Thank you sirAwesome update. How has the front axle seals holding up?
Sounds like a keeper.Good :flipoff2:
One more, bought the girlfriend a TJ. She's been learning to wrench and loves to wheel. EDIT: She also stole my soft top. Rude.
She's pretty impressive. Painted her fender flares first thing. Wants my rear bumper when "I cut off the frame to tube that shit out like the front" and keeps encouraging me to buy parts :laughing:Sounds like a keeper.
Yep! Exactly, PLA is garage-test only. I have Carbon Fiber Nylon and Carbon Fiber ABS to test out. I prefer the nylon, but we'll see. I also plan to CNC machine a few aluminum hinges just in case. These are more temporary and a "see if I could do it" project.Are you going to use a different material for the hinges? I expect the PLA to melt / deform after a few minutes in the sun. I've lost prints in my car while it's in a parking garage on an 80 degree day.
Keep the updates coming, everything looks good so far!
Mostly small changes. Track bar was proofed and laser cut, same one you see on the Jeep now. Steering box has worked very well, few of those floating around and all of the owners are very happy with them.Any update on the link mount system ? I'd be interested in one.
You arent the only one my friend. My build thread is gone too.Apologies to anyone trying to view the older pics, Photobucket has become a massive ad burst every time I login. They also want money just to keep the pics going with a tiny amount of bandwidth. I use imgur now, much better. Also tend to attach the pics here since I pay for the membership anyway.
One of these days I'll start saving the pics in each post and attaching them manually.
EDIT:
I started uploading them today since apparently Photobucket wants $400/year to keep hosting. They can go fuck themselves. Sorry for the ass pain, let's keep PBB alive and kicking with threads like these. You can still right click and open the image to see it until I update them all. I'll do the first page then move onto the latest pics and update them in reverse order.
Maybe I'll check out Tapatalk finally. Thanks!Yeah that's a bunch of horse shit. I wouldn't pay it either. It's pretty easy to post pick from and I phone with Tapatalk too

Yup, I went to Imgur a few months back. Very little ads. You're right, that many ads means they pissed away their capital and they're relying on those clickbait ads to keep their revenue stream.You arent the only one my friend. My build thread is gone too.
I have probably one of the highest end computers on this board and a 250mb connection and photobucket rapes my computer. It's just a terribly designed website. They just drove the nail in the coffin. I switched to flickr 2 or 3 months ago, thank god.
I understand you gotta make money, but if 50% of the screen space has ads, you are doing something wrong.
Im shock that they did this my self and your right ... I need to look in to a new way to up my upload and save my photos.Maybe I'll check out Tapatalk finally. Thanks!
I think Photobucket will disappear altogether in about a year. No point in keeping them around if it's $400/yr. Basically makes 99% of their customer accounts useless and this is a desperate business strategy on their part.

I'll have an update for you guys soon!
I heard there's a hack to getting the images to show up anyway...still looking to see if there's truth to it. Hopefully I can get it working for a little bit and switch over all the images.Im shock that they did this my self and your right ...

it really sucks that sooooo many treads are going to die
Since I've been a paying member for a hot minute they were "kind to me" and mine will work for a little while longer, so longs as I keep my account status up. Then I get an email that says my account level is no longer an option so I need to upgrade to a currently offered account by my next billing cycle, and the only currently offered account for hot-linking is the $400 on time bill jam. I say :flipoff2:, I'll backup everything tonight and shut it down.I heard there's a hack to getting the images to show up anyway...still looking to see if there's truth to it.

Great business strategy for them. Bait and switch always works out. If they had this much bandwidth going out, then they just screwed up their advertising and capital control. No other way around it. Unfortunately there are people and businesses that would rather pay $400 than deal with it. Hopefully they still go under :laughing:Since I've been a paying member for a hot minute they were "kind to me" and mine will work for a little while longer, so longs as I keep my account status up.
