Painted the high pinion Dana 30! Rust-Oleum hammered was the paint choice.

Is that an or-fab tyre carrier? I'm interested to see what looks like a shelve you've made?
Yes it is an Or-Fab. It was the previous owner that added the shelf. I wish I knew how to weld. I don't have the original brackets that came with it for Jerry cans.
Nice added storage. I share your thoughts, wish I could weld/have a welder. Never needed one for anything major, just little projects.

Had to take it back to the shop after I did... I'm telling you guys you'll get the pictures when I get the jeep backI promise. If not you guys can kick me out
Here is a picture of the 2017 Rubicon wheels and tires I got on craigslist before I took it in for paint and body work. Hoping to pick it up this week
What did you do to prep for the painting. I recently bought a Dana 44 that I will eventually install in my TJ replacing the Dana 35. I was thinking of once I have it all stripped down I would take it to a local shop and have it sand blasted. Once it is nice and clean I would paint it. Did you clean/degrease the axle yourself? If so what did you use?
Ive grown to believe those particular JK wheels look the best of the Jk wheels when bolted onto a TJ/LJ. Especially with your exterior paint color

Thanks so much. They were $450 for a set of 5 I could not believe it. I added a 1.25" spacer to give it a beefier look.

I was able to continue on my front axle today, tomorrow I will remove the coil spring to better remove the rust.
I wish my axle would be as beautiful as Jake Kozlowski's
what is this part called in the coil spring ?
and how is it removed

Jounce bumper or bump stop. They just pull off. Try twisting while pulling. You should be able to squeeze it through the coil.I was able to continue on my front axle today, tomorrow I will remove the coil spring to better remove the rust.

"Purple is the new chrome...."
I wheeled with an XJ owner named Andy that coined that phrase....
Today I finally had the front 3.73 gears installed...; 2 weeks ago I could only afford to install the rear gears due to my budget. Today I also purchased and picked up a Bestop Spice Sailcloth Replace a Top with tinted windows. Need to wait for warmer weather to install...
Thank you STIMULUS....
