As always Pete, don't mention it. That is what friends do for each other.

Mine looked like this today!! but not cause I'm moving...I picked up some stuff for the CJ project....

 

Set of glass for CJ full doors. New windshield glass, New Radiator, used D44 axles with new bearings and seals, brand new 33" AT tire with a matching rim, CJ Half doors with aftermarket slider soft tops, full plow hydraulic setup with two sets of hoses, OBA compressor, 115V 2HP motor to run the compressor @ home, a CJ front DS Speicer needing Ujoints, some scrap steel and a sheet of 1/8" aluminum and a set of CJ D30 shafts.

I'd tell ya how much, but the last "acquisition" was unbelievable enough... I'd have you guys up here in my stomping grounds sucking up all my yet to find good deals... :yes: :rotf: (Cough cough 150$ cough) :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :brows:

i had my dealer do a locator on rear shocks for my big ton, i just bought the last pair of o.e. inventory rear shocks in the country. i thought that was cool, 26 bux ea + shipping. btw, front heavy duty shocks are about 25 at the stealer also, in stock, same as xj i assume.

Yes direct fit, had to notch the cab supports(you can see that in the pic) but other than that fits perfect and it very well made and all the parts are big and beefy. I'm very happy with the product

 

installed RC long arm system

 

 

direct bolt in?

Yanked the goat and t-case to replace it an clutch with ax15, only to find the PO installed the wright pilot and the input shaft had like 1/8 inch clearance up/down/right/left (think 1/4" diameter to large)

my 88 looked like that too, but it was due to the bearings disintegrating long ago. What was left was the smashed housing. Boy was that a pain to pull out. :(

I backed it into the garage under it's own power!

 

That is the first time I have not had to push the truck in over 18 months! She runs like a top. No smoke, CEL, misses, overheating, or weird sounds. It is perfect!

 

I pick up my rear drive shaft tomorrow and get my SOA perches welded on this weekend. I will be taking her for a maiden voyage very soon.

Hauled about 1600lbs of crushed rock home from the gravel pit. Didn't mean to load it down that much, but about half the loader's bucket came pouring out in one big chunk. Truck handled it like a champ, though. Bed was definitely sagging, but wasn't quite bottomed out. 20mi trip home, but I stuck to the back roads and didn't take it over 45. Steering was a little floaty from the front end being up, and had to be a tad firmer on the brakes - but acceleration and power felt the same as when it's empty.

(Side note: I always get a kick out of seeing what color someone else will call my truck. I've heard white, cream, beige, tan, light brown, and today ... yellow. I need to start saving up for a paint job :D )
