If you look at the dates on the pictures, you’ll notice it’s been awhile since I’ve done an update
Anyway, pressing in new rubber bushings to the front claytons long arms.

Cut off 8” of the overhang on the rear spare tire carrier.

Evil birds decided to take a crap on the Jeep.

I yet again have a big pile of tires.

Gears were almost done here, we ended up loosening up the pinion pre load a lot 2 nights ago.

Garage is starting to look like a project zone.

Dave’s the man. CUBANS FOR MOAB :finga:

Got some welding done on the rig that needed patched up, pinch welds that I’d just a lot off of and such.

Used Warn Hub conversion arrived. Came with 297’s and stock inners though, so I’ve ordered up some 760’s, full circle clips, and warn chrome moly inners.

Also picked up a good set of trail spares. I’m sick of taking my shop tools (and taking too many) so I’m making a very specific trail/travel kit that’ll stay in the Jeep itself. I’m cutting down on spares and fluids too.

This used to be a Radio Shack display case that I got off of Brandon. Now it’s a workbench on wheels so I can wheel it outside when I’m doing messy things like grinding, without stinking my house up.

Remember how much this tire used to stick out? Cut it off and re-welded it shorter. I love having a welder.

Finally got that old spare carrier off of the roof too, it’s been on there since 2002.

New drill bits
http://www.bigassjeep.com/pics/phoenix/5.19.05.h.jpg
Painted up the front lowers, shiny again.
http://www.bigassjeep.com/pics/phoenix/5.19.05.i.jpg
Took off the interior passenger front door panel, so I could get the busted mirror off.
http://www.bigassjeep.com/pics/phoenix/5.19.05.j.jpg
Need to fix soon.
http://www.bigassjeep.com/pics/phoenix/5.19.05.k.jpg
I also managed to move the spare on the rear over a lil’ too so I can see out of the back on the drivers side better.
http://www.bigassjeep.com/pics/phoenix/5.19.05.l.jpg
2 of my caliper bolt holes in the dana 30 knuckles were stripped out, so I drilled them bigger, tapped them, and used some Helli-coiles.
http://www.bigassjeep.com/pics/phoenix/5.19.05.m.jpg
Began separating the good warn outers from the crappy stock inners, in preparation of the other parts that are on the way.
