Got my jeep back today and it is the definition of perfection, no leaks no noise its amazing. Now with a very big dent in my pocket i can work on my next projects.
I was going to have work done on my arb this coming weekend but i think i am gonna have him install my unibody stifiners and weld on my sliders (to the stifiners) and help with some other small welding projects. Then work on my arb at a later date.

Yes i know to most of you its an outrageous price but He did alot of work and has over 7 hours in to it at roughly $75 an hour. I called around and described the work that needed to be done and most shops were the same price range. He basically had to start from scratch to re gear it since the previous setup was wrong he could not use that as a guide line. All bearings need to be replaced in the Diff, Both axle shaft bearings nad seals were replaced (due to my fuck up) and Whole new gears set from randys ring and pinion (yukon gears) etc. So i will be paying my parents back for this weekly for a while.  |
