First time tapping steering boxes. Stripped out the 10mm allen plunger.. went to the yard to find another and scored that 10mm and another box

Between the 3 of them I should be successful.

1650psi ps pump, resivoir, cooler, hydro assist ram, a/c delete (I never used it anyways), 6shooter knuckles, arp studs, brake calipers/pads, basically made my own Spod with a new fuse/relay block , diff breather extension in the front and a bellow in the rear, H4 conversion headlights with DDM tuning led bulbs, baja designs squadron pro lights, new distributor cap/rotor/plug wires.. can't remember anything else..lol

Was a busy week and finished just in time to do the connector at Corral Canyon. Now it's time for some body work ....but at least the hydro assist worked flawlessly. Can't belive I made it this long without it.

Nice, I've had my eye on one of them for a while. They have a sale going on?

He said it's on sale for the $150 ($30 flat rate shipping)... not sure what they usually cost.

Well, I blame my passenger for just sitting there and watching it happen, not saying something like "hey man, you're about to peel back your quarter panel like a can of coke" lol...

Rock snagged the door latch and did just that . Got bored and started trying to straighten it out..if I get impatient I'll move to plan B - cut and patch. Of course it'll be complete with some airbrushed sheet metal.

Love it

 

[85RedRunner]

Got it done. Now to patiently wait to find out where the next spot will be

Resealed rear 3rd, replaced rear drums, 120v alternator, interstate MT7 AGM battery, had to replace leaf spring centering pins, made a tire carrier and my bikini top finally installed. Ordered 4 new shocks today also, one of mine was leaking like a faucet lol. Buy a rock crawler they said...

Plenty of room for a cooler now, which was my biggest concern for the Rubicon in August.
