Order some 4:88 gears today from cruiser outfitters. 4x4 labs 6 stud kit with 1ton TRE. Sending my pitman arm to them to taper out for new TRE. WCT is getting my ARBs. ARP knuckle studs. Need to get a diff cover. Mine is a pebble away from knocking a hole in it. Might go with ruff stuff. What's the best studs for bolting 3rd in? My lower ones are beat to hell. Can I order them from Beno or can you get a lower profile option that's rock friendly?

Little update. New gears and arbs installed. Brakes on rear reconfigured now just have to weld on clips to hold the lines. New rough stuff rear diff armor on. Still waiting on new steering arms and 1 ton links to get here. Had Georg get me some front break lines made up so I can eliminate the dust shield on the front.
Started looking for compressor mount options. One is under drivers seat so getting to air line will not require opening hood. Thoughts on this? Also I had to order new siliniod for lockers because I left one in the box when I took them to get built. They lost it. Plans are to hopefully finish up this week or weekend.

Definitely going to be easier to get to the air line there, but it's going to be loud.
I guess it doesn't cycle all that much, though, so the noise might not be that big of a deal.

At first! Until that seal starts leaking
I'd go for under the hood. With the small compressor, the time spent opening/closing the hood is minimal compared to the time spent airing up.
If not, at least put it under the chick's seat for her, uhhh, vibrational benefit

Don't think I would use it much for airing up I guess. Can't do passengers seat cause the fuel tank and she might want that to run all the time It will end up under the hood....
Hott n' Fergie Fresh, I think you need to rotate up your rear caliper bracket 90* to get it out of the rocks.
Feels good, doesn't it? :-*

Yea looking at it again brakes had more protection the other way. But I think JTTMT's are like those pictured above. Reason I was considering changing was due to the fact all my brake lines ran on top of the springs. And bleeders were on the bottom. They should be on top, correct? Georg suggested I move the lines so they don't get crushed by a bump stop. I probably switch them back the way they were.
