I got my valve cover cleaned up and put back on today! I used a real thin film of rvt to hold the felpro gasket on hope it fixes my little leak that was there, if not at least it looks better now! I got a tracking number from genright and should have my hood louvers tomorrow so I should be installing them this weekend!

Thanks straightsix! So today on lunch I broke down the beads of three of my tires to clean the mud and bark out and then decided to test out my new front shocks the fork lift!, let me know what you guys think!

thanks man!


next on my list of things to do is a power steering brace and start replacing things like my center console and seat cover and of course start saveing up for a 8.8 swap! I would like to be able to throw a Detroit in it unless I say screw it and do a spool and a super 8.8!

So I sold my full doors for 800 bucks tonight and now it is time to start buying parts for a 8.8 swap! give me your opinions on how to wisely spend 800 bucks on this axle swap keep in mind the axle is part of the cost!

Yeah I have a 8.8 now I am buying it from 91BoD he said its out of a 97-98 explorer and it is the 3.73 posi setup! I just got off the phone with Randy's ring and pinion and I order a spartan and pinion setup kit, and also the bearing and seals for the end of the axle tubes! I also just got done ordering my ubolts and plates, spring perches, shock mount, and the 8.8 flang adapter ! I am getting a open caierier and 4.88 r&p from a buddy for free he said the only have 1000k or so miles on them and he change his out due to his v8 swap! So he swap is all comeing together now! This is my dd/weekend wheeler witch is why I decide agaist a spool incase you guys were wandering!

So I picked my freebie gear set and open carrier from my buddy name today as well he is a pic of them! They look flawless and zero wear on them!

So my locker and pinion install kit cam today! Oh yeah and I also order under cover fabworks diff covers for the Dana 30 and the 8.8 can't wait to start building this axle up!

So I got home and got to check out the goods! The pile is slowly starting to build!

5-13-2012

So I tonight I got the 8.8 and started tearing into it! It is all stripped down minus the e brake shoes and the pinion. The brake pads look almost new on this axle shut the rotors look a little ruff so I plan on taking them to work on Monday so I can turn them! I do need to get some new e brake shoes but that's no big deal. Now I am just waiting on the parts to show up from more Offroad and the diff covers from ucf!

I got the pinion out but it took the Bfh and alot of anger todo it! I can't wait to get this under my jeep!

So I got a call from my wife saying I had a package form more off road at home!here is the quick pic she sent to me of it!
