My long awaited build thread...

[crash2]

Ok--so the rear end is now all done except for mounting the new shocks--which joe will be bringing with him on saturday. But I cleaned it up and pained the last of the un-painted areas. I also contiplated how to mount the shocks. After alot of looking/measuring I ended up having to build a new crossbar and mount the shocks at an angle behind the diff. I origionally wanted them in front but there just wasn't enough room to mount them horizontaly and due to the track bar I could not mount them at an angle--so my only option was to do them how I did...

once again you have proved that you build some of the cleanest looking rigs about. ever think about just encasing one of the rigs you build:flipoff:

Better put some clamps on the frame end of the rear leaf springs or they'll do the bendy thing first time out. For some reason 42's are hard on stuff. :redneck:

I run hughjass traction arms front and rear and still break springs. But.....Anywho... if you need clamps, let me know. I spent some time on the iron worker and have a bunch. I'll bet you are a little more than excited it's almost done!

Hey Mike, I have a question. Are you building the Jeep for yourself and giving up on the Toyota? Or are you making sure at least one rig will work when you want to go wheeling?

 

[crash2]

And so now here is the front 100% completed...

And I finally got a chance to finish up the pins that retain the ram. This is the same method I used on mine about 5 years ago and it has worked flawless ever since then...

And the dash is also 100% wired up--winch control switch/fan control switch (manual over ride-off-sensor control) and both line locks.
I also installed a security switch but for security reasons I won't be showing that....

I had to do a little work here--- It was a little messed up..

ha ha---na I won't be doing a jeep for some time.....

Well since the origional battery joe brought up was toast--he grabbed a new one

Another problem that joe wanted corrected--was the rear wheel stud length.

As you can see they are pretty short with about 3/8" engagement on the lug nut.

So he grabbed some new ones and---its much better now

And here is the rear with new shocks..
