Lol that's not gonna happen. My last parts came in today finally. Took almost a month but still cheaper than ordering from the states.

I've got those sitting on my desk. Do you need to just take off the C hub and bearing, or does it have to come in from the diff? On the rear, do you just slide out the straight shaft and slip the weight over, and it goes back together easy? Are you going to lube the weight, it kinda seems like a great big bushing.

I had over tightened my u bolts at one point and had to force it in, but it was straight forward. I did lube it as well. Just putt chub and bearing off and slide it in there.

Jeepiac this truck is ridiculously heavy now btw. If I ever make it to a meet you can see it for yourself. I also need to figure out some sort of mounting bracket for my fuel and water JUGS

I've actually been experimenting with mine in the weight department. Shaved a little off and moved the battery as you know. I'll probably get a set of tubes fairly soon. As for the jugs, double sided tape.

By the way, you'd do her with the lights on, and you know it!!!

Here is an update to the Sawback. Chanced the look of her I like it much better now











I also successfully removed the paint from the lights with nail polish remover and q-tips

Your Jeep is looking good, congrats on removing the paint on headlights! I'm not really a lightbar fan and would mount two of those on the bumper and two in the headlight bucket locations. Why are your bedrolls hanging on both sides of the windshield? I liked them better in back with the body clip/bungees. Bumper trim and fold looks way better, I'd put a couple mig or tig spot welds to close the seams or at least ShoeGoo the backside to help hold it together. Keep the updates coming.

Thanks for your input! i put the bedrolls on the windshield because the jerry can mounts didnt leave a lot of space to out the bungees! But, soon there will more changes and they will be mounted somewhere else!!!
