Thanks guys. I'll hopefully get the steering finished up tonite, bleeding this is a royal pain in the ass. Got one brake line on the rear that I had to shorten and re-flare, it's leaking so I gotta do that tonite too. Might be tomorrow before he actually hits the street. But holy crap is he WAY closer than he was even last week.

Man. Oh man. Oh man. One step forward, two steps back right?? Steering is bled and works flawlessly, rear brakes bled, front brakes......I'll fix tomorrow. Got the calipers reversed so no test drive today ![:doh:](//storage.proboards.com/3613987/images/7Q5Yd6fb9Ibf6Yp423Ai.gif)

Since July this Jeep has been stuck in the garage. You've all seen him go through several changes, TONS of breaks, and many people have helped fix him on the trails and in parking lots and on trailers, etc. Today The Thug has been through yet another change, hoping to make him more reliable, more durable, and more fun on the trails. So........here ya's go... We're starting out with this because I haven't seen this in almost 7 months... ![](http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/aa371/BobbiesToy89YJ/The%20Ghost/602B884F-A149-4618-8F29-289ADEB9AB52_zpsca1prjtb.jpg) Then we'll go here...... ![](http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/aa371/BobbiesToy89YJ/The%20Ghost/A9A43FF6-6728-4A4A-A5CD-C71B52F65B35_zpsshymcpvq.jpg) And a half ass comparison. He's only 4" taller than the LJ.... ![](http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/aa371/BobbiesToy89YJ/The%20Ghost/ED79917C-D8BC-495E-B90D-A6404DF07C7D_zpslrksqv2z.jpg) I have to fix the exhaust, it's hitting the front driveshaft. Have to make an adjustment to the tcase linkage, one of the steering lines is seeping a little bit of fluid at the joint. And speaking of the steering, it works like a champ! All the worry about the two different length "arms" can be put aside. I took this thing through the neighborhood so I could take a few turns with it and it works flawlessly. And it's nice to turn these big ass tires with one finger!! He's not finished yet but he's real close. Nothing that needs to be done will make him miss Winter Run ![:pickles:](//storage.proboards.com/3613987/images/asdysyKc8zdsB9caA8dt.gif)
