I've seen it plenty of times since you did the wheelbase stretch, but you can really notice it in that last pic. Looks good!

is that sitting up higher than when I saw it last at the Crusher? looks higher. Anyways, it's cool. Congrats on the RCVs. I dig the tierod/draglink components too.

That video is there second attempt, first method was terrible. Still s PITA compared to the traditional u joint install.

Ted, I agree that installing RCV's is still a son-of-a-bitch, but not as bad as I feared. I have never seen the first method.
Darren, still same amount of lift as before, I'm too damned lazy to be changing much about it at this point. The thing about the stretch is that you can hardly notice the 3-4" i moved the rear back. the front 4-5" is definately noticeable.
I do plan to build a new set of fenders for the front, to close up a little of the gap behind the tires. I built these ones 5 or 6 years ago now I think, and my then-amateur worksmanship is starting to bleed iron oxide everywhere.

Looks tricky to install. Must be nice to have the Jeep back up, its been down since the knuckle coming off?

yeah, a bit tricky to do, but once you get the first one, it's a breeze. I think I had it back together in about 50 minutes from when I cut off the threads on the lower balljoint to having it mobile again. It is definately nice to have it mobile again, hasn't moved since the day after the knuckle came off. now I need to find someone who will inspect it.
