Expertly done..
The rear bumper is real nice how it protects the rear corner from bellow..
Stock flares were the way to go.. not on big enough tires to justify all the trimming that would have been needed.

Working on refinishing some of the plastic right now before it goes on the truck..
Would like to be driving it this time next week to hopefully be picking up some cleaned up CJ sheet metal.

Need the truck as well to drop off tub for spary..

At first glance I thought it was on a Dyno.

Driveshaft companies will want a measurement of center of u-joints, at rest, normal ride height.

TO DO:

Attacking vacuum lines this week on this beast...
rough idle is starting to get to me..

amazing how dry and cracked the 30 year old rubber is..

Vibration at speed I am willing to attribute to the rear driveshaft..
unsure if there is a good way to check this..
if I recall.. when the 8.8 went in the DS was either too short or too long..  measuring tonight

Interior needs to be done..  Too many family members are borrowing and I like having lendable vehicles..

bed tie down...  need to figure something out..  not having these made the bellow happen

dent in box..  yeah after fresh paint a rouge ratchet strap had it out for the bed side..
