  1. It definitely was, but when a buddy says he’ll do it for free I can’t complain too much lol. Would have been probably a grand in labor and materials had I have to pay.
  2. Tolerances were a little tight on the hubs themselves so they are getting massaged a little more. BUT! I got the spacers and wheels back. And the test fit went great. Once the hubs are fixed up it should all go together perfect and be a driver this weekend hopefully. Hopefully the statements about being lug, and hub centric are making sense now that they have come to fruition.
  3. If you want some history on the Jeepspeed stuff @NRT_Chris on this forum is a great person to ask as he knows many people in the industry who raced, and himself raced with them. another great resource is Clive Skilton who can be found on facebook, a walking encyclopedia of the racing MJ’s.
  4. Not a bad idea, I haven’t honestly checked for one. Ill have to take a look next time I’m out there.
  5. 95% done with this one…just needs some finish sanding and cleanup a couple porosity holes. Then Ill prime it and move onto the other beam
  6. Got my glue gun out…sure haven’t used it in awhile, definitely a little rusty with it.
  7. It’s going to get drain holes whether dimple dies are there or not
  8. Other update, I have begun working on the TTB beams, mainly bracing them up and getting them prepped to go in the truck. Really want to take my time with getting these in, I hastily put the I-beams in previously and here we are taking them out due to dissatisfaction lol. Will be making a cover plate for the truss, and dimple die it. One of the holes won't be dimple died, as it is for the fill plug.
  9. Finally got some updates, will break into two posts. The spacers and wheels are nearly done, spacers are done just needs the studs pressed in. They are beefy! The wheels are on the mill as we speak getting bored and re-drilled. The way I designed it, I will have optionality to run 5x4.5 or 5x5.5 with these wheels, no real reason why, just a why not thing.
  10. Looking good, glad it came together. Hoping to stop by and see it before you take off
  11. Looking good! What’s left before the trip and when does it start?
  12. Worked for me now, maybe it was down for a bit when I checked initially. Not a $6500 truck.
  13. Shows unavailable already unfortunately
  14. It’s pushed in, the bracket should only be bent to 90* and yours looks much further than that
  15. Yes and yes lol, it’ll need a cage after the 4x4 is done, but I’ll definitely be enjoying it in the meantime now that it runs well
  16. Amazing what 4 years has done to this jeep. Stock drivetrain, in a small 2 car garage….To Long travel, LS3, Beams, Full float 9’’ rear in a custom workshop. Hoping the next 4 years are just as strong.
  17. Well, it looks good, going to be stuck inside for the remainder of the week it sounds like waiting on the parts still. That’s alright, the weather will suck here for the next week anyways so I am not complaining..too much lol. here's a photo in the meantime.
  18. They are tough ones for sure, weld a nut to it. I have Spares if you want to replace with OEM style instead of Hex head.
  19. Yep, I have been helping Marc out with his questions throughout his build, he found me awhile back before starting his whole build to get insight…It’s going to be a sweet build
