Got in some stuff to make an all in one on board air. Before I had a small tank and compressor that came with my air horn and used that for my air Locker too, then carried a slightly larger compressor to air my tires up with, well I installed the tire compressor with a manifold and used my sliders as tanks.

If you want to be sure, you could get the four ramps you need. Drill two small holes near the bottom of reach ramp, and attach a 12-18" piece of fabric or rubber (ie- carpet strips, floor mats) of the same length to each ramp.
You can set them directly in front of all four tires and then drive forward. The ramps won't be pushed because the weight of the Jeep would be on the strips you attached

Cancelled my insurance on the Jeep. Parked it & disconnected the battery.
A few more weeks to set up the shop. Including a camera security system and some crazy Hyperikon LED lighting.
Then the build begins!

Used an easy-out to get the broken part of the oil sender right angle out of the block (successfully without cursing), installed new oil pressure sender, new cap and rotor, installed new radiator and "high-line" instrument cluster that I got from pick-your-part last Thursday.
Painted my new center console, third brake light, with SEM grey paint.

The right side of this climb was washed out so bad you'd have needed 50+ inch tractor tires to make it up. So we cut up some fallen trees on the climb to the left of it and were using the MJ as a log puller to remove the trees from the path....
Nice... what are you plans?

lol... yeah it's a little goofy lookin'. Kid wheels the **** out of it though. It'll go just about anywhere the yellow one on 35s will go. 16 year old kid owns it. He's been wheeling since his legs were long enough to touch the pedals. In fact, he's the reason the rear quarter panel is missing on that yellow Jeep in the pic lol. Layed the Jeep over onto a rock on one of our trails, then steered out of it. I think of him like my kid brother. He's into about anything with a motor.... which sounds very familiar.

Will do. I haven't had problems in the past with heims, but I've toyed with the idea of cutting some Delrin spacers/washers to account for some of the play. I know RuffStuff makes some for TREs to eliminate tie rod roll.
