Finally got my transfer case back together, but I couldnt get the right parts I needed so it looks like it's permanently in 4lo for now. With my flatbelly raising the transfer case and where I lowered the body lift the transfer case only hits a little bit by the front outout, but I will get it all clearananced tomorrow.

I redid my front track bar and got it to be about nine inches longer than the previous one. The new packaging should give me room to mount my hydro assist now too.

Dpn't have anything picture worthy but i'm still slowly but surely getting the jeep ready for big dogs. I hit a slight set back today in that i realized i need to run a fuel cell, but hopefully with some luck the one I ordered from summit will be here either tuesday or wednesday.

Gas tank pulled

Was able to get the rear pinion angle set, and tomorrow i'll make driveshafts

I began working on the drag link today, and I decided to go with an inverted T setup. Everything seems to be turning out really nice and my drag link is parallel with my track bar.

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, now I have a rolling and steering YJ. I'm having a hard time finding a place to get my shocks charged so thats really putting me in a bind in regards to getting ready for big dogs friday.

Stuff left to do:
-rear shocks
-driveshafts
-miscellaneous welding and the cross brace on shock mounts
-rear brake line
-install fuel cell

Steering Finished

Rear Cut (Its sitting a good inch and a half higher all the way around then it will at ride height)

Jeep with shock charged

Redoing my front end

Got a good deal on this winch so i figured hey why not

You guys think it will matter all that much if I offset my fuel cell instead of mounting it in the center so i can get the weight a little more balanced?

nope, go for it. It'll make storage in the jeep simpler as well

Yea I figured with the sump it shouldn't make a whole lot of difference. You think your rig is gonna be ready for July 3rd?

You gonna make it?

Its not looking like it now, if I had gotten the shocks charged monday I would have been able to no problem but now I ran out of time to make my driveshafts. I'll be ready for Rausch next weekend for sure though.

Got the fuel cell in and brake lines ran.

Stated on my shock tower brace

Some poser flex so I can figure out my front driveshaft

Holy hell your rear pinion bearings are gonna hate you!

Yea its not gonna be on the road anymore and i'll keep an eye on it. first chance I get i'm gonna raise the motor about 2 inches which should let me reduce the angle some.
