Man, needle scaler. Who knew? (ok most of you probably knew..)
Well that feels better. Made a bit of progress today on the front axle and suspension work. Coil towers are gone!
It's sitting under the jeep... AND i've got the links for the front tabbed up. just need to figure out a track bar. The kit doesn't come with one. guess they assume you'll use the stock one? i can't see how that would work.
I guess that's next on my priority list.
After a bit of a lull, i'm back to work on the axle project! Got the truss finished up. and now the subframe brackets for the new 3 and 4 link setup.
Put some time in behind the welding hood today. Got the subframe brackets for my 3 and 4 link started, and i think i may actually be DONE welding on the superduty 60. got the truss finished up, and the lower control arm mounts welded up. Its now wrapped up in a blanket in the basement cooling. Ive got some old seals to get out of it, and then it'll be ready to build up! A big turning point in the project.
The rear isnt so simple. I did some thinking, and i really think the right move is to have it ready to place under the jeep before I weld on the truss and other brackets. But before I put any of the new internals in there, i want to have the welding done on the housing. So i'm basically at a standstill on that axle until I can get the current rear axle out from under the jeep... So. I think my next step is to actually start getting the new suspension under the jeep. which is a huge step to take, because once i start that, the jeeps basically out of commission until I finish it.
