Yes Yes indeed i am. Just need a few more goodies and this jeep will be that much closer to "done". Hahaha.

Found another cherokee for $1,000 with D30/C8.25 (4.56s and aussies in both), 4.5" lift, 32s, some other shenanigans, etc. Thinking about buying it (has a cracked head) just for the axles.

I was thinking about putting it back to stock and dropping in a 4bt or some other diesel engine as another project. I have too many ideas.

Do post pictures of those relocation brackets when you build them.

Used the Gehl to actually test the suspension. Could of went farther but i didn't want to flop the thing.

I got carried away with other projects. Just been driving this thing and listening to it for the past month.

Somethings wrong with the rear driveshaft. I suspect a U-joint but i'm just going to buy another shaft and swap it in. See if that fixes it. Makes a weird noise.

Still leans to the passenger side. Going to buy some new leafs once i get some spare cash. Been buying 'Projects' lately that have had my cash tied up.

Just bought another D44 for it. (Mine currently shoots diff fluid up the breather like crazy and just drips down through the unibody rails and makes a mess. Going to clean up the D44 tomorrow, paint it, and then install it this weekend.

Going to also weld up some rock sliders this weekend and put them on the jeep.

I think that's it for now.

Oh, and centering pins. Took about 10 minutes a side with a forklift. Made life so easy.

Also bought another 4.0 for ... $20. Paid more for the two manual doors. Haha.

Haha.

The guy I picked it up from goes "You can't even give these 4.0s away because nobody needs them because they just don't blow up".
