Yesterday’s Progress

First, I had to rob some other parts from my 92.

shackles and bumpstop plates

perches ready to go on

also decided to add a piece of metal to the top of the passenger side UCA mount

then did a little painting

…and finally if you remeber this picture from my wheeling trip last month:

well, I went ahead and fixed it for good, too

tacked in place to test fit under the XJ

welded up

Transfer Case back in!

Yep, got my transfercase back in tonight (along with the new heat shield over the muffler, and tranny mount).

I also got the gas tank skid on, too. 🙂

Got most of the day tomorrow to work on it some more…..

No-Slip Installed

Well, I finished up the internals of my 8.25 this evening. 4.56 gears are in, and the No-Slip is installed. Now I just gotta throw it back under the Jeep, install my new perches (at the proper pinion angle), and re-route the hard brake lines the way I want.

The No-Slip

Done.

More work tomorrow evening…..
