Did the brakes, drove it around. Saw this, I'm not thinking it's too safe. Anyone ever seen shackles that that before?

Looks like I'll be peeling and inspecting tomorrow. Didn't even think about it. I have almost zero rust but good looking out. I can see it developing there. Thanks!

2 days ago but...
I finally had time to finish the HD Off road shackle brackets. No lift kind. Had issues with the bolt size and shackle bushing but got it sorted out. Had to skip drilling holes on one side through the floor because of the lack of solid metal currently there. It seems just as stable as the other side that had the holes through the floor and plate installed (all of that would make sense if you knew the design lol).
Got it all back together and finally got it sitting on the rear tires after sitting for months. Now I have to readjust the a hackle angle. So up it comes next time I'm over there.

used roof flashing to sound deaden another door. you get a 9''x33' roll for 20 bucks and works incredibly well. ive done the roof and the front door panels so far and its makes a 300% difference in road noise, the engine noise is significantly lower, im gonna do the whole jeep for probly less than 100$
and got my liscense plate mount for my tire carrier in the mail
