Will update when new parts arrive.

I also installed the Morryde recently. I did end up having to adjust it upward with the door open to get it where it needed to be when the tire was on it, but now that its set, it closes like a bank vault again.
Working on getting some Icon wheels in to fit the free spin hubs, Have 4 hopefully coming from Icon, and needed to get a 5th from someone else that had one in stock, and found a shop on ebay that had a single in their warehouse. For about $175 shipped, it was worth the risk to get this one while I wait to see if the order of four from Icon get filled.
Test fitting the free spin hub, I also plan to carry a spare hub with the spare tire too.
Scored a new diff cover on marketplace for $50 gonna get it mounted up tomorrow.
Yeah, takes a bit of fiddling with, but mine closes the same way, nice and easy. Have fun with the snubbers, they were my least favorite part!
Hit a couple of trails on Friday, so on Sunday I spent a few hours going

Well, 3 days ago, I got to have a day off (1) after 2 1/2 weeks and spent 8 hours of it with my lovely wife out on the backroads of Wild and Wonderful WV with the top down.
I'm suspecting a bad brake hose or caliper on the left front. It occasionally sticks with hard braking and drags a little afterward, but bleeds off and is normal again after a few minutes of setting. I'll check into it next time I'm home.

Sewed and replaced a door check strap
Got the fenders and grill and radiator off today in prep for pulling everything for swap it's hot in Texas so only worked on it till noon.
LS, HEMI??
That’s not a knife…THAT’S A KNIFE!!!
finally found my no start issue. Of course I didnt find it until after I bought a new starter last week and a new battery from walmart yesterday. These battery cables from custom battery cables are about 6 years old. Power one wasn't even crimped. Got them crimped on and starts right up. Hoping to make it more than a week without a no start issue this time.
Stuck the $20.00 Toyota H4 headlight conversion on and re-did the battery terminals in anticipation of future expansion.
The brand is KAAS and I get them from the jungle site. They also sell four-terminal pairs for the same price but the one time I was so sure that four would be plenty I ended up buying the 6’s later on.
I'd be very cautious with terminal clamps like that. The internal structure of a battery is not very robust. Cantilevering that much load on a terminal is a recipe for premature battery failure, especially in an offroad vehicle subject to high dynamic vertical loads. If you are going to use them, I'd suggest placing some medium-stiffness foam rubber between the top of the battery and the bottom of the clamp to take some of the load off the terminal and transfer it to the top of the battery.
If you're just looking to add a bunch of switches, I like the mini fuse boxes. I have the spade connector connection one mounted under the hood and its held up decent over the years.
