swap 33's from cherokee to yj, install 31's on cherokee.
pull front locker from cherokee, install in yj. install spider gears into cherokee.
paint/install front bumper(optional)
weld/paint/install tube fenders(optional)

oh and while were doing that, also building on the whitesnake project, welding on rear perches, tack welding on front coil buckets and 3 link, building upper coil bucket and shock mount, building upper link bracket, building frame side trackbar mount and axle side mounts. cutting/rewelding/sleeving/gusseting tierod, the short list on the whitesnake build lol....

You mean Meat & Beer..... Free beer if ya'll want to come help swap some axles....

Thanks to Infectious Offroad and 4 Wheel parts, we got it all done and driving.

It was a lot of work but Rebecca's Jeep is lifted, locked, on 33's and driving.

Saturday morning we got started early with the rearend, big thanks on Saturday go to Dale and Dawn for helping a ton, we got the d35 out d44 in, and the original d30 front out. Was about 12hrs straight work on saturday. We ran into one major hangup, we forgot to order ubolts for the d44(when in the my yj used a different setup), thanks to 4wp for being able to hook us up with some they had on hand in the shop.

Sunday morning we started early again, coffee and donuts. Roger came in early, we stripped the open carrier out of the d30, torched off and ground out the spring under pads off the d30 out of the whitesnake jeep. Josh came in hungover but willing ..... we got the front axle in and perches welded in by around noon. Josh and Roger helped hugely stripping the locker out of the cherokee and putting the cherokee back together with an open diff. Rebecca changed out the pumpkin while josh and roger did the axles and brakes. I was busy swapping the locker to the 4.10 carrier. Once the majority of the front axle was buttoned up Josh and Roger went to meet their own committments.

Larry came about 10 minutes later, then Dale and Dawn came again. We finished up the little stuff of brakelines, and bleeding brakes. Put the wheels on. And gave it a test drive. Found that because of the t-case drop we put on, the 5speed was pushing itself out of 2,4,r gears. Some quick work with larry's assitance we got the shifter boot trimmed to not interfere.

And finally Rebecca got to drive her improved jeep, I was slightly worried because her phone was at the garage... Jokingly i told everyone if she isnt back in 30mins we go for a search party. Rebecca came back in 10 minutes with a smile on her face...

Thanks again to everyone who came and to Infectious for their support and encouragement. What a great group of people to have with us on and off the trailer. Your guys are the bomb Diggatity. Pictures coming soon.

Amazing!!!!!

Cool
