REBUILT Jeep First Test Drive!!!

what's up good how you doing another day out here on the jeat the Ruby what we're gonna do is we're gonna tighten all these control arms because they're not fully torqued down yet we're actually gonna put this on an own last video we said not to use this but there was a comment down below that I kind of thought about and they recommended this would work better than the drop because that kind of is too low there it should be at a better angle so it should be lifted up higher so we're gonna do the stock arm and that should fix the problem there we're gonna start by reaming and hole through that some it will work for our high mend and bolt so let's get started so we just dropped this drag link if you will down and now we're gonna use the pitman arm puller to take off this six inch drop so we can install the stock pitman arm using this pipe wrench in this bar we've tightened up this pitman arm a stock one and now we're gonna put this bar back on here that gives it a better angle and the bars are a lot further apart so that should help a lot we also got this part of the drag link tightened up now we got to take off the wheel to tighten this section up here and that's gonna give us a lot better access to them Hines we got all that tightened up now we're at those wheel back on and we're going to check the tow adjustments if it has toe-in or toe-out [Music] all right so we got these anti rock curry sway bars tightened up everything's adjusted properly all we need to tighten up is these nuts here but for now we're gonna go ahead and pump the brakes because if we don't have any brakes right now got these front brakes pump through now we're gonna move on to the rear I can serve a like Camaro alright guys so we just turned it around that drives great the steering doesn't bind upfront anywhere so the steering is up to par everything works so now we're gonna put the rear track bar on and then we're going to tighten all of the control arms now we're just putting in a new grease fitting and we're gonna put in all the hardware we got there's the Heim that's gonna go on the other end and on that end we're gonna put this right here and it's greasable let's go he's going under the Jeep and we're putting on that beautiful rear track bar that you're hardly ever gonna see but it's beautiful so if you do see it you're gonna know this thing is built and restored and all everything in between which side goes up that side goes up towards that that goes towards the bottom all right so that rear track bar is on and tight rear control arms are already tightened so we got to tighten those front control arms because we have not tightened those yet so we're gonna get that and then we're probably gonna flex this thing out get all the controllers tightened up everything's tightened up now we're gonna flexi snap in the hardtop just so won't fall off we've never tried 4x4 heavy oh I haven't taught the air lock down there you hear the pump for the lockers go under there CPA you gotta turn the Jeep off on the top we get up front here make sure nothing binds go real slow I don't want them bars to collide whoa don't run into some bushes man but it's flexing real nice the thing is flexed out real nice it's almost tucked in the rear on the other side you still got more all right I mean it seemed like the air lockers were working on the other or no lockers hey that curry anti-rock is doing great oh you might want to put some lockers on right now he's crazy he's walking his Jeep he's walking his Jeep oh and he's letting the Jeep go that's how the goon squad does it right there now check your suspension somehow you know I've got a spotter [Applause] [Music] Oh careful now you're good 30 flex down here driving you got a little check engine light I'm gonna take care of [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] both way better painting them and great then you should guess what these are that there let me know what you think in the comments what that is I'm sure you guys will know will be unpackaging that and probably a later video yep all right guys that's a wrap another great day out here with the goon squad where you got to tighten it up a lot of this steering components we got all the control arms tightened up we had a pretty dang good day today so guys I didn't record it but we actually had to swap from the aftermarket injectors back to the stock ones which made it run absolutely smoothly so it ran way better than it did when we first started it and it's running great right now we dialed in the sway bars today we got everything pretty much dialed in in the steering components we will be needing to adjust aful control arms because me adjust that axle and we can't do it with the skyjacker ones they're just not adjustable we also bled all four brake lines which had a lot of air in him from removing every brake line in the Jeep basically from taking the whole Jeep apart so it took a good while to bleed the brake lines it took over an hour so we've been debating on whether we should go with long arms or short arms so we've been doing a bunch of research and a bunch of people have been suggesting stuff so we've decided to probably go with the short arms that are adjustable but they're beefed up so they're gonna be a lot stronger than the stock but they're still going to give us that adjustment so we can put that axles into spec so guys stay tuned for upcoming videos we still got a lot more to go next video will probably be body art color sanding and getting ready for paint the whole Jeep if you're new to the channel be sure to hit
