Went to Wilmington yesterday to get some parts, Got a disk brake conversion kit with calipers, rotors, pads, bigger master cylinder, rebuilt kit with stronger bearings, chromoly shafts and some stock ones. Hoping to get that done during the week and be ready to put in.
Awesome!

we haven't updated in while. been busy with life and collecting parts. We got a HP front diff, and then picked up a V6 third member yesterday. The dual case adapter is still on back order, was told it will ship next week. picked up a conversion kit to change the forward shift T-case to top shift. been looking at a triple stick shifter to keep everything up and tight but, haven't made a choice yet. We Took the Cruiser to Windrock park in TN (GSMTR) for a week had a blast and Garrett is getting ready to go run the Rubicon trail. So, hopefully we will start putting it all together when he gets back. searching for gears and lockers now.

You suck @4LowandSlow 
Have fun and be safe on the Rubithon. I'd give you my brothers info for you guys to meet up with in South Lake...but that would contradict my 'be safe' recommendation above!

Talked with my dad. When I get back from my trip we are going to take the diffs over to ECGS and get the 5.29’s and installed. Then it will be putting all the drive train together and then building a custom tube bed for the truck

Did some painting today on the knuckles and brake caliper mounts, and have been welding on the axle adding some knuckle gussets, and will be welding on the diff guard i got from marlin. Hint the color the truck will be!
Damn dude, that's a s*** ton of weld. I hope you took your time doing that, moving around and letting the part cool, because that much weld on top of the knuckle ball has a good chance of turning the axle housing into a smiley face.
Do yourself a favor and check to make sure the axle housing is still straight before you do any more work to it.

He didn't weld anything longer than about 3/4 of an inch at a time. He moved side to side top to bottom taking pauses through the process
That's good. Would still recommend checking the axle for straightness. Much easier to correct now than to detect a problem down the line.

Got some more progress today, pressed the front studs in and cleaned up the front hubs and stuff to get ready to be assembled, as put in the lower studs for the knuckle. Still waiting to get the upper ARP studs from the top for the high steer then ill be able to put the front axle back together.
