Got the truss welded up

9-8-2016

Since last update I have done the ball joints, the alloys, and bought some used PRP suspension seats. Only using one since one of them is a little smaller and even I dont fit in it. Also gave up on trying to retrofit 8.8 discs on the 44. proving to be a pain for me for whatever reason. My 44 has the larger 10" drums and slightly larger than stock wheel cylinders so it stops fine. Also put some carpet down in the front passenger area, head shield over the cat, muffler and other exhaust thats near the floor. I have also added a hi-lift mount to the tire carrier so it mounts horizontally under the spare and a jerry can mount next to the spare.

Started on my anti-wrap bar/tcase skid today. Got mostly done

Got the anti wrap bar done and took the jeep to John Bull in Big Bear. Some of the parts are showing their age. Ripped the driver front soft brake line at the calper. Nearly 10 years of being a limit strap finally killed it.

Also blew out passenger rear shock. Installed same time as brake line with my initial lift. Been a bumpstop forever.

Passenger side mirror also just fell off.

Then at the second obstacle of the trail, just after the gatekeeper, I decided to take a dumb line just because. Slid the *** end over off a rock and center punched the rear yoke. Broke the straps on the ujoint and will need a new yoke. Had to do 75% of the trail in front wheel drive after being pulled up that obstacle. My little 30 sure is taking a beating so far.

Fixed yoke

Haven't done much lately. I did relocate the alternator to where the ac compressor was. Got tired of it being so low and a pain to change as well as down in the elements. Relatively easy project
