Mosaics Are Cool
Look what boredom can do… After seeing www.havefunoutthere.com I wanted to make a mosaic of my jeep! Here it is:

Lift Done!
Now I’m officially “done” with the lift thank to the help of Chris. Things done:
- Rear track bar was originally upside-down
- Rear track bar bracket had a loose bolt
- SYE rear yoke nut was loose
- Cycled suspension to check bump-stops
- Got rear bump-stops into cups!
- Sleeved front upper track bar mount (it was hour-glassed due to wrong size bit)
- Rear brake line extension installed
Here’s a couple pics:
Damn you AX-15
Well, my Jeep needs it’s first major mechanical repair… The story:
When driving to pick up my new (to me) tires before doing the lift, my transmission started acting funny. When shifting into fifth, it felt like it stuck. Long story short, I get a call today with the damage report: the main shaft bearings went bad so it was causing things to not line up 100% when shifting. 5th is toast and the synchros have been working pretty hard because of things not lining up properly.
Repairs needed:
New main bearings, new synchros all around, and a new 5th gear…
My wallet hurts. No wheeling or new tires for a while.
Lift Installed!
Lift is done! Special thanks to “BS FAB” for all the help! Thanks go out to Allen, Jimmy, Johnson, and Rudy! Here’s a couple pics:
Lift Purchased!!
I have secured a lift! It’s a Rubicon Express 4.5″ Super Flex lift!!! Now I just need bigger tires so I can install the lift w/o looking like a roller skate!!!
The reason I need tires & not just a lift:

Construction Site
Eric’s firm has a job in San Marcos with land that goes from 500 ft. elevation to 1600 ft. elevation! We made it up to the top. In a few years, there will be 1300 homes in these hills! We could see all the way from downtown UTC area to Catalina island! It was a pretty cool area, and atop the hill it’s perfect for flying slopers!
Here’s a map to where we went. And here’s a couple pictures:
