Project Silver and Black

[mpace6a]

Ha, I had an idea for making truck nuts like that, but i was gonna use 2 big ball bearings haha

[PACIFIER]

4.10's with an LSD has been installed.

 

 

 

[PACIFIER]

Front bumper has been installed, a set of lights and a winch will be installed next.

 

 

 

[PACIFIER]

Lights are on... Winch will be installed on Tuesday or Wednesday this week :) Shifter linkage and front 4.10s are the only things left.

 

[PACIFIER]

Cruising over the weekend....

 

[PACIFIER]

The MJ is coming along nicely.... I will attempt to do the front gears during this long weekend as well as finishing the half doors.

 

All that's left is installing the new 4WD shifter cable / brackets, front locker, and trimming the fenders.

 

I'll armor the undercarriage at a later time, after all, this vehicle will only be a weekend light trail warrior / my daily driver since the wife has claimed the XJ as hers. :rant:

 

 

[PACIFIER]

Almost done with the half doors

 

 

 

 

[SW86]

looking good. glad to see more half doors coming about :thumbsup:

Man this thing is sick! Jealous of your rig

[PACIFIER]

Almost done

 

 

 

[PACIFIER]

Mission accomplished :thumbsup:

 

 

 

[SW86]

nice :chillin:

 

 

 

can't wait to see them on the truck. not many people are willing to put in the time and effort (or money) for half doors but they are a step above tube doors IMO. more protection and still great visibility for wheelin'. i love mine for sure

i agree. half doors are the $#!&.

[PACIFIER]

Love the new look

Wow, this truck has some a long way in a short amount of time. Excellent work!

 

However, this build is lacking in pictures of your husky.

[PACIFIER]

Ready for summer

 

 

I got motivated enough that I even finished the inside of the Jeep

 

 

 

And here is a picture of Amber :)

 

[terrawombat]

Love her! Husky mixed with collie?

Alaskan Malamute mixed with wolf.

Just ordered the finishing touch. http://www.savvyoffroad.com/tech/Novak2 ... hifter.pdf

 

All that's left is cutting the fenders, when ever that day may come :rotfl2:

[PACIFIER]

Now both axles match 4.10's

 

 

 

 

I decided to also replace the hub bearings since the other ones broke while removing them.

 

[PACIFIER]

The Novak cable shifter assembly has arrived. LET"S GET IT ON!!! :drool:

 

 

 

 

DONE! Best mod by far.....

 

[PACIFIER]

A few more finishing touches. New rear 2.2 shocks and stabilizer.

 

 

 

 

Valve cover and potentially rear main seal next weekend. :dunno:

[88SGTSlaughter]

Wow, fast build! Looks good, I like how the interior came out.

[PACIFIER]

Just finished replacing the MJ's oil filter and valve cover seals. I've done it so many times that it literally took me about an hour and a half. :wrench: I also decided to change the oil, Mobil UNO and replace the oil drain plug while I was at it. If that takes care of the slow oil leak, then there is obviously no need for me to do the rear main seal. Now all that is left is replacing the rear axle seals tomorrow or Friday and the MJ is officially leak free. :nuts:

[PACIFIER]

I decided to completely rebuild my rear 44 since I had to fix a leak anyway.
