Nice tube splice dan. it makes it easier with the trueing bar huh. I think you are gonna like this rig. Lots of room inside but narrower than a toyota and longer than a sami. I know Im stating the obvious, but it makes me miss my YJ and want to build another or a cj. Are you going to do tj flares for fender clearance? what springs are you using up front? Looks great man you do awesome work, and fast. :awesomework:

wheelinjp,

my Jeep's for sale and you don't even have to build it. It's got a lot of goodies and plenty 'o' power.

Ive seen it in the for sale section. Very nice rig for anyone shorter than 6ft. I am a slender 6ft2in 365lb man that has built a nice cj5 and sold it cause I didnt ever fit, even after knotching the fenderwells. Mine was similar to yours, d44s f/r locked f/r with blazer springs all around on 36in tsls witha full family cage, 350 th350 and dana 20.I am currently finishing up my full size blazer build, and after that I will likely just buy a rubicon unlimited and lift it, put my one tone running gear in it and drive it around and to the trails.

Sorry for the hijack, carry on the great work dan.

Might be a silly question so just humor me, but those rear calipers seem aweful horizontal... How are you planning to bleed those out?

You can always unbolt the caliper from the mount and throw a spacer between the pads and bleed it that way.
