Front axle setup pretty nicely. Gonna try and get the rear set either tonight or sometime this week. Should start going together here pretty soon.

Got the d44 out and the superduty in... now comes the fun stuff. Setting up steering, building a new track bar, and getting the wheels on

Those wheels on the jack don't even like to roll over a pebble let alone what I imagine what snow will be like haha. Hats off to you sir

Started getting everything lined up and centered. Slight possibility I may be able to swing a small test drive tomorrow, but we’ll see how much I can get done..

Got a nice middle finger from Mother Nature this morning... didn’t stop much other than wanting to crawl under the jeep to finish up the rear. Anyways got the steering finished up, gonna finish the track bar tomorrow to center up the axle more. Also got the conversion joints in the driveshafts. Gonna finish her up tomorrow, bleed the brakes and see what happens

Brakes bled, rear gears set, and she’s moving under her own power again! 5.38s and 33s sure is something.. lol. Also worked out a deal with a buddy on this sweet mj.. should be picking it up here soon to dd since the hemi is a gas guzzler. Anyways, just a few more small things and she’ll be ready for the first trail run on tons
