Don't have full steering at full stuff, but they rub on smooth surfaces so fine for now.

Just about ready for Big Dogs

Decided to rework bumper in order to make a little room to stretch the front a bit more to get the tire out of that fender tube at full stuff when turning.

Will finish other side tomorrow. Also need to move shock mounts on axle outboard of current mounts, pass side shock was bending from interference with unibody rail at full droop.

Reworked bumper tube and 3/4" stretch made lock-lock possible at full stuff on pass side, driver side saw an improvement but still rubs a good amount on the fender tube. Nothing obviously different side-side throwing a tape measure on multiple things. Difference in trackbar arc depending which side is up/down? Not sure, but living with it for now.

Track bar will change things significantly. Passenger stuff moves the axle to passenger, passenger drop moves axle to driver.

Both front axles torn down and reassembled yesterday. Probably drank two gallons of water and it still probably wasn't enough.

Rear driver caliper bracket had broken so that was replaced and prototype Torq locker was reinstalled for good after being sent out for inspection.

Front end had a Torq unit installed as well. Found backlash a bit loose, driver upper ball joint loose (still Moog junk never changed from initial swap on that side) and pass side wheel bearing sounded pretty rumbly during tightening.

Wheeling the next 3 out of 4 weekends so hopefully <200hp and low speed will keep it alive! Probably looking at a full tear down again this winter to remedy all. Lot of work with steering attached to cover.

On the plus side, I am very much looking forward to being able to steer in driveways or parking lots!

Some highlights from Field and Forest this weekend. Pretty insane red trails out there.

Awesome video.  The XJ looked like it had a easier time going through that compared to buggy (was he showing off though?)

Will inspect tomorrow, but damage seemed minimal considering how hard the roll.
