True.
How's your rig coming? Where are you at in the build? Waiting on any parts?
It's mobile. Still running the 231j. Springs are in, rear disc conversion is done. Chromoly axles in the rear 44. Rear Rockjock sway is in. 36 swampers mounted.
I had a stirrup I would have given you...☹️
Your rig looks awesome!
I absolutely love it.
Thanks. Giving my back a little rest before I pull the tcase and tranny. Got a leaking front seal. Then I'll install the atlas when I put it back together.
It's a lot of work. We did my sons TJR the week after Christmas. It took all of 7 days 10 hours/day. Of course, we were dealing with rusted broken bolts and fixing all that, including some welding. It turned out pretty awesome!

This setup should be really capable with the lockers and 4:1. We still need to do exhaust work.
Factory 4.1. My sons paying for this, so that’s an expense he’s not ready for. 42rle. It’s really not that bad. It will probably outrun my 4.56’s w 6speed. Actually pretty sure of it. 🤣 the auto is very forgiving.

So I went to that “Snow” jam today. Zero snow and I literally could have taken my wife’s Subaru, but still a lot of fun. And it was good to be out in then woods in the jeep with my son.
The games were fun, my kid liked the shooting game the most. We did not do so good with the card playing game but did real good at the raffle. Won some dewalt tools and a couple Hella 6” light bars.
Also there was some pretty cool rigs and stopped at my kids favorite burger place for dinner afterwards.

I’m usually not that big of a fan of them, but I completely agree with you on this one, I loved the stance, and look of this one. He also had a rear winch on this one that was mounted up really clean.

I just picked up factory backing plates, rotors and calipers for a disc conversion. Do I need to change out the rear bearings/seals. I recently replaced both bearings and seals so I would rather not do that again if I don't have to. The guy also gave me his axles but they sat outside in the rain so the bearings are kinda rusty.
You want to use the bearing retainer for disc brakes. If the axles the guy gave you came with the factory plates, calipers, and rotors then they should have the proper retainers behind the bearings.

Disc brake backing plate is thicker than drum brake backing plate.
