Another update today! Started off the day getting these off my patio . They really need some love and to be repainted but for now they function great. Figured while I had the jacks out I would get em on.
I got the brake lines cleaned up, double flared, & installed. I sadly don't think I thought out my cut very well and my shock at half travel will hit the mount, however I am extending the shock mounts so I think I will be ok:
I bled all 4 calipers, the brake fluid was beyond gross. I tried using a Mityvac but found gravity bleeding to be much more consistent and easier.
Put the finishing touches on my BMB system
Here are some pictures of the MetalCloak Rear Track Bar, its pretty solid:
Teraflex E-brake cables being mounted & ran.
So something really funny happened, remember all those notes saying "empty put fluid in before driving" on the axles? Yeah I don't know why that note was on the 44, it was full of fluid LOL:
And with every project I hit a pretty stupid set back today. The Jeep can be driven in FWD, but not RWD because I still can't connect my rear driveshaft. The U-bolt I bought would not work, because my driveshaft is a 1310 and my dana yoke is a 1330 (UGH). I am going to solve this by purchasing: Dana Spicer 2-4-8091x (1310 series) & Dana Spicer 2-94-28X (U-Bolts for for 1310/1330 series). I also found out my transmission mount has completed failed and is barely hanging on so I will be replacing that. Hoping to have her drivable on Sunday if I can get the parts (Can't on Saturday because of other obligations ).
