More shit box work. Busted ass Saturday to clean up all that crap, turn rotor, put ball joints in, new u-joint in axle (will need to pull the stub from the diff still), paint all the shit, drill for the 5/8 studs, install said studs, put new bearing races in, pack bearings, put seals in and make...

More work through the week. I have Thursday/friday off next week so I’m prepping to hammer down on this thing those 4 days. I’d like to have the frame in, radius arms in and hopefully beams plated with shocks starting to mock up. See what I can get done Hubs drilled and rotors in with 5/8...

I used a general contractor and off we went. Wouldn’t use him again. What oisses me off is lack of honesty about what’s going on. I like transparency and these fuck sticks think they can hide shit. I personally don’t know much about building a home but did a lot for my shop build, while I had...

Didn’t get full days in yesterday and today but still managed to make progress! Yesterday I tore down the stock front end frame section. It’s about ready for the scrapper. Need motor mounts and rad mounts off it still. Might cut the bumper off too if I can use it on the new frame section...

If your reservoir is plastic. The sun will eat it up in a year. Hoses do decent but will eventually deteriorate. Beyond that, depends on the lift and what kind of moisture the rams will see. I’d keep sprinklers away from it

Yup, still have them

to be honest, i dont remember if they are on my shelf still or not. ill check when i get home

Spray a little brake clean next time in the area you think is leaking while the rig is running. If rpm changes, you found the issue.

More updates: My shaft done and in her… also, my driveshaft is done and in. Fluids are in and hacked the end of the down pipe and the sum bitch has movement! Got her to shift through all the gears on the lift but speedo is about double its speed it should show. Yesterday I had an hour...

Only problem I would see is if the shock mount can’t take the bump load. If you plan a hammer on it fast off road that could create an issue. Those unibodys have very limited structure and the shock area is one of them Now, if you run them in conjunction with the stock bump stop, that’s a...

I need to get my ass out in the shop during the week to pick the pace up but family time usually take precedence. Anyhow, last weekend and this weekend, I got a day each to work on this thing. Got the clocking ring on the tcase, verified its final resting place and started building the cross...

lol no shit. Most are trying to clock up and get clearance. Suzuki jammed these transmissions/transfer cases way up into the center tunnel. The stock one was clocked very similar but the pass side. Toyota’s aren’t too far off from this either but it’s odd seeing an NP/NV style tcase this way.

Let’s see, where’d I leave off. Between then and now I’ve acquired a rebuilt 231j tcase with sye and electronic output speed sensor. After aquiring said tcase, I found the tcase input was too short to hit the seal on the trans adapter. Instead of getting a long input and machining it down, just...

Ha! You better chop chop. And I don’t mean cutting your truck up again after building a whole nother back half 🤣

Welcome to my world, buddy 🤣🤣🤣 Also, fuck you Tommy 😘
