donor parts from an already built running jeep seems like a poor idea.

got to smike\'s last night, and realized my u-bolts were a little loose and the broken bottom leaf on the driver rear partially fell out...   i pulled the other half out and tightened all the u-bolts, looks like i\'m going to use those add a leafs after all.    also planning on dropping the tank, possibly get a  new tank and i will be running new lines and getting a new fillerneck.

got my front aussie in tonight, with a little help.  now i just have to put the rest of the axle together, and start on the rear...
the gas tank is on the floor, tank looks good, got a new sender, i\'m going to run rubber fuel line.  i\'ll put a couple of pics up soon

by the way, i put 1 add a leaf in to replace the broken one (and to compare before i put the rest of them in).  the ride height is 1/8th of an inch lower than the non add a leaf, interesting...
