well this morning until about 2am I wired my buddy's LED tail lights up... it was all backwards, but it works. Also hooked up my trailer to my suburban so we can take his TJ on 40s wheeling tomorrow, since I decided not to take mine this weekend too.

Installed my 2" BB tonite, hopefully get 32" BFG AT's tomorrow, ended up finding some new/used 31" Geolander AT-S.

After procrastinating over a month, I finally replaced my faulty front axle shaft seals, and U-joints. I had to repair one axle shaft to get the U-joint in it, but that's what the big hammer is for!
It took me 3 days to track down the correct seals for the rubi 44. None of the parts stores in town list the correct part. That's even getting NAPA to cross the seal#, and trying to cross the OE#. Thanks to the dealer's mestake on the first set of seals I got the correct ones over nite at no extra charge. BTW: anyone that's doing rubi front axle seals
jeep part # 05014852AA $15ea
Save your self the trouble and just get the from the dealer.

Tried welding the hitch I'm building here at home and found out my little buzz box that's designed for 3/16" steel doesn't touch 60 year old quality made galvanized steel at all

I also made a new zipper pull for my rear window out of some 550 cord. I like it

Another thing you can do, do what I did today, replace the rusted out seat springs with a piece of plywood

Unless you looked under it you would have never known the springs were rusted out.

I bought a set of Rusty's 1/4" thick replacement mounts, and new rear shocks to replace the RC base shocks
