Uh oh. Is that good or bad.

 

[chedisme]

good!

I bled the brakes and took in around the block. man its loud with open headers and no doors! its pretty weird to look out the door and see almost the whole tire out there. its going to make spotting my self pretty easy.

 

[MoparManiac]

Awesome! Nice work dude :thumbup:

 

[kastein]

Put one of those round postal truck mirrors on the passenger front corner of the body so you can see the other tire too.

preppedand painted the 14b. didnt go as crazy with the prep. most of the paints gonna get scraped off any way.

[xSUx SGT BAKER]

Sweet lookin jeep dude.


P.s. loving the thread title!

 

[chedisme]

Thanks. Its nice to see someone appreciates the primus reference. I think only one other person got it.

 

[MrSimon]

good grief that thing is big .... good thing you'll have big tires cause that's gonna hang up all over the place.

 

[chedisme]

Its gonna get a little shave. About an inch or so is comming off the bottom. But yea its a big blue anchor. If i was closer to ross id have him do his fancy pants shave-age.

 

[RCman]

You're going to be ready for NACFest right?

I think so. I dont think the rear will take long. Im dedicating every non working moment to finishing it.

I hope to get my atlas support done too, but its not the end of the world if i cant. I have all the parts i need already fingers crossed.

I dont have my wheels yet which is making me alittle nervous. I ordered them middle of april.

 

[chedisme]

Just got an email that the wheels are powdercoated and shipping soon. Yay!

 

[chedisme]

TWF sent me a pic of my finished wheel. Its gonna make the rest of my jeep look like SH!T.

 

[RCman]

Those look good!

 

[clean4drxj]

Looks good to me!

 

[XJLI]

Badass dude. Can't wait to see rubber wrapped around em.

 

[chedisme]

so I welded my perches on and shaved the bottom of the diff.


forgot to take a before

after

I should still have room to drill a small hole and add a small bolt to help keep it from leaking.

now Im trying to rebuild my hubs but I cant get the F-ing seals out. the seals sit flush with the back of the hub so I cant use my puller. I think Im going to have to build some stupid rig to get the puller up higher.

 

[foxwar71]

I'm trying to remember, I either punched the seal out with a long driver thru the hub or used a hammer and pryed it off with the claw end.

 

[chedisme]

Yea iv tried both of those. Idk. Ive practically ripped my vice off the work bench prying on it. And hitting it from the other side iv managed to slide the race up to it but thats as far as it will go.
