Jeep Transformation Day 3

With the threat of rain the main objective was to get the SYE done (and to hopefully get the Jeep running so I could make it to work tomorrow).

Here's a better pic of the Jeep in the daylight, where it was left off yesterday:







Eric started on the SYE after I got back again from 4 Wheelers for another parts run (for the 3rd day in a row ):





Geno arrived just as the rain started, we think he brought it with him but they were able to get some work done. Here they get the SYE back in the Jeep:



I started slacking with the pictures since I actully got some hand on with the Jeep today. Eric's pretty sore so I was able to help out. Here's a picture of the flat skid on the Jeep.



Unfortunately when I had this skid done a few years ago, I didn't know enough to have it reinforced better. Geno has an idea on how to fix that and hopefully we can pull it off.

I will be joining them again tomorrow since I don't have the Jeep to drive to work and I will not ride the motorcycle in the rain. I've already called off work unfortunately but I want to help out and get this done in the next day.

What's left to do:

Rear shocks
Reinforcing the skid (if possible)
Rear sway bar links
Brake lines front and rear
Alignment
Rear driveshaft (which can be done next week unless we can get the measurement tomorrow)

Oh, cool pic of the day:

Very cool.

I'm anxious to see it out on the trails now.

Me too. Hell I'd just like to see it back on the road.

How far down is the skid spaced from the frame rail ??

That's probably going to really hang up on the rocks...

An inch and we're going to work on that by fixing up the front of it so it will slide better. Like I said when I had this done a few years back I didn't think it out as well as I thought I did.
