

Washed it this morning then spent a couple hours in my dorm parking lot removing my JCR frame reinforcement plates. I plan on bringing them into my welding class and modifying them to have d-ring brackets and a brace between them.

 

Nope not yet. Put it back on the ground around midnight. Still have to tighten up the shackle bolts and tq the lug nuts. Will do some testing today and report back.

 

Got everything buttoned back up and took it around the block and up to my test area. It rides so much better its not even funny. Feels like it cut the spring rates in half. So all that is good. The shackles however, bottom out on the relocation box before max compression. I had a good feeling that it was going to happen. So I will just wait until the new shackles come in and then call phase 1 of the Jeep done. New shackles should also drop me another inch. Still sits a little high in the rear.

 

Well yesterday finished up my axle. And today I pulled the transfer case for a sye.

 

Removed my headliner and cleaned the foam and glue off of it. Black headliner to be affixed tomorrow.

 

trying to stuff the rear end under the jeep !!

 

Nice work , it's coming along

 

got the trans out for rebuild

 

Took a picture of it. Also I loaded it up with 15 bags of mulch the other day and now that they are removed, my Jeep sits more level now.

 

Replaced one of my failed HID bulbs

Put a sticker on
