Baby Jeep Transformation ~ Day 2

[Wind_Danzer]

Well I had to ride all over to grab misc. parts, bolts and nuts and need to get some more tomorrow. Weather seems to be a concern since it will be getting wet at some point really soon.

Anyway, here are some pics from today.

Front pretty much done, minus the shocks:

Starting on the rear:

Spring is in working on getting the stock arm out:

Getting the T-Case out:

Full weight of the Jeep on the new tires (sorry for crappy pic):

All the control arms are on the Jeep now, need to adjust the rears correctly, get the rear trackbar and its bracket on then the shocks all around. Once that is done, then the SYE, flat skid and new rear DS. I'm still debating on the Skid Row engine skid...

Lastly, that t-case was a PITA to clean. Engine degreaser, wire brush, putty knife and high pressure car wash still couldn't get it all off. Gotta love NJ/PA mud. :rolleyes:

Umm.....Why did you take the case out to do the SYE??? :confused:

Looks good Jamie!

Case was removed so it could be done on a bench instead on the cold wet ground that the weather produced today.

Jeep wasn't moved into the garage until later in the day.

As for teh weekends off, I finally do have some, including this saturday since I can't get to work with the Jeep down and the rain (no motorcycle riding tomorrow :( ).

More pics to come from today.

Glad to see your getting serious! Looking good. Won't be long and you'll be pushing Eric down the trail! :D

I'll tell you what Joe....when you have something constructive to say; please post it. I realize you know it all, but us common folk are still learning. :rolleyes:

Did it ever occur to you that the TC was caked in oil and mud from back east and I wanted it clean before I opened it?

You're right; Joe. This is a very informative post which greatly helped me. Thanks! Also; thank you for pointing out Jamie has a Dana 35 with 35" tires. That helped us tremendously.
