Wanna do that instead of a meet at a restaurant or something?

Not a bad idea.

I could be convinced for a fire road shake down run. Only if I can get road worthy by then!

What remains to be completed? New brake lines...

And driveshaft. Just a matter of if the new crawler conceptz hinge mounts fit this time. They are supposed to be here tomorrow so I can check.
Is an in-lbs torque wrench really needed for the brake line install?

Easy enough to get done. I haven't done DS but it seems simple and quick enough.
Not to say it is fine to not use a torque wrench for brake lines but I didn't use one and I haven't had problems.

Use a torque wrench. :doh: 23 ft-lbs. No you do not need in-lbs wrench, use a standard ft-lbs torque wrench... You too Charlie!
Out of ALL the times Ive seen it happy, it even made A JKX Video!

I actually just watched a video on YouTube of a guy changing the driveshafts on a JK, it didn't seem too overly complicated but they did suggest a few specialty tools to make it go smoothly. I will see if I can dig up the video and shoot it over to you.

Drive shafts were easy, except for the this piece that was stuck in the yoke flange. Took a bit to break it free.

Easy enough! I am going to see if I can get it all buttoned up by the weekend!

I have watched that video 50+ plus times. I know it is the "right way" to do it but I like to gamble...at times. I'll get a set of torque wrenches soon enough.

That's what I said...before my wheel fell off
I used a torque wrench on my wheels and chamber pro bolts. I have the torque wrench back before I did the brakes and I didn't have time to go it when I did the brakes.

Here's a good starting point. There are some trails off the service Rd. May not be any rock obstacles but do have some tree obstacles.

Count me in for both trips! Even though Texas Nick is now on 35s I still should be there to tow him out of all the hairy situations he puts himself in!
