What did you do with your DII today?

All is well. I wasn't planning on using the Rover engine anyway. It's just funny considering how much I've ran this thing that it didn't lock up. The flex plate or what I guess is the flex plate was in nice shape also. It's been an interesting few days.
The grind marks by the bolt hole are from me cutting one of the bolts off. The cracks I believe were there before.

Upgraded the stock rear trailing arms to 6 degree corrected ones.
Will change the front ones too, as soon as UPS stops jerking around and delivers them too. Now over a week late compared to the rear ones. Ordered them the same time in one order but they were shipped in 2 packages.

so why rear?

And got the 6 degree now compared to terrafirma 3 degree ones. (Yeah, the fronts are coming, haven't just arrived yet)
Can't say how smart etc this build is, as it's my daily driver and not going to see too much hard offroading.
Gladly I have other cars to be smart with

If you're running those castor corrected arms in the rear, I'd recommend swapping over to a u-joint style rear driveshaft to replace the rotoflex coupling. The castor corrected arms will decrease the life of the rotoflex because the constant flexing will create heat in the rubber of the joint, but a u-joint will soak that right up long as you keep it greased.
Nice looking arms!

I do have the drive shafts on the list to be updated at some point and haven't even looked into them that much that there is an alternative for the donut.
Just need to get a few things done before the shafts, like 2" raptor shocks to 3" terrafirmas, new front turrets, possibly dislocation cones, steering shock, a load of new metal to the sills and some for the chassis etc.
