Solid cover is worth every penny of $60

Nice tires.
New parts are the best!

Day 1 of  my jeep build:

Front end is done! Put new coils, Spencer's old shocks and new brake lines. Now wonder I was wobbling down the road, my old shocks were completely useless. Broke a piece on the sway bar discos so we'll have to do those another day. Drilled the hole for the bump stops but those too will be put in another day. Mounted wheel spacers and got my new tires on! I'm so glad I spent a little extra on my wheels, I love them! Then I helped Harry put together an Aussie locker for the 8.25. Got it all assembled and put a solid cover on. Then we took the Dana 35 out of the jeep to swap with the 8.25 tomorrow. We have to swap all the break parts since the axel came with none. Hopefully it will all fit correctly and it'll all go smoothly. Got a set of stock leaves, shackle mounts and u-bolts for the lift. Should be all set to wheel soon!!! Something's going on with my hood latch though... Had to take out the lights to open the hood which was a pain!

Going to do some fender trimming tomorrow too! Made a sweet 20 point turn in the driveway to flip the jeep around.

Bigger is better in this case! Brake parts swapping from the d35 to 8.25

Day 2: lift is done, shackles and extra leaves worked out great. It's about 3" in the front and 4" in the back. Harry broke a bolt in the drive shaft yolk so it's not drivable yet. We have a bunch of little things to finish up too. We had to drop the gas tank to put the shackles in which was a pain. Luckily all the brake parts swapped into the 8.25 perfectly. We weren't sure if it was going to go smoothly. Next weekend we will do some trimming. Thinking of leaving the flares on and just moving them up. Next up are my rocker panels, already have steel for those, and some sort of bumper situation for recovery points.

Long weekend, got lots done, pretty excited to go wheeling this summer!
