It’s getting close! I ordered a dual master cylinder retro fit from Herm the overdrive guy. This M38A1 has one of his over drives. I’m interested to see how it works.
Pressure washed the frame so I can prep for paint

When this heep rolled over it bent the front rims. Digging deeper it bent the flange as well [emoji15]
No worries, I’ll pull the parts from the donor

Sweet. That dude must have been in rough shape after the roll.
Looks like the same hub as the DJ.

If dead’s a shape.
It should be the same hub, Jeep used the same hub on all the closed knuckle axles.

It wasn’t just the spindle. I can’t get a good picture but it bent the cast Hubs and backing plates all in one shot.
As far as I can tell that’s where the damage stops. If it’s turns out to be more. I’ll just swap the whole axle. [emoji29]

Well fuck! Swapped all the hub parts over. Passenger side of the axle is bent. Which is crazy being the short side.
So I guess I’ll swap it. [emoji849]

Shit, sucks you had to go through all that to find out you have to swap it out. Guess that’s what makes a build so fun. [emoji51] He must of rolled it quite a few times to do that much damage or it hit in just the right spots.

I’m going too, cleaning the frame up today. Hopefully the brake parts and paint come in this week so I can drop the tub on the frame for the final time.
I even cleaned up the stainless exhaust. I think it’s stainless anyways [emoji848][emoji848]
