I just noticed I have the D30 as the 8.25.....Stupid me. Ill edit it when I get home to my computer. Sorry fellas. pictures are corrected

Here are a few pictures of the progress.... Its been a lot slower process than I expected but its starting to come together. All new brakes on the 8.25 All new D30 with 4.56 gears and Spartan Locker. Bye Bye Disco system. Got rid of the junk CAD axle shaft system and replaced with one piece chromoly axle shafts and 760 spicer u joints. Bilstein shocks Here is the 8.25

There should be 3 little dots ot the top right of the picture. Click on that and it gives you an option too Delete, Hide from timeline, or cancel. You should be able to do it from your phone. Hope it helps....

Bucket seats..... :drool:

Pretty damn good pic. I can see where they would be hard to photograph. Quick little boogers.

Well here is the latest and greatest hicup in this project. The pin bearing (or what ever that bearing in the center is) is all to hell so it looks like a new front drive shaft is on the way now. Tom Woods should be sending me a nice new front drive shaft to replace the junk below Monday. As soon as I get the truck back I will take some pictures of all her new parts before they get dirty. Reminds me of the show In living color...... Mo money Mo Money Mo Money

Seen a couple other guys on here shouting out from Roanoke so here is one more! Bobby Moore Roanoke Va 1988 Co-moneypit-e 4 x 4 4.0 5 speed 84,??? original miles under construction. Locked 8.25 29 spline, locked D30 chromoly shafts 760 U joints on Mickey Thompson 33 x 12.50 15s More to come for sure!!!!!

Now that one I can see myself driving everyday. Always loved the J series trucks. Not a bad price either......

Not to be off topic..... but those are some sweet racks MKNYBOY... I have an old town tripper we hit the river often.

Or drop the price to 2500...... Lol

Just seen this on Craigslist.... Though it was pretty sweet. http://roanoke.craigslist.org/cto/3731039875.html

Would love to be in Augusta this weekend vs sitting here in my office watching it.... I'm a golf freak. Ohhhh and search the forums for camo comanche..... thats a nice looking camo ride. Thinking of having mine wrapped.

Welcome!!!! Hope you have plenty of money, once you start these Jeeps will suck your wallet dry!!!!!!!! :rock on:

I am having mine done as we speak. I will tell you what I know. The carrier changes at 3.73 gears. I was charged for 8 hours labor for changing out both front and back. Carrier was 65.00 Gears plus install kit was around 250 So you are looking at around 300 per side as Alexia said. Hope this is of some help!

Tom :bowdown: I love your truck!!!!! I really like the look of the ARB. It was a toss up between the ARB and the Warn. I went with the ARB. I don't wheel really hard anywhere. Hopefully it won't be a pain in the a$$ to install.

Just wondering if any of you guys are running an ARB bull bar. Likes, dislikes... Difficultly to install or any surprises I should know about. It should be here when I get back from Gatlinburg next Monday. I plan on getting my hand dirty with my good friend who is a body man. Thanks for any and all opinions.

If you have the tools and know how I would advise DIY.... I have neither. Shop charged me 2.5 hours of labor just an FYI

Same here.... Just had mine replaced as well. And I am pretty sure you can get to it by just dropping the Oil pan. Although that might not be as easy as it sound if your rig is not lifted.

Congradulations buddy on one sweet MJ and being able to ride around proudly in the MJOTM!!!!!!!

Lube it up and pull the pin is what the salesman told me to do. If we tear up the bushing its a standard 5/8 bushing.

I am at work currently and don't have access to the shock. Sorry about that. The front ones fit perfectly. I was just worried about tearing up the bushing pushing the pin out since its kinda wide on the ends. .

Its the rear shock.... I don't have the exact part number because my invoice just says Bilstein Shock for Jeep 6 inch lift. This is exactly what it looks like. 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber (click for more info)

I don't want to damage the bushing or void my warrenty trying to pull the pin out as it flat on the ends with holes for it to bolt up. Waiting on Kolak to call me back and see what "Mr. Salesman" has to say.

Sounds like a damn good reason to go to the beach for Labor Day!!!! :crossfingers:
