Roxroes--I'm going to call surplus and talk to them---but I've also sent an email & pm to Scott @ rockstomper to see if he still has stuff--I've also rec'd a quote from one of the vendors here on a PSC kit, but I've been told that their stuff and Trail Gear's stuff has been developing leaks, so that I'm not thrilled about----
I'm toying with running a TG 1650 pump as I've been told that part is good and then running surplus if I don't hear back from Scott---I could notch my bumper and move the saggy box forward and that would work, but I really don't want to do that---
have you done yours yet--I need to go back and look at your build to see what you done if you have---what did you use???
yesterday I finished up the tranny hump, although it may see more at a later day but at least there's no more hole and I put some aluminum plate down behind the pedals to close up all the holes and finished installing the last pcs of 3/16" body armor under the doors and started to work on the tie bar for the front hoops(across the top of the motor)---
so yes I'm still plugging away at small things although I did want to get the steering out of my way---
still need to install the front ARB and gears(which I've never done), but my buddy wants me to pull the axle and bring it to him, but I don't want to pull it--I hate takin' things off when they're bolted up---so we shall see if I go for it myself or ???? I do need a dial indicator though and maybe a puller(need to check what pullers I have, as I have a few different ones, just not sure any are big enough for the task)---sometimes I need to just convince myself to do things that I'm unfamiliar with and so far I've yet to do this for the gears, but I'm getting closer to saying screw it and dive into it----
I'm also in a quandry about the fuel cell, I have an RCI 16 gallon that I bought a couple of yrs ago, but it's the short one(7" tall, 30" wide and 16" front to back) and I'd like to have a sump or an intank pump, so I've been avoiding it, but soon it will have to be dealt with---could always use the original tank, but they are only 10gals & leak when off camber, so I'd need to weld in a different filler neck at the very least---
now I do have the back bumper tacked on 8" longer than the body, because I wasn't sure if I'd stretch the back(still may) or if I would put the fuel cell(different one) there or make it for the spare tire or ???, basically I left myself options until I've made up my mind----
I did put the windshield on her the other day and put one of my seats in and just sat there staring--dumb, but yet satisfying.....
I also bent the shifter for the tranny with my press(not the prettiest, but I will cover the rod with something for now)---not sure what I'll do for a shifter later, but this got the shifter off the floor and allowed me to make sure the atlass shifters wouldn't interfere with it, which is good--but what a pain in the ass the cable shifter is to mount, or at least it was for me--I couldn't keep in place to get the screws in--the cable and little housing for it had to be routed so that there was tension on them and the slightest jolt would dislodge it and then I'd have to go back under the jeep wedge it in there and start over---cross threaded one of the holes and I needed shorter bolts, but they were metric thread, so I just retapped them all to 1/4"x 20 and I finally got it(took at least one hour)---I'm not sure why some of the littlest things can take so long to do, but they do sometimes---
