Jeep Build

[ArticRubi]

Arctic, I dont want to jack this thread, but can you start a thread with some pics or vids of that beast in action?

Will do, soon enough. I actually don't have a lot myself, especially in its current configuration....Usually I'm busy driving the thing so it's kind of tough to take pictures We just had a big club rally in NH 9/6-11 and lots of members took pictures then...and have yet to post them.

I'll post up in the Pictures & Videos section...most of the pics will be while still running my crappy 35" Trail Grapplers

Well got the brakes hooked up. Took 5 hours to do so. Got everything buttoned up, one of the old lines would leak. Fix it, another would leak. Then I couldn't get the flare tool to work right, finally got that fixed. Lets just say I hate brakes.

Next on the to do list is the front drive shaft, and shocks. I flexed her out a little today and the shocks are to short. Gonna limit my travel so I need longer shocks.

Got the CB and loud speaker mounted today. Its not wired up because I have no wire...getting some today before work and gonna finish it tomorrow.

Had some diamond plate laying around, so that what I used to make brackets for the CB. Turned out great.

[schroederMP]

Got the HELLAs on today. The ones that were on it were junk...and wasn't run threw a relay. So I threw a set I had on it with some relays. Also got the CB hooked up and ready to go. Just need an antenna.

Next... tomorrow I'm going to finish cutting all the fenders. Friday I'm going to install the front drive shaft (x bro in law is dropping it off for me at work), and Saturday if I don't have to work I'll be mocking up some rock rails.
