…but I made some progress today.
TC removed
the goodies going in (SYE, 2Lo, Speedo gear)
done
started on the 8.25 (going to 4.56 gears with a no-slip)
should have all day tomorrow to continue working 🙂
Well, I finally started the first steps towards getting my new suspension installed on my XJ. I got the rear axle removed (so I can regear it and install the locker easier) and most of the rear suspension out.
….and on another note, I have removed the shocks on 3 XJ’s up until this point, and on all 3 of those, I have only broken 1 upper bolt. Figures that I broke all 4 on my 2000, which is the newest XJ I’ve worked on so far…..
Showed up today, so I couldn’t wait to get it on my bumper 😉
(still need to mount the solenoid box and hook it up……I need new battery terminals so I can hook up my new red top, too)
I think I have put enough weight on the stock suspension…..guess I will have to lift it starting next week 😀
…but not quite as much as I had hoped. Got my gears finished up on the D30…..almost got my XM radio hooked up……and got that new CB mounted.
Also got a few new goodies. I almost have everything I need to finish up this build 🙂
LeBaron hood vents to help keep cool in the desert.
….and I need a better battery to hande the winch that should be here this week 😉
Hopefully I can get more done tomorrow evening.
Well, I wanted to get a CB in time for my big trip in July, but wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to afford one in time (in which case, I would have used my handheld with limited range). While having dinner at my parent’s house this evening, my dad mentioned there was a Cobra CB in the Big Lots sale paper, and showed it to me. It looked like a good deal, so we headed there after dinner. Ended up picking up the CB and a magnet antenna for under $50. Not a bad deal (especially since my dad ended up paying).
Now I just need to get it installed and hooked up 🙂
