Good to see the progress, keep it coming!💪✊️

Spicer non greaseable is the only ujoint i havent broke even stronger than chromolys

...as a guy that actually full sends i can tell you first hand non greasable is the way to go

Just a tip with ball joints you may or may not know. I think this is relevant because you like the oem style Spicer stuff which i do as well i also like some aftermarket stuff it depends. Some press fit ball joints are splined some are smooth it depends upon what brand usually and sometimes a good brand will have multiple options but this is because when you press in and out ball joints over the life of the axle C or knuckle you wear that press fit hole. So if an axle has already had ball joints replaced i would pay attention to whether or not those joints you remove are splined versus the new ones and most importantly how hard or easy it is to press in your replacements. Just something to watch out for. I've replaced a good number of ball joints and i have dealt with blown out holes and having to find specific repair joints or come up with an idea. One thing I dont like to do is make it difficult to replace later i have run into a ball joint that was welded in and that pissed me off. The most i try to do if i cant find a tight fittings option is peen the surface and or use green loctite retaining compound but usually theres a proper fix. Theres some interesting options out there for upgrades and replacement too. Im running these special real expensive yukon u joints in my chromoly shafts for front 60. They are still greaseable but use a special grease gun sorta like what you use for double cardon joints or chainsaw bars. Im not sure if I'd buy them again since they are so darn expensive but I haven't had a problem. They are a bit higher maintenance because what makes them stronger is no needle bearings so they have special strong metal and without bearings it's as thick as can be but they do need greased regularly. Also i think you need lockout hubs to run them so they aren't always working. But so far so good and i believe they sre rebuildable i dont have anything bad to say about them. Also if you haven't purchased lockout hubs yet you should try to get the metal yukon ones if you can they are super nice i love them its one of those things that just feels good to use definitely worth it.

I always use non-greaseable ujoints, not for the strength but because of the seals. They have twice as many seals as the greasable. I watched a 10 hour series on u-joints that goes in depth as to why non-greaseable are better. I can probably send you the link if you are interested. 😊

Have a home in Ouray, spent a lot of time in the Yankee Boy Basin and in the areas you explored on this trip. Love seeing other enjoy this area!

Give the caps a small tack to the shaft.

I’ve never had greasable ujoints.

I use non greasable u-joints because I am under the impression that they are stronger since they aren't cross drilled.

Amazing!

Looks like golden spike.

What should I be looking for when setting pinion angle on the rear axle? I’ve got a Chrysler 8.25 going in my jeep. Comanche and I am looking to re-weld the spring perches so that everything is kosher.

Great video guys, subscribe …look forward to heading out that way next year camping etc…what was some of the cost per night to camp the sites?

I’ve done it dozens of times, usually on the dirt bikes, and I’ve heard most of the humor, but the way she delivered the “pothole” joke was pretty damn good 👍

Cool video!

Sick build! Would you be able to get me the dimensions of how far the front and rear render stick out from the jeep?

Maybe you could finish in time to be a wild card competitor on ultimate adventure 2k24

Good video. I enjoyed the commentary.

I have a steering box brace on mine from Iron Man. You are going to like it

💪

How is the Hercules chop saw? Good for the price?.. Or should have gone Evolution?

Just got their motor mounts. Very stout. Gonna have to look into this!!!

What primer you use?

Andy is awesome. His company makes super solid components. I have his 4 link long arm and the WJ brake conversion kit.

I love Iron man products. I want this same kit myself. I wonder if it will still work with the Durango box spacer?

I have a M.O.R.E. steering box brace that helps. If you want to take all of the stress of the frame and box, ram assist is the way to go.

Something to think about, I like to double nut my bolts when I run steering heims. I noticed your big stack of washers on your pitman I thought I'd mention that when I have room for it I like to double nut my bolts especially something I drive on the road.

I ran into the same problem with my iron man brace. I have a weld on piece running the inside of the frame on each side. I also have a slightly larger psc steering box. So it was a bit of an ordeal lol I'm also running a front bumper that I've had for I think close to 10 years now it's an arb from a range Rover that I cut down and modified it looks pretty cool actually it fits well and this past refresh I completely tore the jeep down to a bare body and wanted to redo everything and I was looking at new bumpers I like the ones with full protection like an arb and I just couldn't find anything I liked other than the Cherokee arb or there's a couple others but my friend was saying my unique bumper is sorta part of my cherokees identity so i decided to keep it and fix it up a bit and redo the mounts. My front end is stupid strong with all the bracing and stiffeners I do a lot of recovery work and I wanted to make sure I could do some heavy winching I've had a couple times where I've been a little leery under heavy loads. I also set up a rear winch too I haven't gotten to use yet but I'm excited to try it. I can think of a few times a rear winch would have been really handy for an anchor point or recovery. I had one really sketchy recovery in the snow it was actually just a normal car they slid off a bridge and I was having a hell of a time finding traction to winch them up it took like 6 hours. After that specific recovery I decided a rear winch was definitely going to happen you get way more control.

Nice job. What’s your height from bottom of unibody to ground at your projected ride height? Also how much up travel will you see at ride height?

Way to figure it out. Extra work but worth it.

These axles are so expensive in Texas i wish i could find a D60 for $270 lol

From what I heard, they are only closed to motorized vehicles because of overuse. They are still accessible to non motorized vehicles… and hiking,biking,horses. Ect., it is good land stewardship to close some of the far too many overused trails. So yes you can still see these places. You just have to work to get back to these areas now. This is of course my opinion and I am of course wrong. But that is okay. If you are part of the wheeling community you will say no trash ever. No over use. That every wheeler is also an angle and never leaves a trace. That’s awesome and we appreciate that. But not everyone appreciates the black tire tracks across the rocks. Or the leaked fluids….. Like I said. My opinion and I am of course wrong. Glad we got that out of the way. And….. go…

Love the Flat Tops. I live pretty close to there, camped up a few times. It's beautiful. Busy, but fun to explore.

I wish I could of got out there

The host seems to nice and accepting, you need to have a chip on your shoulder. Get 😡 mad.

Land belongs to the people not BLM. Non elected government officials do not have these broad sweeping powers to make laws. People are proving that now to the ATF, look it up.

I just ordered my flares! I would love to have some sliders like those to tie together! Do you take orders?!

I have the same kit. What did you torque everything to?

bro honestly FFFFUCK rockers them shits are there just to create rust

You are an inspiration! Keep up the good work.

Things gonna be nasty on the trails 🤤

I'm still hoping to be up there for a winter shake down run for my build almost everything you've done so far I'm doing to mine 😂besides I'm running coil springs in front Ford 05 dana 60 5.38's no locker yet I'm running a 1989 GMC 14 bolt with disk brakes, no locker yet 4 link and coil spring conversion in the rear, your build motivates me! To get on it but welding in a shop that is a 13'x20' pole and tarp special in 106° isn't fun but summer is my build time but money is tight cause of building my shop, but hey ill geter done now watching you pushes me to get on my game and come play on the western slope

This is cool ive been really curious to see this video. If you still have your carpet out you should remove the insulation off the carpet and add closed cell foam to the floor or even backside of the carpet. I know ive already mentioned this but that original insulation never dries if it gets wet unless its removed from the car. I did dynamat then closed cell foam on top for a waterproof setup in mine that way it can be dried. Im not sure i would run only carpet without insulation because of the heat and sound and such because i like a cozy interior. Search for closed cell foam sound deadening or insulation it doesn't really matter what you use it just has to be closed cell foam amazon has options. I used something called noico green.

Is it stronger to weld some angle iron to the inside of the rocker panel/unibody, or did you do that just to make it easier to install?

Is the next series going to be an LS swap or Cummins swap? :D

ive had bandsaw blades snap and I tig weld em back together

Loving the build man! Excited to see you get it all wrapped up, it’s going to be sweet for sure 👌🏻👌🏻

Wow, those sliders look amazing. I’d like something like that for my jk.

Them Lennox are trash. We go through 5 to one HD Milwaukee
