I would do 4.10s or 4.56 gears and the dual booster swap. it'll make a world of difference with the go and the whoa. should be a writeup or 2 on the booster swap in the link in my sig. just don't spend any money to regear a dana 35. seek out an axle that is worthy of investment.

don't need to make them, just go buy some grade 8 fully threaded studs. (2.5" long?) they stay with the engine and then just use a nut to secure.

metric ton packs came in both 4+1 and 3+2 varieties. but the lower photo looks like it has an AAL shoved in as the number 2 leaf. the ends of the steel are different than the rest.

yesssssssss....... the final touch has arrived!

I swear Jeeps are designed to rust.

and then customized it a bit...

well, that may be what's left in the system. but I know a hoarder or 2

yeah, but which would suit the wall best? black to match the other parts up there? or chrome to show some flash? a 21 would be sweet because it's rare, but it's not my favorite and doesn't have that classic MJ look. decisions, decisions. look at me, spending money I don't actually have.

replacing the top bolts with studs can help with realignment.

I will from now on speak of my trucks by their year of vintage.

holy crap, how do I not have a NOS grille on my wall yet?

any updates?

so how's your first month of retirement going?

whoops, forgot to add my trailer's latest job

not sure how this thread got by me, but yes, I like your plan. how do you think this spot formed?

I love a good ol' nos grille

I had a HF model many years ago. worked great hoisting up the MJ trans, not so much when I tried to do the same with the 78 bronco trans/t-case (like twice the weight, maybe more). messed up the screw.

I can't bring them right too ya, but I can bring them to Adam. want me to hunt around in the yards down here for a white one?

do you have a transmission lift? makes a world of difference.

I enjoyed Teddy R park, but I'm sure it had a lot to do with the buffalo walking through our campsite. as in a couple strolled between the van (where we were) and the tent. up close and personal! turns out they just wanted a drink at the camp spigot, which one proceeded to activate. dang animals didn't bother to turn it off though. Yellowstone is in a league of its own though. sooooo much scenery! glad to hear you're doing well

nice! that's a solid lookin' truck. be sure to start a build thread and share the adventure.
