Did a little trail clean up at Uwharrie today for the monthly work day. Picture of the crew and some shots on the poser rock.

I followed this thread from the first page and can't believe you put all this rebuild on a I6 engine. What a deal.
How has this affected your milage? Freeway driving?
It is beautiful. A work of art. I have to wear a bib to absorb the drool. lol

thanks, I got 16 mpg going to uwahrrie today. I can run 75 with no issues just starting to feel a little vibe at that speed. Do not want to go any faster than that in a lifted rig, lol.

Very cool build. About how much time did it take to do the "Hack and tap"? Also did you do the hack and tap while the TC was on the jeep? What did you use to cut the shaft? Sorry about all the questions.

So it decided to add a receiver to my ARB front bumper

Been looking for ways to keep the bugs off the front of the jeep...

That's pretty cool. Does that make your rig handle any different on the highway?

Had my knuckles rotated and my spring pads flattened out on my front axle. Added 4.5" IRO springs and Bilstein shocks, 5100s on the front and 5125s on the rear.

Well I went and made a big hole in my jeep. God it is empty, any chance of changing my mind?

Left over parts

Followed WJCHRIS' thread on Jeepforum.com so not going to redo the build instructions

Here is the porn, look at that pretty diff

What do you all think, my axle was hitting the tank after I stretched the wheelbase a little so I had to do it.
