Yo. My schedule is going to be long and scattered about at best. But I'll try to make it out there some evening. Are you in MD or PA? I just moved to Severn today...kinda lol got to Chantilly and started working around 2pm...just got here to the house half an hour ago lol haven't even unloaded my shit lol welcome to my new life.

Sadly, PA.....

Been setting up the shop past two weeks, but finally accomplished something on the rig. It's nice having TIG welders at work.....I think this will keep fluid from pushing out the top of my external reservoir.

Thanks to ole Rant for towing it up here for me

you gonna put a bleeder in the top of it?

I decided not to for now. Technically it should all bleed out of the reservoir attached to the pump. I was also able to fill it pretty good before putting the filter on. If I feel like the air is not bleeding out of it I'll put a hole in the top I reckon.

Shocks

If these last one trip I'll be surprised. I can't come up with anything better being that I can't outboard them.

The sad part is that my diff cover is already cut off at the bottom

Bump, my steering works. Or at least the resi doesn't leak.

WTF did Steinberg do to the forum that makes attached pictures HUGE? Or is it my computer?

Your CJ is awesome!

It is not just your computer.

I can't post pictures w/o them being annoyingly large so.....

Got my traction bar fixed and it seemingly works well. It's already deforming my skid plate so I need to stiffen that up. I'm thinking just weld some 1 inch angle all across the top of it. But no big problems with the rig that I know of at this point. If I build a front d shaft it will technically wheel, although I've got quite the laundry list of to do items still.

Will --> I think I should drive it to your farm and shake it down, the hood doesn't offer much for testing grounds.

I agree, is it streetable?

Thank you Stables!

I can't let Matt, Alec, and Charles be the only one's working on their rigs.

Traction bar I built awhile ago. Note awesome 4.5" angle grinder machining by Nick.


Traction bar mounted and beginnings of flex pipe exhaust.


Watch yo feet passenger, gettin' hot in her.


I welded 18" of pipe to these and shoved it into the flex pipe. They hang where my gas tank used to be, should be out of the way enough. They work well considering their small size.


Yes I wasted 60 bucks on a shiny overflow bottle. And yes I had to RTV the hose to my shiny 60 dollar bottle cause it's a smaller size that my factory radiator. And yes it currently leaks out said hose....


Cut out and reinforced my skid plate with 1" angle.
