Are you planning on going with the same style cage we built? Willy
-
Wade, Sorry about the late response. I didn't completely forget about this....except when I was in the garage with my notes. I originally purchased 4 tubes that were approximately 20' long. I do remember going back for another tube because some of our first attempts didn't turn out so well. Hope this helps. Willy

While the cage is off it was time to finally add some bed liner. Thanks to Ron for helping out. Willy
-
I added a mount for the CO2 tank. A fire extinguisher quick release from Trophy Girl. A Hi-Lift mount. Pulled it off to fully weld it. Now I'm in the process of painting. Willy

Yes, I sketched everything out and wrote it all down but I won't be home until next week. I'll get you some numbers when I get back. Willy

A few of the pics I took. Willy

Pictures! :clapping: Nice improvement on your welds. The bumper looks great. I'm glad they included the inner steering box spacer too. Willy

Back to some cage work. I added some down bars. Gussets at the main hoop. As well as a couple of short pieces connecting to the main hoop on the inside of the down bars. Some gussets for the rear. The holes should make a convenient place to attach tie down straps. It seems like I can never have too many of those. I'll also add a mount for the CO2 tank and Hi-Lift. Willy

Very nice! :thumbsup: I had been wondering what you were up to this past weekend. Willy

Returned to Copper Creek Road Saturday to play in the snow. The tow straps and winches were well used by the end of the day. One rig broke a motor mount which resulted in the engine shifting enough to put a hole in the oil filter. Duct tape to the rescue. More pics here. Willy

The original shift linkage I created for the two transfer cases utilized the stock bushings on each end. They held up fairly well over the years but have caused some problems at times by popping out of the shift levers. I decided to replace them with some rod ends that should eliminate that problem. Old linkage on the left. Willy

I mounted mine body down. This allowed me to zip tie the brake line to the shock body to prevent it from flying around and getting caught on anything. I left enough slack on the caliper side to allow for turning left and right and left the rest of the slack for the suspension to cycle up and down. Willy

I would not have made it up Yellow Jacket Hill without them. :D Willy

Michael took some incredible shots of us. Mud Lake Yellow Jacket Hill More of his pics are here. Willy

Took a trip to Tahuya yesterday. Had a great time. We had a few hours of mostly clear skies before the afternoon rain. Only a few MJ pics. Yellow Jacket Hill More pics here. Willy

I've only turned them on in the garage. We'll see how they do when we get out in the dark. Willy

These have only been sitting on the shelf for almost two years. Finally got around to installing them. They are Rigid Dually flood lights. I think the darkness will be banished from the front of the Jeep between these and the Truck Lites. Willy

Thanks! What have you been up to? Willy
-
The tires look nice. :thumbsup: Willy

What is the point of a helmet if you don't strap it on and don't wear a seat belt? Willy

I was thinking more of a bright yellow. :P Willy

The ECTED is exactly where it belongs - in a box on the garage floor. I haven't even used the ARB and it is already infinitely better than the ECTED. The only thing that could be considered a pro for the ECTED is that it is a limited slip when unlocked. There are so many cons that I would never recommend the ECTED. It is not a true locker. When "locked" it clamps the clutch packs together. There is nothing that mechanically locks it together. When the clutch packs wear our it no longer "locks". Auburn does not sell parts for it, so when your clutch packs wear out you can't just replace them. I replaced an ECTED I was running in the front with an ARB a couple of years ago and couldn't be happier. It is not for those who want a real locker. Willy

Then Ron hitched a ride with me as we met up with a couple of friends for the County Line Offroaders Snow Jam....minus snow. I didn't take many pictures this time, but there a few more here. Willy
-
A few weeks ago I finished the rear axle. Had the ARB installed. Cleaned up the cover. Ready to go wheeling. Willy

Nice job! I don't even think you need my help. :thumbsup: Willy
