ordered more parts....ebays great for deals...lol....100 bucks total shipped....4 ball joints and 4 tie rods... couldn't get 2 balljoints here for that... :cheers:

got the wj axle and stripped it.

some reading.... i need to make a set of these spacers and if i flip the tie rods i'll need some inserts spacers- i traced an old knuckle shape and marked the holes for the hub/bearing... now i'll get the tools at work to cut it out... ordered a set of tie rod flip inserts as well...

put the new steering shaft on, deal on a rear 44 from another mj fell apart...found 2 wj's for parts...put my order in for one of the front axles 99 or 2001...just want the knuckles to the calipers....get a good fix for my homebrew hi steer knuckle.. in case you missed the pic's Image Not Found Image Not Found

no luck on a good used lower steering shaft..ordered a new one....cheaper off ebay.... :wrench:

boring day......decided to change my winch controller back to my original...then seen the hole in my cup holder..hmmmm......works for me... can see in the pic, i hated it there in the door.. :cheers: Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found

new headlights, cheap h4 setup from ebay..and a plow wing extension..runs and works well....still waiting for the owner of the d44 to get it out of the scrap mj....should have it by the end of the month, then rebuild and gear it.... Image Not Found

my last fix for now till i get my d44 rear..... with the lift the rear shaft was in maybe 11/2 to 2 inches...to fix it...we went on a hunt.... never forget the extended cabs with a 2 piece shaft... the one i had on was 42 inches eye to eye... the new shaft off a older chevy 1/2 ton.. was 46 and the added bonus was a longer yoke.... so pulled the new shaft apart and played...the new shaft was about 1inch to long, the new yoke was 2 1/2 inches longer than the one i had...and it fixed my driveshaft length for now till the 44 is ready to go in next summer..then i may have to go back to my old yoke cause the 44 has a longer pinion than the 35.... Image Not Found

when mine becomes a full trail only rig...i hope it'll look half as good as this.. liking the f/s axles and the service box setup in the bed... good job...

box/lights/tank all bolted back on... now i'm ready for the snow... Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found
