James I forgot to ask you what ram you were running for your hydro assist, figured I would get the same one to keep it simple instead of having to redo the mounts

Got both drivers side fenders cut out, and front pinch weld cut and hammered flat. Got my new AA stainless clutch line in with adapters on both sides.
D35 ** with 3.07 gears is about to come out.

Surplus center 1.5x8
The guy I sold them to didn't want to do any fab work and just have bolt in axles so he had no issue paying a lot for them. He didn't seem like a guy that would work on his own junk so I figured he would never get around to using them.

Sounds good thanks. Seemed like the guy needed the money and that's why he sold them so cheap.

Update: Ruffstuff order showed up without my spring perches which were supposed to ship...Pretty aggravating because now I will have to wait till the middle of next week for those.
Got the passenger side fenders cut, and both frame rails sanded down ready for the uni-body stiffeners.
Got my tires mounted and balances with air soft BBs this morning.
I took the old spring perches I torched off and set them on the axle so I could sit the jeep on the axle under its own weight. This is what it looked like. It should sit up about an inch higher with the new perches.

Looks good man, Hurry up and get that rear rolling so you can get stuck on the front.

The rear would have been done today but ruffstuff effed up again and somehow didn't ship my spring perches.
