I'd say something like "winch rope hasn't made it to KS yet" but custom splice is 1 hour from our doors laughing1

I know I would love to get some synthetic but its pretty far down the upgrade list, #1 is rear ORI's :woody:

Here is the switch panel I made and ordered. The panel itself will be polished and the lettering with be black. Red led's will be on top, toggles in middle and breakers on the bottom. On the far left is the key switch and its not pictured but I added holes above and below it for a led and breaker

Some more updates Got the front end in and linked with ori's bolted up.

Assembled front end with new solid knuckles, and completely rebuilt front end, new king pins, spindles, bearings and seals. I sold my front 806's that I had reworked to jkh553 and bought a set of longfield's new joints so as soon as they come in I can finish the front end. Its getting chevy 3/4 ton rotors and calipers on the front as soon as blacksheep10 gets the caliper mounts burnt out. The nasty hub is getting blasted and painted

Also got my rear calipers on.

The axles are at full stuff but the whole jeep needs to be lowered a couple inches. Belly at full stuff should be around 14". Wheel base is 112" also. So with 8" up ill be at a 22" belly.

looks sick man! is that in Kelly's shop? if so, I cant believe he let you in there with paint! :flipoff1:

CheapJ7 · Aug 17, 2010

Definately not Kellys shop... Waay too much light, not enough junk, grime, dust, dirt or holes in the wall... :flipoff1:

I got my switch panel in today and threw some toggles and stuff in it to see how it is going to look. I got a 4 days off of work so hopefully I can get it wired and see if she will fire up this weekend.

Been working on the jeep. I got exhaust ran ( no pictures) its all 2 1/2" into 1 going into a single muffler. I heat wrapped it all. Here is the transfercase side of my 2 piece front driveline. I got my parts to build my front half today. It uses all 1410 joints and a stainless steel carrier bearing that should never explode.
