Dang..... I wish you werent on the wrong coast :emb:

Well tonight's focus was primarily on that plug weld. I ground out the plug with the ball carbide bit, covering myself with angry spicy glitter. I set up my propane torch on the area and let it cook for about 20 minutes to get some heat into the cast and 1/2" thick tube. Then I cranked up the...

Which yoke is on this? they have a 1310, 1350 and a flange

97 YJ! Sweet. Must be part of the conversion :flipoff2: :laughing:

Oh, I forgot a pic of the weeping plug weld :emb:

Yeah if this is a reoccurring thing, I'm going all poly. The only thing I can think is the power steering fluid ate it up (apparently that's a thing). Every time I was working on the jeep and noticed the TRE boot was wearing out before I even had a chance to use it, it was like salt on a wound...

I got my brake lines in today so I set off to install them. I tested everything before committing just to make sure I had enough slack at extremes as well as not too much at ride height or compression to where the tire would rub. It looked good so I committed to install them. Before that, I...

Well I built up the courage to put some gas in the tank tonight and guess what. She fired right up! I only let it run for a few seconds because I didnt have any coolant or tranny fluid in it yet. So that was next. Filled up the tranny, radiator, differentials and the transfer case. Not gonna...

I have zero realistic interest in buying this but 100% interest in seeing/hearing this thing go. How does it perform? DEETS!

Took a few minutes to make some labels for the switches :grinpimp:

Woo, finally got this stupid OD switch mystery solved :emb: So yeah, OD switch wire touches ground to signal OD OFF, and the OD lamp wire is fed +12v from a switched power source. For future internet sleuthers, the OD Off switch wiring for the Jeep 46RE (and probably others) is: -OD switch...

OK, got off the phone with Chris at Hotwire Auto. Turns out with the OD Off switch, the Orange OD Switch wire gets toggled to ground.... but in order for the LED to function, the Green OD Lamp wire IS ground....switched +12V. So the positive side of the momentary button needs to have keyed power...

SHHHhhhhhhhhhh :laughing:

Heck yeah, what a quick turnaround! Hell of a lot quicker than me :flipoff2:

Did some flexing and measuring tonight. I think I have a way forward with my limit straps all around. The rear isnt too bad but the front needs it pretty bad haha. These are heavy axles and Id hate to have them hanging on the shocks but the front might max out the TRE before it stops on shock...
