Picked up the DOM tubing today for the cage and anti-wrap bars. Matt, I'll bring yours to big dogs. Also picked up angle iron for the fuel cell mount. I'm going to cut into the tub and drop it down onto a frame mounted pan supported by crossmembers. ALso Randy dropped off my steering arm at my work for me, THANKS RANDY. Also picked up my small welder, yep the 3200HD. Had it repaired, required a new pc board and cost $200. I'll use it for thin metal welding with gas from now on. Ready for my next day of rest with the CJ. 9

I took the last 200' that he said was not accounted for. Matt has claimed 100' of it and the other 100' goes into the CJ. He may have another couple pieces if it goes unclaimed.

Very little chance of that. I have about 2 1/2 days left to complete everything and not all is listed. Also have to reinforce the fenders of the trailer to get it up there.

For the trailer fenders we used wood or c-channel and built ramps on the inside of fenders just a little higher than fender so you drive over that part and dont touch fender.And you can make them remove for use of trailer for other things. Just a idea but im sure you have a plan its just trying to make fenders stronger sometimes turns into more than its worth.

Actually you did. You sent me a drawing a few years ago showing me where to weld some square tubing onto mine so Von's Jeep could fit on my trailer without destroying the fenders. We ultimately used ramped 10 x 10's. Worked great but they were a little heavy to move around.

Steering - Install high steer arm, rebuild kingpins and build tie rod.
DONE. Kingpins were toast since the dumbass that sold me the axles put the kingpin cap on top of the steering arm instead of below it and then used a bunch of washers and nuts to get tension on the kingpin. Fukin dumbass. Tie rod was placed behind the axle. Since the steering arms were wallowed out I welded the hole partially closed and redrilled it and used a reamer to get the proper taper.

Fuel tank and fuel lines need fitting
DONE. All fittings are in place. I just need to shorten the holes once I get the tank in it's final position. I cut a hole in the floor to sink the tank about 6" and I''ll mount it to the frame crossmembers that I will be installing.

Axle vent rear - FIND
Can't find, do I really need one? I had that SOB and knew I'd be looking for it so I set it aside where I can find it. Still can't find that SOB anywhere.

INSTALL - Driveshafts-23" rear CV and 38 3/4 front
Rear installed, front needs smaller straps. Can't figure why the straps are different but they are and I can't drill them out for Ubolts without seriously modifying the yoke.

repack front and rear wheel bearings seal rear shafts!
ALL 4 DONE and sealed!

Seal front and rear differential covers
DONE! Found a chip of metal missing from the front passenger shaft. gonna have to order a spare cause it wont last long.

Fixed leak in thermostat housing.
FIxed crappy ass sears compressor AGAIN, this time with JBweld.

looking good bill. With that type arm, the way it sandwiches the cap and doesn't have cone washers make sure you check the nuts before every time you take it out. I heard that since the caps are a softer metal it will flatten out and the nuts would loosen

Good call. I"m pretty good about going over all the nuts and bolts after the shakedown run.

my brother jon just put the same high steer arms on his new black jeep, and he mounted the cap on top just for that reason and he put thick wall pipe cut to 3/4 inch and used them as spacers inside the top of the cap to keep the proper tension on the cone inside. he says it worked well.

the driveshafts came with the CJ and was a spare from the YJ. I had the rear rebuilt since the double cardan joint was destroyed and had it lengthened. the front shaft i just had lengthened and I had new joints put in. cost was $250 for both to be repaired and modified.

$250 for both?! That's pretty cheap. Love the progress and I'm digging that steering setup.
