Welcome!  I replied to your other post bef0re I even saw this one.  I think if you're looking for support/ideas for your jeep you've come to the right place for sure.  What sort of shops/help are you looking for?

[thenderson]

oh I dont need any help anymore.  I needed help in the earlier stages of my build.  Iv been forced to learn how to do everything myself.  Witch in a way is good I guess.  Somthing that happend a couple of weeks ago really ticked me off and I swore that I will never take anything to the shops in town again.  Im just going to do absolutly everything myself.  Right from engine rebuild to axle gears.

are you from manitoba or just part of the WORE?
what shop did you go to and have p[roblems?

Ya I used to live in Manitoba.  I knew the founder of WORE before it started.  It all started with Westman Jeep Assosiation.  I just posted there first because I know those guys personaly.  Ill post updates as my rig progresses.  Id rather not say witch shops I disslike.  There might be people from them reading and posting here.

So what... if you're not happy with them, let them know. That's the only way they'll know.

I dont like to burn bridges.  I might need their help some day.

Well finally I have some updates for this post.  Here are some pics of what Iv been doing lately.  A few new things and a few things changed.

Got my drive shafts from DSI.  Had a few problems with getting the right flanges but all is well now.


Shafts are in and all fits well now.  I did have some problems with axle wrap.  My new rear drive shaft was bottoming out on acceleration and deceleration.  Here are some pics of the traction bar I had to build.




Once that was finished I set up a limiting strap in the center of the diff to stop the shaft from binding on full droop.

I also got the exhaust done.  It was so treble before.  The guy who did it before had these nasty sounding mufflers and the pipes came through the leaf springs.  Now its a lot quieter.



Once all that was done I started into my dash.



Theres not much done in these pics.  I'm almost done the dash Ill post some pics when its finished.

Almost forgot.  Got rid of the flashy rims.  These rims will be going for a set of spoked wheels I had powder coated.

that's really nice.  hope to see it in real life.. maybe our show and shine in July.

[thenderson]

Ya we'll see how it goes.  Got a few kinks to iron out first.
