Well its time to bring this dead thread back to life. Over the winter I picked up 4 king bump stops, differnet valve body for the powerglide, steering upgrades, different lower gears and a few more sets of top quick change gears for the profab and a few more things like beadlock wheels and a tire groover.
I will be back at this build within 4 weeks. Bring on the spring mud rocks.

I played in the garage on the jeep for a bit today. I installed 2 extra steering cyl clamps as it was moving last year. I also changed out the lower gear set in the drop box. I went from a 3.09 to a 1.54 in it.

i am out in the jeep almost every day and yesterday the tranny lost reverse. I made it back to the garage and put it on the hoist to find lots of pieces in the pan. I swapped out the tranny and torque for the one I got for the toy project. she is back up and running. I was hopeing that would of been a 3 to5 year tranny for the price of it. Sh:t happens.
