  • It's sitting on its own weight as of tonight.

    Tommorow I gotta go grab some u-bolt yoke straps for the front driveshaft and it should be moving. Then I have to figure out the brake situation, we bled them tonight but the pedal is still real soft. Plus I think I have to compress the calipers, they are clamped down on the rotors right now.

    Then hook up the steering.....and that's all that I can think of right now. There are still a bunch of odds and ends but I don't see why I can't technically drive it tommorow.

            I still have a ways to go before it's "trail ready". It would have been a fun time if he still had his white XJ though, my setup will be very similar.

              Updates include:

              -Rusty's 3.5" packs with new bushings, I plan to beef up the pack with around 4-5 more flatter leaves to lower the pack slightly more, along with HD Offroad Engineering shackle relocation sometime in the future. I also have to throw in a set of 3" coils that I have laying around.

              -Threw a ZJ front shaft in the front, turned out to be perfect size. I think I'm going to sell the 1350 yoke for the rear, and pick up a 1310 so I can run a ZJ/5spd XJ shaft. Something about having the weak point at the t-case doesn't excite me.

              -Ordered materials for a new heimed panhard from Ballistic.

              -Welded my new 1-ton steering and installed it.

              And thats about it, "Is it finished yet" continues to drag along
