axle install cont... Unfortunately I had to work so I didn't get a step by step install on the Axles :( I did have to ditch the ABS in order to run the super strong Ten Factory axles

axle install I felt it best if I had a little help doing the install of the axles. This seemed like a job for a rack, not so great of an idea to do it on the ground in my driveway. I decided to take it back to Ranch Muffler and have them do the install. They have completely remodeled their...

Once the axles arrived, I had to mask and paint them! Love the little Currie Tag!! I decided to paint them semi gloss black. Looking back, I wish I would have done a gun metal gray or something...

The Currie axles turned out to be way beefier than the standard Dana 44 options. The center section was thicker, the tubes had a larger diameter as well as being thicker, the Axle C's were way thicker too!

I am looking for hood vents now! Thanks for the tip man :) You are not kidding man, thanks for the compliments! I like to hear stuff like that, I cant tell you how much this forum, people and their builds influenced mine! Thank you! The axles I got were bolt in! Thanks! Just trying to...

Axle Swap So this was the moment I had been waiting years and saving my money for, the proper axle swap. You guys don't know this, but about 3 years ago I had secured a set of JK axles (Front and Rear) from a 2012 Jeep JK Rubicon. I was so excited about these and ready to put them in my Jeep...

Thank you Greg! Yes, I wanted to come back to the thread sooner, but always seemed too busy. lame excuses I guess :) F40, It does not run substantially cooler :( I was kinda bummed to discover this at first, but after talking to my dad, he says they all run at that temp. The one area I did...

In Moab...... While I was in Moab, I made a video for work. We filmed Casey Currie, his Axial R/C Jeep and his full size Jeep. I got the opportunity to break out the Hexacopter. I was super stoked to finally use this out in the field and scared to death all at the same time. Seems as the Iron...

First trip after new engine... So we got the engine replaced, and then I got busy. The next opportunity I really had to drive the Jeep was to my Son's Hockey Tournament in San Jose, CA. From there I had to go to Easter Jeep Safari for work, bummer eh :) When I was in Moab, Utah, I decided to...

engine swap continued...... So, as we dug into this engine project, I was amazed at how many moving parts (and electronic parts) had to work in unison to make the engine run properly. It has been a standing joke amongst friends, that if it is forward of the firewall, it is none of my business...

Nice!!! Albuquerque is an awesome spot to hang out. There are some epic spots to explore out that way! Glad to hear you scored another rig :) Go out and see the "Earthship" community, those guys are living the life on the cheap !!

Engine swap continued.... I also had to address the cooling system. Along with a new water pump, I purchased an aluminum Radiator from Griffin, water lines and thermostat. I was hoping to see it run just a little cooler than the standard 210. I am very pleased with the quality of this...

Thank you Mekcanix! By all means possible, copy whatever you like! So, How close is an XJ to the ZJ in the front end? I am thinking the bumper wont fit at all? Don't give up..... ever :) Hi Ben, The engine situation is never a fun one. If you have the chance, may as well do some upgrades, it...

Thank you sir! Yes, I am still all about the drawer config. and pelican arrangement. To be honest, it may be better to consider alternate materials, as I have approx. 12K miles on the jeep with the drawers and the hinges tend to loosen from the wood over time. The wood itself seems to have...

My man OP helping to extract the OG engine. While this was going on, I was over at Millenium Motorsports in Temecula seeing about some new heads... Have I mentioned that Flickr screwed everything up, now I have to do 4 extra steps to get the image url, ****** Flickr? He was going to do...

The last year and a half plus... I am finally back on the forum. The last few years have been a bit of a whirlwind for myself and the family. A lot has happened since we last chatted, most of which pretty good, and a little bit of it, downright crappy. Just to get the crappy out of the way, I...

Now it has really been a while! I plan to explore the forum a bit when more time presents iteslf, I'll have to see if you posted anything on your M416 trailer, that is on the list of items for me too some day! Hope you are well man! I hope you had some serious stock of coffee :) Well, sorry...

Very Nice JK and Trailer combo I am personally a ZJ guy, but if I owned a JK, this is the way I would go, set up base camp and go do a little exploring!! :)

Hi Martti! I am still floating around, just been really busy with work and my Jeep. Updates coming soon!!

Thanks man, I appreciate the compliments! Here are a few that bring back good memories! Treasure hunting in New Mexico....
