Sorry....nothing to report. I have been in Dallas (sitting in the airport now) so haven’t had a chance. I’m hoping to be pretty close to putting axles on this coming weekend.

Safe travels!

Having a little issue on the parking brake cables, I’ve got to talk to Dan on Monday. But, the Jeep should be rolling by Tuesday.

Are you using the factory cables or did you get the longer ones? What do you mean square peg round hole?

More of a metaphor, but different connections at each end.

Still the factory cables for now. Did you have to switch to the long cables?

I tried re routing the factory ones first and it can be done but I think they need a spacer like dynatrac used to use to get a decent parking brake. The longer cables route all the way back in the factory locations. They attach correctly without a spacer and take less adjustment to get a good parking brake.

Much appreciated. Now to go spend more money [emoji849]

Believe me I feel your pain. I keep commenting as these things come up hoping I can help others learn from my mistakes. The end result is worth it though. Hopefully there aren’t too many little surprises on the upcoming Hemi swap. Should be diving in to that little project next week.

I will try to remember to take pictures. I get too focused on production (old habits) so hopefully my wife will come around the shop I am borrowing and help me out on the documentation. Lol!

So amidst everything else going on I need to get a switch system Installed, head unit replaced and my ARB mounted under the seats I’m not convinced I’m even keeping. Figured I may as well take advantage of down time waiting on some parts still.
