Been traveling quite a bunch for work. Frame was painted back in May. Finally installed it yesterday evening and a new windshield was installed today.

Cody came through. Dropped the brand new frame off at a place to get prepped and painted today. Should have it back in a week or two.

Thanks again Mark. Cody has one on order for me.

Thanks Mark, Dead Jeep had none when I checked yesterday. I'll see if I can get hold of Cody through Beth's Facebook. She is friends with Cody still.

Anyone got any sources for a good condition used frame or able to recommend a non Chinese new?

Got it regeared to 4.56 by Keith. My work has me all over the place, Indy for the next two weeks and then Miami for two more right after that. Hoping things lighten up in April.

Hi George, good to see you over here. Been a while since we wheeled together, I think you still had the Grand back then.

Also take a look at the control arm bushings and track bar bushings.

Ah, dang, I figured you might be in So Cal based on what you did for work at the time you moved out there. Was down further south from you earlier this year in SD for the MLB Combine back in June.

Thanks Jeff, I've already scheduled with Keith for the end of this month.

Wish we could do 2023, but just not in the budget for next year.

BTW, where in CA are you? I'm in Redwood City, San Leandro, Elk Grove and Roseville this week.

As a side note, the last time I was in his shop, just around Independence Day, we were talking and it turns out Carl McIssac was due in the next week to get an LS swap on his TJ. SMH.

The swap is complete, saw it on Facebook

LOL

Thanks Mark.

Long story short, I drained the gear lube from the front axle to change it out. Metal shavings galore from the factory 4.10s, popped the cover off and sparkly diamonds, metal shavings everywhere and a ton of excess backlash. I've recommended Ratchets to folks many times, but, has anyone used Keith f...

Hey Ryan, hoping to do the Rubicon in 2024 with a friend from Canada that wants to go out there. Planning on wheeling in South Dakota in the fall of 2023.
