    @WranglerTJForum is your truck a long bed or short bed?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I have a random question and this feels like the easiest way to get it out there, does anyone have a PRNDL that they would send me to do some testing with? I am thinking about ways to make the gauges lit better that would be relatively easy and cheap for everyone to use but my truck doesn't have...

    Got the Trans today, Silver Sport Transmissions sent me a pic of it packaged up and wrapped before being picked up by the freight carrier. And it arrived today.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    After doing some stuff for my wife for Christmas, I was able to finish up the license plate light. It turned out great, pictures don't quite do it justice.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Was working from home today so I figured I would start getting a part of the project knocked out so I can start checking stuff off the list. I decided to make a custom license plate light and have it also shine GMC right under the bumper but this is version 2. I think I posted this before but...

    Got the transfer case back because the old man came down. Tested the bushing and Success! I should have a 4wd indicator on the dash in low and high.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Not as much as I wanted to because the rust was worse than expected so I gotta take more off before I can get it better. Not a HUGE deal but it will impact schedule since this is like my second job at this point. I got this welded in but not closing the hole up until I can sandblast the cowl and...

    Rear disc conversion brake line pics and suggestions, need pics.

    I used classic tube for the brake lines to the back and then modified the lines on the axle to go braided stainless to the caliper. All of my hoses are braided stainless, run them on the race car, they will be sufficient on the tow vehicle.

    Working on another smaller patch panel. I have never done any metal work before. Used a dolly and hammer and the vice to get the shape made. My thoughts are get this area pretty well patched up then work on the area that will be covered by the side cowl panel and where the wipers are but that...

    Made this little patch panel to fix some rust. Pretty happy with it to be honest.

    That looks fantastic. I wasn't happy with the pre bent lines I bought so I ended up having my dad make some. He enjoys that kind of stuff and needs a project to keep him going since he is retired.

    Maybe y'all can start making a firewall panel that DOESN'T include the windshield frame so I wouldn't have to make it all myself :D

    Tremec TR-4050 swap

    You're likely going to make me want to go to a 4.10 but my truck was 4.56 factory gears.
