    Ahah yes, it was a rescue case, electrical wiring was always the last step over my two project (coil spring and frame swap) and i never gave me the time and patience to do it right. Now i'm in peace :)

    New project to come. I'M getting rid of the 6 bolt lock on my front end.

    I'm going to convert my scout dana 44 with external hub to internal one.

    I've finally got all the part i need for the conversion.

    For the conversion i need part from gm/ford.

    So i source 2 chevy small bearing spindle, ford rotor and hub, chevy galiper and back plate and finaly 2x 19 spline stub shaft

    12592046_10153163655621621_1402831612_o.jpg

    On left 27 spline outer (cj/scout), on right 19 spline outer (chevy/ford/fsj)

    When i bought the jeep, it was drum all the way around with dana 30 and 44 rear. I did swap a complete knukkle/hub/disq/galiper from a cj7 dana 30.

    When i started with the coil spring set-up i use dana 44 from scout 2 for the front and rear. Front was disq brake and i bought a kit from a friend who put suzuki rotor amd galiper for the rear axle.

    But as you may know, scout axle share the same hub/lockout as the cj's dana 30. So the project now is to replace all the weak stuff by better one, and finish the time i was checking the lock bolt (twice a trail sometime).

    So much tired of the loose/breaking bolt and the need to check them at every trail and sometime during the trail.

    No big project by now, but still some improve. Install rear side light.

    13340361_10153443192371621_1621568580_o.jpg

    And Started to put some under light for the jeep for night off-roading. For the moment i only have the front done, but i plan to add some on the side of the jeep. Good result, can't wait to try it on some trail.

    For a 20$ light result are impresive :)
