I still blame Hart for the "what'll we do with the other23 hours" comment. Never invite attention from good ole Mr. Murphy.

Great time though...good to see everyone...even though it cost me seeing a great Buckeye comeback.

And congrats to Heart...you are now close to being half the man I am....literally!

dang that Murphy fellow and just wait till I get my paws on him :dead:

Thanks, it feels good after all these years (+/- 10 years :shock:

) workin at it to have the flubber gone and still going the natural way. Just recently it really has started to show all the hard work :pepper:

Forgot about the cv issue or is it still a brake issue on the left side? :banghead:

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:44 pm

Brake issue taken care of with the new rotor.
CV shaft is still an issue, he'll be back to have that taken care of when his wallet recovers :wink:

He has settled down to 23.25 now with only 20 miles or so on it, and should settle another .50 inches I would say so will be good !
some more pics in the 4 wheel drive section

Eh, oh well.

Just made it home and it still rides great. So far I like the ride better than my OME. I measured it when I pulled in and I'm sitting at 22" in the rear both sides and 23" both sides in the front. I'll check again in a week or so after I bounce down some dirt and gravel roads.

Considering I had one of the worst days at work in my entire life, I probably should have called off. This would have been much more enjoyable even if I broke a bone.

Probably safe to say that you wouldn't want a jeep that was made yesterday :ROTFL:

But I hope next week is better

The Jeeps built yesterday are fine. No worries.

Anywho, it's all good. Saturday may have been uh, terrible, but my supervisor (Juan) didn't even have a clue that I was at work on Friday. HIS supervisor (Rex) gave me a job to do Thursday and Friday. Needless to say, I didn't do much those two days, if Juan didn't even know I was there.

Still here, I got to get my lazy butt up and take some measurements to see where I'm sitting a week later. Last I checked it was sitting at 22 7/8" FD 23" FP 22" RD 22 1/8" RP. Debating on throwing in an extra ISO on each side on the rear and removing a conduit nut on each side of the front.

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Oct 28, 2012 3:46 pm

I wouldn't go any higher in the rear
already have two extra upper iso's in there
drop the front down some
I'd take two out
Have you gotten it aligned yet?
If not that would bring it down some, but If not lower it first now

Not yet, getting it done this week. I'll have to take it out to my buddies so I can work on it inside.

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Oct 28, 2012 5:39 pm

Run back over this afternoon, only take us a few minutes
Oh wait no its yours :banghead:

will take longer than that

Megalos · **Posted:** Sun Oct 28, 2012 7:02 pm

I'd take out those washers before I'd mess with the conduit nuts....less work. :lol:

More work for them, conduit nuts can be removed without tearing the springs out , cut them and remove, washers would need to take out the whole assembly.
But now we know exactly what you get without bumpers and extra weight :wink:

I still think it will come down some more with correct alignment and time to break in
Daryl drives like a old man :ROTFL:
