and todays project i have been waiting all week to do after prepping the rearend, putting it in and installing the hack & tap. I still have a couple things to do, i.e. hook up p brake cables, modify the exhaust (it hits when you load up the suspension) and install front 3.73 gears(front shaft out at the moment). however its progress, and no more vibrations from the other driveshaft is an amazing thing.

well during this week I was able to mod my exhuast to clear the pinion/ driveshaft. My gas tank skid plate from tomken came in and installed it. Was not to impressed with the mounting, so later on I will be reinforceing this to tie in with my unibody mounting of the bumper. Thats the first and last time I buy instead of build.

3.73's are in and the solid cover is on. however I am in need of a new front driveshaft. splines are worn and is making a really annoying noise.

Well I have been slacking on updating this lately. Last week I ended up putting on a couple new RC shocks in the rear because one was completely shot, modified my P- brake cables to work with the 8.8, replaced front driveshaft (old one had some play on the splines), and just did some routine maintence. As well as washing it finally. The Spectre intake arrived today (pics will be updated soon), however the check engine light came on this afternoon as well, so first thing comes first.

Yes Connor if you have some pics you might as well post them up. I didn't get many because I was driving.
It was good to put a face to a name on here xjman88. Hope to wheel with you again soon.

Heres a couple good ones bro! The bottom one was my favorite. I tried to get good flex shots but wasn't quick enough. And I do agree wish I could have got more but was driving.

Well I have neglected to update my build thread as I have been ridiculously busy with packing. My wife (Lacey) and I are hiking the Long Trail in Vermont and then moving to Florida so things have been hectic. Aside from maintence, the jeep as not gotten much but here are some roof rack updates and some limb risers, as well as a embroidered tire cover. lkjnojn.jpg
