Subscribing--this is looking really good! Cant wait to see the finished project---well, not sure if projects are ever finished... But rollin on those 35's !!

Looking good.

Wondering why you modified the crossmember? It shouldn't have caused any problems as it was.

My mount for the upper link sits exactly where the stock crossmember bracket sat. Plus mine must be different then newer truck because the front driveshaft was bottoming out a lot sooner then it should be.

Looking, good, 2nd gen SAS are fun

some clarification of the crossmember mod

yea the welds arent pretty but they are strong.

 

[damarble]

Looks beefy. My welds weren't the prettiest on those brackets either, but after cutting them off tonight and seeing the penetration, there was no need for worry!

 

[TarHeel085]

brakes hooked up, and third link mount. gotta love friends, picked up a JK stock upper arm and stole the axle mount off it more jeep parts and the "cut & turned" bumpstop

 

[damarble]

I'm getting this strong feeling of deja vu....

 

[00whxploder]

not that there is much interest in this build, but im documenting non the less. front axle is out.

the arms i got are 2" OD, .370 wall with large Rubicon Express joints on each end. the coils are rubicon express 5.5 TJ coils

price?

 

[TarHeel085]

not to much done, got my steering brackets cut, they are 3/8 steel plate. also trimmed up the fenders slightly. not 100% yet

 

[coco944x4s]

how much for the body lift?

 

[TarHeel085]

well shes headed to the local 4wp today for completion. i no longer had the resources at my disposal to complete it at home so my friends up there have volunteered to help/finish it.

 

[TarHeel085]

she emerges!

 

[Tbars4]

...That sure isn't the 4WP's I go to...You can't even get parts the same day...

..:scratch:..So, what all did you have them finish up for you???

 

[TarHeel085]

lol yea i had to get it out of the garage so it could be towed up there. im going to have them finish the steering and panhard bar mount and then ramp it for shocks. my welder went kaput so i cant finish without it.

 

[GRNMACHINE]

I Dig It!!! Any plans for the cleaning up the fender cuts/holes in rear fender? Were you able to sell the grey tupperware?

 

[IZwack]

Looking good Tar!

 

[00whxploder]

Okay what did you do about steering?

 

[TarHeel085]

Okay what did you do about steering?

had to switch my plan on the steering. going with a toy box outside the frame. also going with WJ high-steer knuckles and bigger brakes using the JKS knuckle spacer. ill be using heims and tube as my drag link
