Thanks, I worked on the driver side for a few hours before I tried the press, after that it went a whole lot easier.

Took the seals of the axle shafts with a gear puller.
I got a new yoke, but it wasn't long enough, I cut off what was needed from the old flange and welded it onto the new yoke.

Both kingpin kits came today, now I'm waiting on the lower bearing caps. I didn't think about them until I was figuring out how to put everything together. This is the first time working with kingpins so it's a learning process.

I've been working out of a shed so a garage is going to make working a lot easier.

I took advantage of black Friday and ordered all the parts I need to build my suspension. The first box showed up a few days ago with all my mounting brackets. I have the Dom for my links, a tubing bender and hydraulic ram coming tomorrow. The adapter to make the bender air/hydraulic came as well.

I think it'll be worth it. I'd like to see those rock sliders when they're done.

The first half of my control arm tubing came in today. 4' x 2" 250 wall tubing. Maybe a little too long. One of them is mocked up with the full length tube to be about 4.5' from hole center to center.Sent from my XT1585 using WAYALIFE mobile app

My tubing bender is all but done. Next is fabricating a stand for it
. I finally have a place to work on the CJ it self. As long as work at my job stays slow I'll be able to get tons of progress made.

I've started building them but time is precious so it's a slow road. I found a friend that has a bender so hopefully next week I'll get my two bends done and I'll be able to get moving again. I plan on doing a write up once I'm finished with pics so I'll keep you posted.
