Well success my new power steering hose holds 2800 psi that should be good enough



Added a second return fitting to my power steering reservoir also



Time
To head to the house and get a few things assembled

 

[gert]

Something like this




Im waiting on an adapter fitting for the back of the pump so for now im going to run it with the old hose and start on the rock ram setup

I scored a new rear axle for the tow pig this week to, im going to start adapting it today, a 2004 dodge 9.25 with 3.92 and a trac lok its 69.25 wide for $AMC 150 which looks to be the absolute widest i can go



This thing has massive 13.8 discs on it and 9/16 wheel studs


I seriously recommend this as a great axle for a Jeep, it super beefy, easy to build (threaded adjusters on the carrier bearings)no gear ratio break on the carrier, was in continuous production from 1968-2010 has a 3.5 inch diameter axle tube

Looks like it’s all coming together nicely.

I didn’t realize til i was looking through the beginning of my build thread looking for my shock part numbers that i bought my Goodyears in 2017 :0
And i forgot my rims are 9 inches wide so……

Well the Goodyears are off and up for sale


These 35-10.5s look so good on a CJ

9 inch rims are perfect width for these tires

Now im about to pull my Transfer Case and shim my front shifter rail spring and add a Novak pan

[gert]

Hard to believe i put this t case together in 2010/11 and havent touched it since

I can’t recommend JB Conversions enough

I keep forgetting how heavy a Dana 300 is until you try to pull it out from under a jeep with both outputs trying to spin



I very lightly polished my front shifter rail and added 2 #6 washers under the spring

I find it easier to assemble the intermediate shaft with a dowel and tacky grease to hold the roller bearings in place as well as 2 1 1/4 dowels on the ends holding the washers in place

I finally got my Novak cover, maybe one day i can get that super short novak output




Im also wondering if i could just redrill the output on my Transmission or the input of my tcase and ditch the rotation ring…. That would make it almost 3 inches shorter

Do you really need the clocking ring…
