Coming up to Speed With Grubbicon

[Grubbicon]

Looks like they just finished my powder coat before they closed today. My good buddy Will most may know him as OscarMike2.0 was dropping his parts off and sent me a picture of my parts.
That red carrier is definitely gonna stand out.

Well when this broke I decided the jeep will just sit aside for awhile until it was time to do the lift any every thing. Not long after here came the parts for the lift and the jeep over to my friends shop.

Did you regear during the overhaul? If so, what ratio did you go with?

No he didn't. Still running the factory 4.10s.

Like Trevor said im still running the 4.10s because I havent been wanting to be putting money into these D44s because I know they wont last. I was saying that I will break those gears before I change it but at this point that have been better then expect so I have been debating on doing it because if definitely needs to be done.

Picked the stuff up from powder coat today and all is good other then a bend was put in one of my corners. We were able to straighten it most of the way back and are hoping to fix it the rest of the way when its on the jeep. You can see the bend in this first picture.

You really accepted that from the powdercoater? That is fucked up and I doubt it will line back up with the holes already drilled. I would have made them but me a new corner.

I accepted because im good friends with the people over there and figured I try it out first. They have done a lot of work for me and my friends and this is there first mistake so I figured Id see how it goes. We got it straightened for the most part and if it wont work in the end im sure they will fix it.

Well got it all back on there. It straight out fairly easy and cant notice it now. Tomorrow when I get it home ill be putting tire in and cant wait to see that.

I never realized you were down this way! I need to check out your WJ! It's one of my choices when getting rid of my JK.

I'm from the very most northern part of Forsyth! Almost in Dawson to be precise.

Im always down for a run to Dodd. Its always changing because of how much water runs through there.
