My axles haven’t looked this good since this picture was taken about 3 years ago. But I am taking some time to clean them up and give them a fresh coat of paint before heading out to Moab for EJS 2019!

I took a couple of the old control arms joints and made my own thread chasers. I wanted to clean out the threads in the ends of the control arms and track bars. Ground a few grooves in them, got them good and hot then quenched them real fast to harden the threads.

I put this little strip light in the underside of my Tuffy Security Cover. It may not be much, but it puts out enough light to see what’s in there.

I’ve had the compressor now for a few years. I like it, but I do wish it was bigger. Once the new shop is build and wired, I think I might have to look for a decent 220v compressor to replace it.

THESE ARE NOT MY WELDS!Just wanted to put that out there. 😉 When I got my Rubicon axles, they had different brackets welded on for coil overs. This was an example of one of the better welds. I have no idea how this stuff didn’t break off.

I got overruled on the JB weld idea.
I got overruled on the JB weld idea. So we notched the truss. This does weaken it slightly, but not enough to be a concern.
