Polished a turd.... The jump made the already broke long tube even crappier... so I took it to Clyde's and tied it down on the frame machine and jacked it up in the middle... came back together smoothly! Turned the welder to "SUN" setting and went to town... Next up is changing the seals cause they are literally toast now and making a template so I can get a truss built and welded on to make it stronger....   |

Picked up a used, new/in box Aussie for my rear axle last night at an unbeatable price. I have $200 in BOTH of my lockers.  Damn man!!! |

Got my SYE put together and installed, Thanks to Mike Penny for coming out to help with the teardown and rebuild on it. I had to do some major modifying to the 97'-02' High Clearance skid to make it work on the 05' drivetrain  think it's have been cheaper to buy an 05' Jeep rather than trying to modify everything to fit into my 97'... |

Ya no kidding. Not a fun trail repair with those damn c-clips. Gonna wait til after JK Jamboree to install. I'm gonna see how she does as this will be my first trip to SL since the front install. If I don't run into any problems I may just sling it to someone who needs it and start my 8.8 build. |
