Ijust cant do everything at once. None of us can, but you confuse us when you talk about doing 8 different things all in a weeks time.

So what yer sayin is my brain is to fast fer yall. ADHD, what? Just messin' Josh. I can relate to having 'all this stuff' you want to do, but I've come to terms with waiting until something breaks or doing a build as time permits. There are, however, some things I really want to get done before I 'wheel my junk after I get home Dave G

So thank you jack for welding the rear axle for me.
Got the axle welded and bolted back in. Finally done with that. Went to bleed the brakes and found out that i cant get the front bleeder screws to open. So i went and got new calipers. Also got new brake pads. That should fix the problem.

So i got the spring perches and shock tabs welded finally and bolted the axle in for the last time. Got the rear brakes bleed as good as i can untill the fronts are done. So here is why i hate the dang jeep. I went to bleed the front brakes and cant get the dam bleeder screws to open. So i went down to auto zone and got the calipers. And now i just dont have the drive to work on it. This "2 weekend max" project has become a never ending money pit and pita. So I need some encouragement. I just dont think it will ever be finished. This seems to be harder than a frame swap which only took me a month

Use some large vice grips and muscle to crack those bleeders open. Then you can take those calipers back and get your money back, and they should have new bleeder screws you can replace with. Or you can do like I did on the Bronco, and just keep using vice grips on the rounded off bleeders. They don't have to be cranked down tight. Worse case scenerio you break the bleeder screws off, then in which case you can use the new calipers. But I'd sure as hell work on them until they either cracked loose or broke off, you've got nothing to lose. If you aren't strong enough, eat a bacon sandwich or find someone that is.
