Looks like you had a good time this weekend too!

Thanks Curt and John, but lol, I guess I didn't think about it when I posted pics of the obstacles- that is not my jeep in a few of those pics- that is Chris Robb- Saturday there were 6 rescue green jk's at the show.
Recurve- I was not able to find a u joint locally, i have 2 spicers coming ups tomorrow. I will definitely be ordering 2 more spares.

I was thinking that you don't have a snorkel on your jeep but with your fab skills.... who knows ?!

Well, spicers actually showed up yesterday, so we had a u joint party last night, BIG thanks to Atch and GeckoGlow for coming by last night! Tonight we'll get Rich's driveshaft fixed.

i just stumbled upon this-

pretty much exactly what i have been doing with my York OBA and the quick disconnects at each tire.

 

[pvanweelden]

Well, I think it might be time to start working on my aluminum corners again... brace on the top to cover the fact that corners don't follow the jk body lines exactly and a brace on the bottom to give the aluminum more strength.
One more hole to cut for the gas tank filler and a few holes to drill.

It's crazy how the slightest variation in lines can make for a completely different experience.

My wife said I took the boring line
We need to talk to fab tech about Rich's jeep, because it definitely should flex better than that ^
Thanks Howlie

Huh? "We"? Why do I need to talk to Fabtech about someone else's Jeep? :thinking:

I think he got part of his issue fixed by getting the rear driveshaft shortened, but that still doesn't explain the front. I should have gotten a better look at it when he put it on the RTI ramp 2 weeks ago. I was just dumbfounded by the "lower" score that he got.

Paul, Looks like your buddy needs to go back to the 4 link front just to save on future body work! May be money ahead.

 

[darkknight1999]
