Flares on, working on removing glue residue from the trim strips. Paint is a little rough and it's going to need some rust work on the rockers so I will probably do tan durabak when that happens.
Rear is lower than the front by about 2", need to decide/measure and figure out what to do there, probably leaning toward new ORD springs.
It's not as "squatted" as it looks in the pic, there's a significant drop off at the rear.
Working through the little things.
Got the Pro Comp add a leaf in, brought the rear up nice.
Snow bank flex test.
Before/After
Wanted to test the driveline so me and the kiddo backed off the side of the driveway pretty steep and was all wet leaves, drove right up in 4 low with the front open.
FEF²
New hood goofin
Nothing too extreme but me and the kiddo were able to get some trail miles on this weekend.
Version two is way more better

Had a leak at the transmission cooler line connection at the radiator. Decided that the fitting in the radiator was likely the culprit and decided to fire the parts cannon.
New radiator, 40k transmission cooler, Kloc hood latch bracket, new condenser.
Got a used Jeep bumper for less than steel to build my own, frame spacing is close, should only take a couple simple brackets to get it on there.
Test fit:
Truck has been in need of door pins and bushings for a while. Got a pile of parts from Cunningham Machine for that that I have been sitting on. Driver's window stopped windowing so pulled the door apart and off, found the track rusted through on the bottom of the window. Also found I needed oversized bushings in two of the locations so ordered those.
Pins
Bushings
Roller, Spring and Arm
Speakers
Truck has had no AC since I got it. Had a hose worn through. Hoses seized to Evaporator core so also fired the parts cannon at that. Evap core, lines, condenser, accumulator all being replaced. Going to see if the compressor works first but I'm guessing I'll need that too.
Also have a new rubber floor mat to put in so out with all the interior...
A steady stream of parts have been rolling in, reassembly begins tomorrow afternoon.
