I got the axle all painted up yesterday and installed it under the Jeep. I am hoping that sometime today it will be ready for a test drive 😀 I still need to measure and go get my front drive line narrowed and shortened. After that I need to finish my fenders and hood vents then it will be off for a test run beer

Welds are looking pretty good by the way. But I'm no expert.

Better bring a welder with you on the first few runs mr-green

I got everything hooked up today, but I was burnt out and didn't feel like a test drive. Next week I will work on the fenders and stuff. This is a lot of work for one person!!!!

You asked about the vents? I am doing it because on the last trip to Fordyce with my 40's, I started over heating a couple times which never happened on 37's..I figure it is due to the extra work the engine is doing, so I will try hood vents to see if it will let some hot air out and help things out!!

Looking good. How come none of your buddies on here have offered to come over to help? Will John try to savatage your rig? :nutkick:

They always seem to work on it on weekdays when everyone is at work, I think they plan it that way 😉

Rob is not a patient man...he can't stand to wait a couple of days for help...he'd rather just get it done NOW.

And I think it's awsome that he was brave enough to take on this kind of project. And it looks like he did a good job.

When I built my stuff, I was the same way. I'd just work on it whenever I had the time and never waited around for help. Some things are just easier to blast through when you've got an hour or two here and there...

I drove my Jeep today. It drives very nice and no bump steer 😀 The steering is way more sensitive than before. Notsure if it is the wider axle, shorter pitman arm, King pins, etc ??? Just have to get used to it like any new axle. My final new front width outside of tire to tire is 83 1/2 inches, I used to be 80 1/2... I will post some more photos tomorrow..I have a few more tweeks to do before it is all done!!!

Here are the new fenders all done
