The Survivor Project-driveway frame swap/33's "build" by EricsGreen98Tj

2 minute(s) of a 57 minute read

Installed the JB Conversions SS SYE, UCF skid, rear UCA's, and 8.8 this weekend.

What a PITA! Stripped a bleeder on the rear caliper, then broke it off. So I have a new rear caliper now.

Fill plug on 8.8 is STUCK. Tried everything I know to get it out except the welder. Had to fill diff through the vent tube.

After the gear break in I will drill and tap a fill plug on the Riddler diff cover.

Did not get the rear Bilsteins in yet....ran out of time.

ARB compressor and other ARB stuff just showed up today. Get one heck of a deal from Barefoot Off-road. Saved me over $100. I highly recommend them.

Driving in front wheel drive in the Tj is weird. Ordered my rear driveshaft off eGay this evening. Ordered an Adams from Nuclear Off-road.

Pics to come when I remember to

Rear driveshaft showed up today..

Just have a few more pieces of the puzzle to try to work in. 

Have to finish breaking in the rear gears, then.......I CAN WHEEL AGAIN!!!

Maybe get an inspection sticker once I fix my exhaust and change out my ACM...

Really gained some belly clearance over stock with the UCF TT..

The 8.8 in all its glory. Still need to buy some good rear lower CA's and an aftermarket rear trac bar.

Received a pair of aluminum rear corners with 3" welded on Defender flares. Also ordered the led tail lights and 4 pin flasher.

Still need to figure something out for reverse lights and what to do with my license plate.

Also just recieved the 12' long Braided SS air hose for my rear ARB. Piss on that plastic crap.

Pics when everything's installed.
