jbain Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Got the rear axle.under the truck this afternoon. I was also able to set the spring perches and the pinion angle. Time to get busy on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 These flares have been a real pain to get to fit tight against the body but I do like how they cover the rear tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Finished up adding a passenger upper to the Clayton Crossmember. I was hoping for 5 inches of separation but was only able to get 4 and 3/4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbain Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Added a larger upper 3 link mount to the 44. I ran a 7/8th heim before but with alot of road duty I stepped it up to a 1.25 Barnes Enduro Joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Finished up the day by getting the front axle pulled and the 44 rolled into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbain Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Got the bird layed down this evening and I wish I had waited for some help. But in the end it turned out great and fits the hood perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveevryjp1998 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Those decals are trick. I bet it they would look nice on black with some matching rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveevryjp1998 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 You must be sleeping in you mj between going to work and going to work on your mj to get all that work done so fast. Or maybe you just snort unicorn dust and have magic fairies but either way amazing progress in a short time frame living out everyone else's daydreams👍.

I often feel like I live in the Garage and if you happen to have some unicorn dust I'd gladly give it a try. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 I've been dreading this job for a long time and I'm real glad I'm finished. I always stress when I'm cutting the short arm mounts off a Jeep. On to links! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up and they are still in business with a slight namechange. Nice looking topper. https://sportsland.com/truck-covers/pickup-truck-covers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Got the links mocked up and I'm pretty happy with the numbers. Also it looks like I'll have plenty of room between the Unibody rail and the exhaust. Unfortunately I have to get my Trackbar frame mount from my buddy tomorrow before I can cycle.

jbain Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Before I can install the rear flares I had to get these Dirtbound lower bed armor plates installed. This ended up being much harder than I expected and getting everything to line up was a real chore. But its done and I can mark this off the punch list.

saveevryjp1998 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I know what you meen about those mounts. I have had a set of Rusty's jeep speed long arms in my attic for over 2 years and don't want to use them but I'm kinda scared to do it and not like em. So far everything Rusty's I've bought I have loved or hated. Its usually the later of the 2. Their brand new though and cost over $600 if I remember, but I was too cheap to dish out for a clayton setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
