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.

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
^^ good and cheap low-tech solution.

Wheeled it.

Don't have pics to prove it.

But I wheeled it nonetheless.

sometimes it's kinda hard to hold onto a camera when you're rollin' up and down the trail at the time.

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.

Haha... yeah I was at the top of this one....




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....

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.

Artec truss and OTA bracket, Synergy gussets, CavFab track bar and steering. Also some new Centric high carbon rotors and Black Magic brake pads. Just need a longer bolt to hook the stabilizer back up.

Let me know how long your steering heims stay good. Mine wore out quick and I haven't found a way to set it up without them wearing out since the weight of the steering is always wearing on the heims.

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.
