It just happened!

I am about to install my Morryde kit, but it doesn't really want to play nice with the Metalcloak corner armor and Savvy taillights. I am figuring out what I need/want to do.

Make me want to sell my MC corners and do something else, but that is rash....

Curious, what extra brake light is that? Looks like an adapter with LEDs in the middle.

This is the one I've used a couple times. It has a bolt and nut that allows you to mount it by drilling a hole. Truth be told, you need to drill a second hole for the wire, but it's a cheap and easy install.

Got lucky and stumbled across a rare find, for a very, very good deal. While someone went to the trouble of reinforcing a few mounts, it doesn't look like it has been wheeled hard at all.

This looks like the one that was listed being from an xj down near Williamsburg. Did you get the locker pumps too? I was debating on picking this up but at the time they didn't want to split it up. Glad you got it!

Very nice. What’s the plan for it?

JJs in the upper control arm mounts, tie rod flip, 5.38 gears, 4340 axle shafts, and a Barnett diff cover. For the outers, I have parts for three options:

1. Reid knuckles, with large Warn hubs - Also have a Blaine provided big brake kit custom for this setup - Requires 5 on 5.5 bolt patern
2. Small Yukon hub kit - 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern
3. Stock hub bearings - 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern

At this point I'll be going with option #3. Reason being, maybe not the best, I picked up a set of Mopar 392 beadlock capable wheels, with 35" tires, and I can't see boring these out to make them work with option #2.

That's the one. I got the locker pumps and the 44 was in very good shape. Plus, he cut me a deal that made the trip worth it.
 
Yep, helped a buddy remove his JLU sliders and install AMP power steps. Not my thing, but it's what he wants and he'll never wheel his 392 JLU.

I want to try the extened, width wise, mopar sliders on our JL. I really hate how the oem slider is so tight to the body. I'm terrified I took out a door every time I hear a noise on the slider.

If I had a way to ship these to you, they'd be yours for shipping. :unsure:

The wiring on those must have not been real fun.

The rock slide engineering ones are better designed imo, but also nearly a grand more expensive.
