yeah lose the stripes, and a good fresh 4.0 will do some good, but at that rate just might stroke it or put a mild stoke on it where your at it. :brows:

what about the old restro project, where you take a chevy frame and slap a H1 body kit on there? Just saw one on an old Top Truck Challenge video I just got from 4WD and Sport utility.

wheres all those pics fella's?

Also everytime I did my rear I just got new harware for the drums only a few bucks more and don't have to deal with the old dirty crap.

Yeah that's my buddies jeep, Dune Coon, He has duel batteries and a rebuilt alt. for High Output. As far as the 3 link kit, it is installed per it's instructions. Its a bolt on kit, not major welding required as they say but I'm not leaving it that way.

The UBE were T&T's so whatever on the holes. They were there to give option on strecthing the rear but I no need to. The Brackets will be welded up to the frame. And will be adding some plating to the frame as well to stiffen all together.

Finishing up on the bracket.. Now the front axle removal... Working now on removal of lower control arm mounts.. Got to replace the upper mount bushing on axle... pound it, press it...? I say @#$%ing burn it out! Install new one.. Now put axle back in with lift springs.... And remember the importance of jackstands and blocking the tires.. these are pics of jeep after the front fell off the jack stands... Ok so finally got it so I can get the arms on... lower arms set at 27.75" and upper arm set at 30" as said by RK in install package.. But the pinion pointed a little high and made the springs off center to the bumpstop, so had readjusted the upper to 29.5". Better but still need some adjustments. UCA at 30"... Track bar installed but need to re adjust that yet.. and stock steering remains, but for short while. Have drop pitman arm, and new x steering being made up. So install shortly. Done except for some finessing... And a side note.. learned the importance of one of these... Buddy caught the steering shaft on fire, the plastic cover, so before it took out anything else of importance we use the red thing. He she is on the 33's... then the before we lifted it...

Well got the lift in this weekend and it was a @#$%ing pain in the @$$. I hate michigan jeeps, so damn rusty. But done deal now just need to do the typical finesseing to it. Started putting brakes together and the lines on the axle.. Then started to tear out the rear.. Putting the new one in.. Bud the best tool on any project.. Bolting it down... Now the front... ditched the crossmember as well front brackets...

Getting that way myself, that's why I love cut,copy and paste. :brows:

Well with Dune Coon's help, got the ube on tonight. Got the 8.8 up on jack stands Me... Dune Coon... Did a little grinding on the UBE to get that snug fit... A little touch up to better suit Dune Coon... Now some measuring... Measured off Dune Coon's Jeep Pinion angle was set at 88* Cut off axles mounts for emergency brake cable bing they hit the UBE, being the width was center to center spring bolt hole, 43 3/8" Then spot welded to keep UBE from tweaking... Now for a full weld... Then the rest of them... 1 1/2" spring under???? @#$% no!! Shock mounts pretty much kept in stock position up on axle... lined them up in the middle with the outside edge of UBE.. Done @#$%er... Dune Coon Customs Have to give thanks to Dune Coon for he is a busy guy, but he has helped me out when needed. And even more being that the same time last year he helped me put perches on this same 8.8 and put it under my MJ. So Thanks again Dune Coon. :beerbang:

Got some pics not much of a write up, but going to do one when I swap in the AX-15.

My girl is an Assitant Manager at Wal-Mart. :razz:

Yeah trailer no doubt, I drove my baby home from Fl to MI with 220+ and had to replace fuel pump due to a souther boy cutting a hole in tank to clean it then don't know how to weld at that, and had to replace the steering pump. that was a trip with just that and that was't after a trail outing so I hear all that. But like I said to be safe or save some gas?, better to be safe.

Find a mechanic? What? you did not just say that did you? :mad: And get AAA, it's what I got and its great, tow anywhere is covered.

Yeah it has the stubby adjustable wrench and the stubby reversable rachet, the 1/4 and 1/2 inch drives. Got it on sale for $15 from $30 and used it plenty all ready.

I always refer to $500MJ cause it is a nice setup and simple... http://www.comancheclub.com/forums/view ... c&start=75

pack and roll works good. But I'm the same way, but it's because my buddies use my tools and never put them back in the same spot. But I got me one of those 74pcs hand held pack of tools, for those quick and simple jobs and I keep it under the seat for quck access. Works great got it from Sears,

:D My hat is bigger than my dog... Image Not Found
