Not today but over the last few days I've started on my cage...
And here it is lowered so I can weld the top of the tubes. Hopefully I'll get it all welded up today and start working on the rear downtubes...

New Tires!
I got new tires! Well...it wasn't today, but it was very recently. They are 31x10.5x15 Goodyear Wrangler Authority AT's from good ol' Wal-Mart. MUCH MUCH smoother and quieter on road than my old bald MT Baja Claws and very capable off road as well. I am very pleased.
Sorry the pics aren't that great, I took them with my phone.

Replaced the front u+joint on the rear driveshaft today. I started to feel a little vib the last 2 days and notice a spray of grease on the underside of the trans tunnel. As I drove to the parts store I thought she was going to drop the driveshaft on the road, but she made it to my bros house and I installed the new joint. Also fixed that ghetto lean that my drivers seat had. I'll do a write up on that for everyone with that same issue.

Decided to pull out the axle shims because my pinion angle was to steep. Pulled out the 1 inch block that was in the rear as well because of the severe axle wrap I was getting under acceleration. Got everything unbolted and discovered that the centering pins for the leaf springs were grossly bent and desperately needed replacement. Thankfully I had a spare set in the garage. Changed out the pins, ditched the blocks, and reassembled everything. Took about an 1.5 hours.
