    It's got a SBC 350 and I'm going to leave it for now, maybe do an LS3 next year. My TJ would be the only build before this one. It was fairly build when I bought it, The rear was already a dana 44, swapped the front for a 44, added arbs, 4.56 gears, long arm kit, KC HIDs, and a rigid light...

    Thank you. I like it a lot. I'm running 37's and there's still a lot of strap left. You wouldn't have a issue with 40's. Sent from my SM-G950U using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Getting back to work on the buggy. A friend asked me to make a bumper and set of sliders for his '90 f250. getting parts off my shelf too. my wife found a clock that fit perfectly into a Dana 44 ring gear. It was in my TJ's front axle, just laying around and I had no plans for it. Started...

    Thank you. I'm going to route the coolant lines down and underneath the floor boards on the passenger side. It has a carburated small block 350 in it. Going to rebuild it for sure. Thinking about swapping in an LS3 next year. Sent from my SM-G950U using WAYALIFE mobile app

    My wife got me a spare tire strap for my birthday and I'm pretty excited about it. A bunch of parts came in, so I should be able to stay busy for a while. Sent from my SM-G950U using WAYALIFE mobile app

    I'm avoiding my control arm issue for now. One set of brackets is about 1/2" forward than the other. My new brackets will be here tomorrow. I'll move them when they come. Been working on the upper radiator mount. Need to finish trimming the tubing to fit. Sent from my SM-G950U using...

    I went to start building my shock mounts and my axle isn't centered to the chassis. I did some measuring and found that my driver side frame rail was an inch further in and a 1/4 inch lower than the passenger side. BABOOZLE helped me get the rail to match the other. I had centered the upper...

    Took off the old power steering pump brackets, cleaned and painted them. I was going to install the new pump, but I didn't have the right bolts on hand. The new pump is metric. I started working on mounting the radiator. I finished the lower mount and tacked it in. I figured out how I want...

    Driver side shock hoop is in, still need to final weld it. The bracket is tacked on and the a pillar tie in is half welded on. I made a cross member to tie the two hoops. Might redo it and bend it forward to get more room in the engine bay. Sent from my SM-G950U using WAYALIFE mobile app

    You're welcome. I'll have limit straps, 1/2" from full extension so I don't damage the shocks. Full bump will be 1/2" from full compression. Everything is being set up at full compression to make sure everything has clearance. I'm using 150/150lb/in in the rear and 150/250lb/in in the front...

    It's more for spring rate. I have them at 15° in and 10° back so they shouldn't break 90° on full extension. If the coilovers break 90, there will be a dead spot in the spring rate where the coilover transitions from a positive to a negative angle. Which would make it really unstable.

    Mocked up the driver side hoop with the a pillar tie in. Had to cut a lot of fire wall to allow the hoops to tie into the lower corner of the a pillar. Tacked on the a pillar tie in on the passenger side aswell. Sent from my SM-G950U using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Worked on my TJ today. Had a starting issue. The ignition switch actuator was broken. But I picked up a new grinder and did a little tube work to the passenger side before I have to go to work. started to reinforce the shock hoop. Sent from my SM-G950U using WAYALIFE mobile app

    TJ won't start

    My TJ randomly stopped starting. I have a red top optima that's only a few months old. I had the starter checked and it was fine. Did some research and found out it might be either the ignition switch or the ignition switch actuator had broken. Dug into the steering column. took out the...

    I got the driver side shock hoop bent, only for my angle grinder to go down. I have an angle die grinder, but I don't want to listen to an air compressor all night. Sent from my SM-G950U using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Going to get some more tubing before I make a second attempt on shock hoop. Go the rotors on and the calipers on. I need to weigh this axle once it's done. Has to weigh at least half a ton. Sent from my SM-G950U using WAYALIFE mobile app
