Build Thread 83 CJ7 its time to get it done

I had to flip one of the hinge sides the other direction to get the amount of movement I need for the radio cover to rest against the front of the console that took a minute to figure out as well as 8.5 inches of wasted hinge

I wanted street tires but the trail runner all terrains were $40 a piece cheaper so that’s what I went with, and that was still $1100...... they also wanted $600 to do my front brakes :0 I had to pass on that

Ouch. Yeah, I think I’d pass on a $600 brake job myself

It does look very industrial and manly but I am afraid of being blinded and burning the skin off my arm during the summer months lol

Well it has been very busy around the house lately my wife decided to take statistics in a 3 week may mester which has plummeted our household into statistics Hell, we had that huge hail storm come thru last month I think ? So I have also been very busy trimming to get quotes for all the repair work. Never realized how much time that eats up til now.

Hopefully hopefully hopefully I will be able to purchase Holy Grail driveshaft #2 and the front ring and pinion next week hopefully

I found my original front axle shafts Thursday while watching the Roofer’s at the rent house, I am going to try and clean the stub shafts up and save money for Moser inner shafts



Man I sure hope I can get this done before August
