    Got the shim pack delivered. Got the axle home. Also got a new yoke. Seems mine was a bit boogered up, so there's an extra $50...



    Started in on assembly. Did the long side spindle twice seeing as I stood up to find the thrust washer on the floor behind me... Oh joy. Didn't go any farther. was getting too sore. Called it a night.

    Ordered the Tru Trac for the rear today. I also found a veteran owned shop that will do the rear axle for me for quite a bit less, so I'm dropping it off there next week. I gave Summit Racing the shop address to ship the Tru Trac directly there. I'll be set to do stuff like work on the tub, brake lines, fuel lines, and the like over the winter.

    No photos, but the rear has been done and back for a while. I got it put under the Jeep, but it isn't painted the final color yet, just black right now. Also I won't know if the pinion angle is right till I get the tub back on it and get more weight on it. It was rotated upwards on the CJ5 by the previous builder, and I'm sure it was tilted up too high, so I'll probably need to shim it down some.



    Found a fabricator to weld me up a new fuel tank. Turns out the YJ tank I got with the tub will NOT fit in the CJ7 frame. So much for having the filler on the driver side the easy way. He's coming buy Wed to take measurements.

    Painting Army tan, armor, flat fenders. Has 304 v8 which needs a little work but I'll upgrade that once I confirm the driveline is good to go.

    Same concept I'm going for... No painting right now though. Cold as shit in the garage.

    My headers are wrong... Gonna have to go with the block hugger type. Sucks trying to engineer a Mopar 360 into a Jeep frame. I'm not staying with the old fender exit headers, that's for sure.

    Found out that an old Flowmaster makes a good mouse house if you leave it out behind a shed...
