Got a little done this week.Parts still rolling in.Really waiting on the BJ eliminators.REM finished the gear to help with oiling and eliminate break in.Cut the driver side housing down for the coil bucket.Track bar welded and tacked in place and started on the knuckle for the JHF high steer kit.Really starting to look like it belongs in a xj.

Tires came in today from interco.They released a new SX2 last week in a 35x13.50x17 and 16.And with a tip from them from a fb message asking for a part number was able to score 4 off the blem list $80 ea cheaper then retail. Being 35s I meet the pro rock tire limit and it dosen't get much better sidewall strength then an SX. They weight in at 86lbs each

Man, those look awesome! I'd like to have a set for my YJ when my M/T's wear out.

Was able to get the wheels powdered today and mounted.Look pretty killer. Weight in at 119lbs with 20 psi

Well I tried to pull my UBs apart to machine and broke the inner race on one.Guess I'll try again on a new tinkem.

.Wish I could find a part number for the inner bearing.

Figured I would get something productive done today so 3rd setup started. Next to see all these parts come together.Little grinding was needed to clear the 9.5in ring gear. Little surface grinding on the solid spacer and pinion group was set.Was able to find a 1410 35 spline yoke from Spicer.

Was it just trash on it or is that pinion bearing retainer cracked? First picture of it looks like there is a crack in it just above the yoke to the right.
