Much needed updates

Here are some photos from the past month and last weekend of working on Bills Jeep.

Front bumper and winch are mounted


SYE and main crossmember for lift kit are completed


Rear axle to include new 4.88 ring and pinion, ARB air locker and 33 spline axles are mounted and compete and ready for install. I also completed the front ACOS coil over spacer and completed 50% of the rear ACOS system

















This was my first R&P reading. The BS was perfect but the pinion was reading too deep. After 4 rebuilds I got a very good reading and completed final assembly. The gears will be broken in and reset if needed.




I got the air compressor for the air lockers mounted and ready for electical work.



Here they are!!!!
After getting a call from Mastercraft that the shipping company went bankrupt. I used my invetigative skills to locate the abandoned trailer and drove with my wife and 3 year old to recover the seats in Ft. Worth the night before my vacation to California. These seats are top quality and the color combo will be very nice with the PGJ paint and the tan interior.



In this shipment was also the seat belts, duffle bags, mounting brackets and tool rolls. All made by Mastercraft.



Dont worry the brown bag with green stitch is just my wifes scrapbooking case and not part of this build.
