Football season is done and weather was decent so decided to do a few things. Whacked the new cs on and did some more massaging to the truss. My HP44 is a odd one since it was the leaf sprung version with 3.5"x1/2 tubes so some things are a little different for the truss but not much. The more I think about setting it all up the more I realize I need to mock up things before burning them in. While I have a general idea I don't really want to guess then have to back track. I dunno. Next was doing some things with the atlas. I need to swap the shifter, input shaft and output flange. Got all the parts from AA and just need to open it up to pull the input shaft. Next will be the garage shuffle and pulling the daily out and the project in. Wanted to wait till spring, but thinking of diving in sooner.

My dad has a lift at his place. He got one from eBay and had someone install it Going on 8ish years at this point. Other than the installation issues he caused (my dad did a $#!& job measuring and the lift was placed too close to something and broke a bolt) its been great. Can't think of the name but its a two post with a bottom support. I'll find it and circle back.

At 10k yeah, not 17.

Yeah who knows. I thought I had car ADHD then met Troy and felt a lot better about my problem.......

Yeah same guy.

I dig it, before I got my MJ thats what the PO was trying to do, AWD scca MJ. I love the 242. Never had it before the WJ and its awesome in the snow. Would loved to have kept it in my build but no SYE for the HD version killed that dream.

Awesome, I'm a native as well. Popped around a few places but down in Morrison/Littleton now.

Awesome ride! Where abouts are you in Denver?

Been rocking some Spanish punk recently. https://youtu.be/hqVBQb0xDmo?feature=shared

My uncle in law is a huge ASU fan alum. Bigger on basketball bit will still go to the games.

Huge football fan. I coach HS, but peeling back after this season to focus on family. I do still watch a few of my last kids from my youth team play in college. That part is awesome. I will say I hate what college has become but still prefer it over the league. My college teams sucks, but GO RAMS!

Woop woop!

Cool, I'll reach out to ya.

I would definitely take you up on that. I got the parts but never done gears and not trying to learn at this point. Your phone number still the same?

Sent you a DM

Building my axles for my WJ and need someone to burn in the trusses, new inner Cs and do the gears. Anyone got recommendations on either a shop or person?

Most new Jeep people (JK owners) like to eat snickers with the veiny part down......I'm fine being excluded from that club. And f their ducks.

I put in a Kenwood Excelon KMM 705 deck, kicker speakers all around, kicker 8" sub behind the center console powered by a 5 ch amp. I really need to put sound deadener but does well. 8" sub is decent but there are times I wish I had more bass. Depends on what I'm listening too though. Hip hop or big bass it doesn't like but with the rock/metal/punk does perfect. Especially if I'm listening to something with blistering fast bass, double bass kick, bass solos, etc sounds great and tight.

Ironrock offroad is solid for kits and the price, I run their 3" on my WJ and have had a bunch of their parts over the years. Rubicon express might still be around for XJ/MJ. I personally would piece a lift together. Coils look at BDS or metal cloak, shocks, bili or fox, trackbar either IRO or Ironman, control arms, core, trailforged, iro or any others that use decent joints and bushings. Rear leafs are limited but at 3" should be able to get away with shackles or AAL.

Well sold this. Not upset, needed to thin down the jeep herd and get more funds for the WJ. Need to say it out loud, but "I will not buy another jeep till I finish the one I'm working on." Feel like a kid asking mom for new cereal because there's a new toy.....

Welcome, nice trick! Post a pic of the pumpkin. Could be a ZJ conversion.
