Well the fog light was a casualty of hitting a deer. And the mirror just kinda broke off lol.

Nothing to exciting. But I did start making a skid plate for my buddies jeep. I'm also making a skid plate for the 720's t-case. Also here is some 33's stuffed under the fenders. To big and not enough lift to fit em. Someday

Well productive day. Reindexed te torsion bars to gain almost 2 more inches of lift, fixed a leaking freeze plug, adjusted the valves, and finished my buddies skid plate for his jeep.

It should hold up pretty good. I want to make one for the 720 but I'm waiting till after my buddy makes up some bumpers and rock sliders for it. I am making a t-case skid soon tho. That thing hangs way to low lol

It had a tolerable dent before. Now it's just fucked lol. It's all good. Did some tweeking to get everything lined back up. Now I just have to find a replacement fender and light. Also a mirror for that side while I'm at it. Since I broke that prior as well.

Going wheelin is so fun! So apparently I blew out the upper control arm bushings on the truck.... My alignment is totally jacked. I attempted to get it close. But it's only a bandaid. So now I'm saving for aftermarket long arm upper arms. I will be able to lift it some more too afterwards! Lol.

bummer dude. some of those bushings were new, i can't remember which ones. i think lower? I remember seeing new red ones lol

Yeah that's the lower ones. It's all good. Just how it goes. They have been pretty hammered out. I knew I would eventually blow them completely out with how hard I drive it. It doesn't really effect it right now. But prolly gotta hold off on the outings till I get them replaced.

for sure. it's gonna dick something up
When you get the longer A-Arms, you should think about getting the ball joint spacers too. Really help out with the angle of the ball joints. Extra 50 bucks but worth it.

Yeah right now I have the torsion bars cranked up as far as I can before I start negatively effecting the camber. The new a arms correct the ball joint angle as well. I was considering the spacers. Idk yet tho. I don't want to spend to much in keeping the ifs alive, cause I'm pretty sure it will be going with a solid axle eventually. Who knows tho lol.
