trading a friend some parts for some new superwinch hub locks this week so i don't have to rely on the ones from 1979, they will go in about 5 seconds after they are in my hands, pulled the female splined side off a xj front i had and put in on the rear i made so i actually have a rear drive shaft right now, windshield will get replaced this week, and last i should have a rear shock set-up soon and it should be "done", or at least wheelable

[Jeepbonehead]

had to get the rear high enough to get more than 2 quarts of oil in the diff

[wannabejeep]

pretty nifty. Didn't you have beadlocks? either way I'm pretty impressed. How's the steering on the street?

[Pedro]

I think with a sweet set of tires this thing would be awesome... get on that

[grundlepunch]

full hydro with a single sided ram... interesting. how does it respond?

[rourkesxj]

Better than I thought it would on the road and trail (I also run the cb performance pump) I took it out today and was very very pleased with it

[Jeepbonehead]

Drove it to the exaust shop lastnight and there was play in the steering column so it was a little jumpy. Responce in the hydro system was great though. Picking it up a little later and will have pics of the new exaust

New custom exaust

ok here are my ideas on what i need to do to "finish"
-weld on rockers
-finish making traction bar
-rear locker/armor
-tires
-4-point harnesses
-tie in cgae
-tube over cowling
-grill hoop
-gears
-french rear springs/waggy springs up front
(this is not in most imprtant order, or any order things will happen)
--yes i know i will never be "finished"

[Jeepbonehead]

getting hobart 140 mig w/ small tank next week, finally i will start welding my own stuff
