    I would have paid the extra money if there wasn't still a laundry list if thinks to do on it. I did however get the front done today and now have it in full roller. I can't upload a pic from my phon but have it on facebook if anyone is curious. It came out at the exact ride height I was shooting for too.

    Makes me wanna wheel so bad

    The driveshafts came in on tuesday. I installed the rear one the other day. Bad dood. Tonight I built the mount for the ram but ran out of fuel for the welder and didn't get to finish final welding it up. So I decided to run the ram hoses. I tried cutting the high pressure lines with a hack saw because I was out of cutoff wheels. No dice. Called it a day. Hopefully I will get around to messing with it later this week and take it for it's first spin around the block.

    I finally got around to working on this thing again. I started out by running the last few lines for the ram. I also ziptied all the loos hoses and wires that were haning around without fenders on.

    I tried to start it to bleed the ram and no luck. My battery was dead. threw it on the charger and worked on a couple other loose ends.

    I picked a cone style airfilter to get rid of the airbox that nolonger fit under there. I also ajusted the track bar because the axle was too far to the passanger side.

    After the battery sat on the charger for half a day I started it up and bleed the system.

    I went to take it for a spin and learned that the transfercase was in N. I crawled under the jeep and got it in 2H and went on my way.

    It drove fine around the block. I came back home to bleed the ram some more. after adding fluid the top hose on the pump blew off. I slipped it back on and added a hose clamp which was not on there. Then the hose bursted. I guess I need to swap this hose out with the high pressure hose I have left over. my garage has about half a gallon of power steering fluid spread everywhere (walls and all)

    I decided to call it lunch time. I will take some pics after I eat lunch and replace that line.

    I would take it back to the shop that installed it, sounds like a warranty issue from improper install...
