They are holding up great so far. Have stayed nice and tight. Not enough miles on them to say they are going to last forever but I am pleased with them so far and no longer worry about knocking my toe out of alignment like I used to with the wimpy stock ones.

Thank you! I wish there was more pictures and more adventures but I'm in the work hard portion so some day I can play harder.

Testing out the new locker while out camping for my brother's bachelor party. Breakover angle killed progress pretty solidly. Oh well, it's not a rockcrawler! :smiley_drive:

The leak looks like the rear main seal. Not too difficult of a job and there are lots of write ups on how to do it. It is very common in the tjs. Also if you're looking at a top checkout the spider web shade. My wife loves hers and she daily drives it even in weather. For a full soft top the...

Thanks for creating thread! Do you ever miss the softopper? I keep going back and forth between a rack height similar to yours where a rtt would be partially below the roofline or a rack tall enough to clear a softopper underneath. Any thoughts?

Any particular reason you decided to switch to the MTRs? I've been thinking the duratracs will be my next tire. Also, Brutus needs a thread of his own. Great looking truck!

infra, do you have a build thread on that truck? It is great looking! What size Duratracs are you running?

I've looked into the posi locks but like you referenced they said they don't work with GMT800. Good to know that they will actually work with these trucks. The way I have the new transfer case wired, I actually wired in a switch that opens the circuit when activated to allow 2wd low range. I...

I went over the cognito tie rods because of Rare Parts using actual tie rod ends rather than heim joints. For some reason cognito makes both the tie rod end and heim joint versions for the heavy duty trucks but not the 1500. In my experience the heim joints get squeaky and are more susceptible...

Some pics from the Mexico Trip The Wombat loaded down with tools in the bed and the camp "pantry" towed behind. The trailer had dry goods to sustain 50 people for 5 days and about 200 gallons of water. Glad I had the new brakes! First day there had miserable winds that thoroughly thrashed...

Thanks BradyD! Got a few more things done to her before I headed out for Mexico on a house-building mission trip. Heavy Duty Idler Arm Pivot to replace the wornout stock one. Rare Parts Heavy Duty Tie-Rods to replace box store lifetime warranty rods that lasted less than 20k

Sent you a pm about a DAC truck tent. Great truck for long haulin!

Really like the way the box turned out and the stove slide!

Any updates on this thing? Drool every time I read this thread. :drool:

Have no words... :Wow1: --> :wings: --> :drool: --> :oops: --> :(

Back to my truck, sorry, I know not as sexy as the previous post :ylsmoke: Got an oem 4.10 complete low mileage complete from axle assembly and installed it to match the rear Locker switch will go here (the black rectangular hole) Where I pulled this out Because it was no longer needed due to...

Some pics of what I got to drive while my truck was down... :smiley_drive: Have I mentioned I'm a lucky man? That is my wife's daily driven TJ named "Elvira" Some quick stats: 98 Wrangler Sahara, 4.0l, 5 speed, BDS Suspension, few other odds and ends The answers to the important questions...

Did I mention the BlueTorchFab diff cover is beefy? It takes a 9/16" allen just to pull the fill plug! :Wow1: Filled it all up with Royal Purple full synthetic and finally got to take it for the first drive in weeks to break in the brakes. Sweet! Drove it home (was working in my Dad's shop)...

Pulled the axle, cut off the flanges, built new ones and this time I mounted everything up including new backing plates (since I completely mutilated the old ones) to the flanges without tacking them in place. I then had a helper activate the calipers against the mounted rotors with compressed...

Just a heads up! Measure once, twice, three times! Test fit test fit test fit before welding things permanently! grr I measured four times and made sure my brake mount flanges were perfect (using dimensions pulled from the internet...big mistake...) before welding them on solid. Welded them...
