Looks like the rest of my parts have arrived. New tires are on, I e got the first coat of paint on the new bumper, and a pile of goodies to consume my weekend. Shout out to UPS for making paint prep a real PITA. New 150lb rate 4.5 inch lift coils, Rusty's massive boomerang shackles, 8.5mm plug...

Made some more progress on the trailer, but my tires came in way early and even though my steering geometry is near perfect, I'll be reinstalling my drop pitman arm, and figuring out how to add another steering stabilizer.

More parts! Silicone heater hose, which will get rid of the heater core bypass valve, and a universal wireless winch control. Had one of these before, seemed to stick and have a delay, but it beats fighting with tight clutches trying to drag this cable out. Also started back in on my trailer...

Transfer case seal kit is here, as is the new shocks from Rusty's. Once I get some of the other parts I ordered, I can start putting them on. Pucked up some Lucas Oil trans fluid for the Tcase build, so I should be able to have that ready to install by next week. Now I have to decide if I want...

No photos this time, but I've made some progress worth reporting. First off, shout out to Mike's Auto of Greene, NY! Got my alignment done, brought my caster 2 degrees forward as well. For those of you that don't know, it's apparently quite a bit, as it completely changed the way she handles...

Made some progress. Alignment is done, turns out my caster is out 2 degrees as well. Just more for my to do list. I've tore down my other transfer case, and confirmed the carrier for the planetary gearset is the same. Once my seals show up, I'll reassemble it and install it. Found 2 broken pins...

Steering is installed. Gotta tow it in a turn this morning, but it's real nice so far. They provide a few extra goodies as well, such as a clamp on stabilizer bracket and a replacement track bar bolt, being the steering actually contacts the stock one at full lock. No complaints thus far.

Steering came in, haven't had a second to get it installed. Prior to that, I finally put on my "high clearance" receiver and a pair of recovery points my brother snagged off a Hummer.

Between work and prep for the Gambler, I have no free time right now...

I had an entire update typed out, then it just disappeared. Short on time this morning, here's a brief photo update. EDIT: Now that I have a minute, I'll be going back and fixing a bunch of posts that my phone screwed up, including this one. I had an ice mound in my yard, courtesy of the...

How do you wash under your rig?

So I need a gas tank.... Anyway, made the rollers in my fairlead greasable, then it got cold again.

Things are really coming together. Amazing what a little warm weather can do.

Made some progress on the rig with this warm weather. Cut and capped the rear quarters and trimmed and rolled the rear wheel wells. Tomorrow I'll pull off the old receiver and put on maxx's bumper and receiver.

Looking like I'll be doing the Adirondack Gambler 500 this year. Only gives me a few months to get ready. Gives me a little motivation.

After an alternator failure and some trial and error on my belt routing for my alternator relocation, I've nearly got it finished. If anyone wants the details, watch this build. I'll be adding it shortly. It's been a slow go due to the weather, I'll add some shots below. I hope to have my shop...

@TheBison White? Have it a few weeks ago in cortland, ny? Just curious, I parked next to one haha.

It's been a bit. No real changes, though I've got some in the works. Been playing since the last axle swap. My bro and I did some wheeling on my trail. Also got an invite to do the gambler 500 coming up. Might be cool.

Original axle regeared, new upper control arms in, replaced the stock coil spring isolators with slightly taller ones from Rubicon Express which fixed the rake now it sits level ish, new pads and rotors, new mevotech extreme ball joints (guess we will see) and some other minor things. All goes...

Literally none of that happened that weekend.... Some is done now, it's slow progress though.
