had the death wobble, what an experience, my jeep turned iinto an eep and I'm shy of more than a few pairs of pants, ive narrowed the problem down... (shhh) i think its my track bar :shake: so.. i installed this steering stabilizer to mask the problem until i can buy another one forgot to post pics of my shocks mounted :yes: now time to start on odds and ends, got my wiring harness adapter installed re did all the connections on my positive + negative cables for my amp got my subs installed. i had to remove the top of my center consol to get it in, then re-attach it more to come, i need to fix my speedo

did an ax-15 4wd conversion to my 2wd 1988 comanche, and alas i don't have any more speedometer, i switched my speedo gear to the stock one, rotated to the 28 teeth mark, and still nothing, could i have stretched the cable to far? or what would cause this, i would love to know what speed I'm going, thanks for reply in advance :thumbsup:

good work! keep the progress up, especially pics, lots of pics :yes:

ditto, pnp actually crushed the mj i was pulling parts out of, WHILE I WAS PULLING PARTS! looking good, keep them pics coming

I'm not sure if you guys know what I'm doing for school, well here it is I'm in school at this moment to become an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Mechanic specializing in Helicopters :yes: i will be finished on feb 3rd 2013 and will be a 2nd year apprentice, ive learned lots, hydraulics turbos +super chargers riveting sheet metal work inspections electrical systems carbs/fuel injection vibration analysis recipe engine's turbine engines, making composites bearings and seals, the list goes on and on, i finally got to tear apart an engine this is where I'm at my work space my engine 0-320-H2AD the tear down split the crank case this is how i achieved that ^^ washers on one side, no washers on the other, acts as a "pry bar" without doing damage to the crank case, 2 of those setups on either side of the case down to the heart of the engine and this is what a reciprocating engine looks like disassembled done for the day this is where i am at for now, i have to measure every component and make sure its all in tolerence, re assemble to correct torque values, and then run the engine up :D i shall update this once i have a significant amount of pics

BEST UPGRADE YET! i do the shock mounts after school tomorrow :banana: then she's on the road

got my brake line made up today, well i really under estimated, so i had to route the line a bit different, lots of play now, also my line doesnt look so hideous any more i still need to tweak it a bit to fit the axle but it turned out decent also installed the front bumper gaurd XD need to get around to swaping my other 97+ mirror on, get the shock mounts welded on in the next day or two get it insured tomorrow

looking good, did you by chance vacuum bag the fiber glass?

more progress, took the truck for a spin, see proof it moves! its in its spot the other way around shocks mounted on the frame, neighbor will weld my brackets on later this week, wednesday or thursday :( id like it to be sooner, but his welder his dime. brake lines all mocked up for tomorrow! i get my extended rear line made up at truck works will have full brake power, yes i know, the line over the pumpkin is hideous, but hey it gets the job done, i could have re-flared the line shorter but didnt see the reason to chop a perfectly good flare off more to come!

took the beast for a spin today, sure as hell need those rear shocks + brake lines, also need a 4wd shifter, sucks shifting it into 4wd from under the truck got er stuck for the first time today in my neighbors driveway, first run out :rotf:

i was thinking the other day that its been a very long time since you updated, this isnt the update i expected :(

Sooo much win :rotf:
