Its worse. I liked the old one better
The front end is done. Ball joints dealt with. New lower mount for the right side limit strap. Old one stripped out.
Started removing left rear link. Bolts are rusted in to the point that an 8 pound sledge won't budge it.

This sucks.
Cut the bolts off. The uni balls are wore out and rusted in. So I decided to put my 2 left over 1.25" heims on. I'm short one miss alignment spacer.
The hunt is on tomorrow. I have a BITD racer and builder down the road. Going to check with him. He has a huge used parts warehouse.

Jeez wade!! Sounds like she's needing more loving more often! This crap isn't supposed to last near as long as it did, which means you need more horsepower, the 133whp it might be putting down ain't cutting it!
Real problem is he drove it somewhere he wasn't supposed to
That's not a problem. That just pissed off jeep guys.. which is good.
Nah, that's a nasty place he tried to go. Jeeps are afraid

And here I was going to say Michigan? I'll bet that's where the rust came from (I hear their givin it away).
There's a warning sign on the trail he tried. Wish he'd post the picture of that....
Signs just block the scenery. There's a song about that.
What I am dealing with is a lot of postponed maintenance.
I should have planned ahead a little better. I am having to reuse the bungs by cutting and grinding them out.
While also chasing parts for other people's builds. Bump cans that were supposed to be here today are back ordered until next Thursday. So I called my favorite store Kartech, with next day shipping, they were the same price.
Then I could not find my 1-1/4" right and left hand taps to chase the threads. Looked all over. Gave up.
Then I looked in the one place I never thought they would be. In a nut and bolt box in the semi from when Eileen and I were traveling. They have been in there for 6 years.
Most of the brown boxes with exhaust stuff showed up today.

Rear links are done and in. Aligning the rear end is a pain by myself. Still not sure it is correct.
Shop is cleaned up and ready for exhaust modifications. Actually just replacing everything. I have not done an exhaust from pre-bent tube. Always had an exhaust tube bender. So this should be interesting. Not having a band saw might suck also.
