Mark, My TJ is almost done as well... You plan on hitting Rausch for Eugene's benefit or WeRock?

We have similar sized rigs, it would be nice to get together instead of always just run into each other on the trail.

Got one new spindle bearing delivered, installed on passenger side, and reassembled the hub.  Found the inner shaft yoke had clearance issues with the inner C.

Contacted ECGS and got approval to take a little material off of the yokes.  All good.

Also learned that there is a year split for oil filters on the Corvette C6 oil pan.  2005-6 LS2 pan uses ACDelco P46E or equivalent and the 2007-9 LS2 & LS3 uses ACDelco PF48E.  Took me four attempts to get it right.  Bah!

Arie sourced these awesome Cardone Ultra calipers.  Powder coated metallic silver, includes banjo bolt & crush washers, the works!  I'm impressed at the quality.


Engine bay wiring nearly complete.  Used the old battery wiring harness for alternator and starter runs and put the battery terminal end to a junction block on the firewall.  Pulled switch panel power from there too.  Ran 1/0 from the junction block to the battery that will be located in the rear.

Inner spindle/axle bearings replaced as a precaution.  Didn't want the 4340 stub shafts getting chewed up.  Front axle now an official drive axle too.

OEM battery ground cable cut and lugs soldered on for engine/frame grounding.

Fingers crossed.  Couple of hiccups along the way.  Punch list getting shorter.
