Driveshafts arrived. Canyon Crawlers from J E Reel in CA. All 1350 joints and new flanges for transfer case and both axles.

 

1st photo taken back on her feet. The 40's are on, but Walker Evans wheels on back order so we'll have to do the bump stopping and trimming with the factory wheels.

 

Pics of under front and rear after lift, with the diff covers installed after the gear change:

 

Sliders and new top installed:

 

Had to remove the rear bumper to start trimming. 40's are very close to the pinch welds in the front and rear so they were trimmed. Beginning to flex and bump stop.

 

Rear bumper (Smittybuilt XRC) finally arrived. Flexing and bump stops:

 

Walker Evans wheels arrived. First trip outside to the rock pile:

 

Replaced the twin steering damper with PSC Hydraulic Assist: (Didn't know I had hit the tie rod and sway bar skid that many times already)

 

Added soft doors.

Sold the 44's to a fella in LA.

 

Preparing for the on-board air and ARB system install. Using a ViAir 400 pump, 2.5 gallon tank, custom manifold for 150psi with relief valve and quick connect for air tools/tire inflation, a regulator to drop the pressure for the ARB solenoids, and a Daystar switch panel. 20# CO2 tank with a Powertank bracket for back up. Waiting on another switch body to arrive for my crawling lights.
