Picked up sliders and corners and did a little organization before getting to work this morning. Brought home a tire from the shop to help with planning cutting, little bigger than 33” lol.

I like the stretch “increments”
Who wants to see Ben’s jeep? Anyone want to come out of the closet?
Had to order the full 09 kit from Barnes to get the other knuckle setup, and it's on back order, so pause on front axle for a week or two. The hubs I missed on my rockauto list for the rear showed today, so I'll be transitioning to the rear axle again.
No update from Thret on the custom cut wheels, so I'm pivoting to Raceline Ryno's now that they're available in cast/machined. -38s so a little worried about brake show with the spacers on the 14 bolt, but not the end of the world. The shipment is supposed to be in end of the month, so cutting it super close for EJS.

And we have one ready to install axle.
Damn random nut sizes. Need a 28 and 33 for the ball joints, of course my impact set goes to 27, wrenches to 30, and it’s in between all my one offs. High steer on and BJs pressed.

Story of bullshit PO’s. Paint runs!? WTH?
Like 50 days left, trying to haul ass.
I knew it! Get that shit covered to hit the trail. Axle looks great. I’m painting in 25* weather with a heat gun blowing at it. LOL
Maybe I missed it, running coils and shocks? How far are you stretching the rear? Looking good so far
Yep. More time crunch than anything. MC Dual Rate 3.5/5.5 (the truss moves the front coil buckets up 2"). 5125s, 12" up front 14" in back. ~6" Stretch rear, may try to get a little towards the front.
