need to go get an alignment done tomorrow after work and need to figure out the speedo.it doesnt work right now.while at Matt's place,we pulled the speedo gear out and he spun it which made the speedometer go up to 40 instantly.dont know whats causing it to not work while its in the tcase.

also need to move the rear springs a little to straighten them out.my wheelbase is now about 107"s.with the spacers up front it sits right about level f/r.didnt need to downshift much if any going up hills with the 4.88s in.
 
Soooooo what did you do again? Looks like you added another sticker. HAHA, Kidding of course! Looks good man, what are the future plans?

Clayton LA's, 2" spacers up front of his 4.5" springs, swapped both axles, 44 rear got stripped down and all new Ballistic brackets welded in w/ a claytons truss, 231 swap w/ new AA SYE and new Tom Woods rear drive shaft, Kevins trackbar conversion w/ JKS adjustable trackbar. I didn't gear the axles but both axles have 4.88 gears w/ ARB's, rock crusher covers, and the front has alloy shafts and manual hubs. Slider also had to be modified a little to fit with the claytons brackets so they got welded on as well. Oh, and a couple new stickers! lol :)

For some reason the speedo isn't working like Brandon mentioned before. The input gear is indexed so you can position it in 4 different ways and I've tried all 4 positions w/out luck.

oh yeah.im going to get new shocks and get some quicker discos then sell my RC kit to Mag.
One of the next things i need to do is get the exhaust redone.havent heard anything yet from the neighbors but i know it wont be long since i have to go up a couple hills to get to my house and most are old/young with babies.
Thinking 35s with a little trimming where needed.need to get bumpstops/limiting straps figured out once i get bigger tires.still need skids as well.

after i get those things done,i will work on getting a rear stealth tire carrier and winch.havent thought too much about plans the past couple days but getting the Long Arms and axles in were 2 of the 3 big expenses.
