its actually kinda dirty, usually its cleaner than that.  i usually clean the garage every weekend and put everything away so i can make it dirty during the week.  plus its easier to find tools when it's not a mess

i wish i had the time to clean mine every weekend!  your floor is so shiney! lol

[snowshoebrue]

haven't updated in a bit
i got the axles geared last week so i now have 5.86's,  spool rear and lockright front.  ordered some yukon 35 spline outers and 35 spline hubs and some new 806 u joints for the front.   also ordered some 15" bbcs rear coil specific shocks, and some 14" bilsteins for the front.  traded my highsteer arms for some offroad design arms so that will fix my steering.
to get it ready to wheel again i need to run my brake lines, do my hydro assist, and put my front axle back together.  i also need to weld my bumper back together

[Blingn]

so you might be ready for moonrocks

[Steve_925]

so you gonna make it to moon rocks

[snowshoebrue]

so you gonna make it to moon rocks

no it not done. i keep running into issues. i will be working on it all weekend though

[snowshoebrue]

while everyone was having fun at moonrocks i got some work done.  i hope 60's are worth it cause they have been a pain in my ass.  i learned this weekend i hate dana 60 u-joints, brakes, and hubs
new front shocks

hydro assist

new bumper based off my old center section

new rear shock mounts and winch mount


35 spline shafts

[snowshoebrue]

get yer crap finished and hit the trail with us bro 

its getting close.  i just need to reflare the brake lines and run my exhaust.  i ordered a 2 1/4 exhaust bend kit so i can make my exhaust.  it took me longer to fix the axles since i have never torn apart 60's before

[*** YELLER ***]

YELLER---um... what do ya need
JUSTIN---I could use a hand if ya got nothing going on
YELLER---sure bud




ask Matt it realy works 

[Blingn]

hey justin, I normally see others using round tube for the rear of the 4 link.  Do you have a secret? Or is that what you had at the time?  Any ways it still looks great man.

[snowshoebrue]

matt,
  if your talking about the rear truss its a premade truss that i bought from ruffstuff in sac.  it has a 3/8 plate that welds to the housing and then the 1/4 box that weld over top of that.

[snowshoebrue]

i got the half door almost done, should be able to put in the new shackle sleeves in the frame tomorrow.  managed to get autozone to warranty my optimas so i now have a new red and a new yellow.  such a pain in the butt since i couldn't find the receipt.  also got some new speakers, so i can get the stereo dialed in.  Ordered some led lights too so i can have super rock lights.  i put a half gallon of slime in each tire
