More work on Wildman's Jeep

Wildman1 · Mar 11, 2007

Well it has been a busy day for me. I got a lot done and and hope that I can finish the steering tomorrow.

The Rubicon Express Extreme trackbar bracket has been a PAIN since I started this whole project. So I decided to redo the whole thing.

Once I cut the stock track bar bracket out of the way I started figuring out what would work.

My new diff cover was part of the reason for doing this.

So here is everything pretty much back in place. It is still going to take some fine tuning but I am happy with what I got done.

Hehehehehe, Well friends don't let friends drive Toyota's.

But yes there is a lot going on under there. I think I have gotten some of the issues I was having fixed. I'll post more pictures once I get the steering all hooked up.

Well didn't get a chance to take pictures yesterday so I went out to the garage and took some today.

Getting the Hydro Assist cylinder painted.

The shortened RE trackbar bracket.

New Swaybar mount on drivers side.

Swaybar bracket, Trackbar/Hydro assist cylinder bracket pass side

Hydro Assist bracket for the tie rod. Got the clamp from Poly Performance.

Got too much going on this week so I won't get back to working on it until this weekend. Hopefully I'll get it just about done if not done.

Well got more done to the Jeep today. I can see a light at the end of the tunnel too.

So the hydro assist ram is installed and I can't wait to test it out and see how well it works.

Then I also got the wires ran into the Jeep for my fan control and the tranny overdrive defeat.

So now I am going to work on the stereo tomorrow and see how far I can make it on that project.

Well the Jeep is back up and running again. Took it out for a test drive yesterday and things went good. I got the stereo installed and it sounds great. Today I started working on the GPS mount and getting it installed.
