    Not sure if I'll make it at this point.

    Lift is already installed. I can wait for the UBJ and LCA bushings.

    How about you guys?

    So... I guess this is a little late, but here are some pics from the last Mod Day.



    Jasper decided that if everyone was distracted outside he'd raid the pantry.


    Had to get creative with one of the bolts for the intermediate shaft.
    Big thanks to @Pella


    All in all, was a good day. Got some shit done... and @MattJakobs made it home on his new thirds... made it home LATE... but made it home. :thumbsup:

    As for future Mod Days after the "Great sheeple panic of 2020" is over...

    This will be the 8th "Official" "Mod Day" for us in the 209, at my place... Probably 14th or 15th for us 209ers if you count unofficial Mod Days etc, and work that's been done at @foxrcing07 place.


    Where: My place (details will be PMed to those interested)

    Start the conversation below and lets see what kind of shit we can get in to.

    Thinking @Blue Canary may have a rear bumper to install.

    @Motofox may have some fenders to cut

    I'm going to try and finish some projects, but I think I will still have at least a front diff to install and Harrop locker to wire.

    Assuming we can fit it in between the other stuff, I've got an ECGS bushing to take care of.

    Starting to click off some projects

    Bearings pressed... I'm fabricating a press fixture for the hubs. And still need to press hubs off a 3rd set of spindles in order to get to some brake backing plates.




    I've already verified the ring/pinion on the axle I bought is 5.29




    Also tested the elocker by hooking it up to the truck... tests good to go :thumbsup:

    Slow getting arou d this morning, but the 3rd will be replaced today. Gotto go get oil for the rear end, more brake fluid, and some rear brake shoes before I tear the rest of the way in to it.
