I think I've seen it. Is it called the cj7 stretch? I think he's using a third row seat from a suburban witch I have one of those. I did look into it some. But with the racing seats and jr dragster 5 point harnesses they won't have to use car seats. I hate car seats for wheelin cause they bounce all over the place. But yeah it's a good idea. Thanks for the input.

I got my jeep over to my dads shop this weekend and managed to get quite a bit done. I had my wife and kids with me so it was a family effort. HaHa. Well I finished my cross over steering, finished mounting the rest of my shocks, also installed some cool l.e.d. tails. We also were able to get rid of the kids for the night and got some hot pics of my wife with the heap. We cut loose first night without kids in 7mo.

The new tail lights. I'm hoping to hit snow for the new year. I have a two weeks off for x-mas and new years so I plan to kick ass and get **** done. I may have to sell a kidney for parts but I only need one anyway right? Any vendors in the x-mas spirit? I need a driveline and a pair of 35 spline FF axles:lmao:
I know what you mean. Why do you think I have three kids ages 1, 2, and 3:sex: She is a great co-pilot tho, as long as I don't get out of the drivers seat........cause then I'm the co-pilot lol :booo:
Yes on the tie rod it will match the drag link. Plus I'll prolly flip it for a little extra on approach. And someday when I go 60 front Full hi steer........someday.
I used to run dana 70 axles and a spacer made out of a 60 hub then bought the 1541 35 spline cut to length axles for 99 bucks here

Need a fix....:redneck:
Update?????:corn:
Update?????:corn:
Well I wish I could say I got more done other than changed the water pump since I was off for 18 days. But I cant. I got so wrapped up in working on my dads samurai my poor 7 just sat there and now I'm back to work and bummed........However x-mas is over and I can get back to being Mr scrooge!
So coming up is finishing the brakes, get the rear gears in, buy and install rear shafts and drive line. Soon to be licenced and on the road:cheer:
Okay so I got some work done the other day. I pulled the rear out installed the gear set, also cut off the original upper control arm mounts a built about a year ago and re did them for vertical heims.(I don't know what I was thinking before:shaking
I also finished welding out the brackets and tabs that were just stitch welded. Here are some pics. Sorry my point and shhot was acting up. so for now you get the phone pics.
Just found out my axles and drive line just showed up........too bad I'm stuck at work all weekend:flipoff2:

Okay so I have my Driveline and axle shafts. Gonna try to get them in tonight. I did run into a small hic up...the 35 spline axle shafts are much larger than the 30 spline axles. I guess if I had known I was going to go that route I would have bored the spindles to spec before I narrowed and welded the housing back to gether....:shaking: Oh well live and learn. So now I'm fabricating a pilot tool that will guide a 1 9/16" drill bit straight thru the spindle with a milwalkie hole shooter
Should be interesting.
So my goal for the day.
-Install cv driveshaft
-Bore out spindles
-Cut axles down to length
-Install axles
-Seal diff and lube
This will get me power the the rear finally and next will be brakes. Also Tires will be here Tuesday.:smokin:
I'll try to get some pics posted tonight or tomorrow.

Nice!
One question though, are you planning on some sort of shield/cover for the pump/rubber hose to protect it from (god-forbid!) suspesion component breaking, or driveline, or a stick coming up thru there? Should be fairly easy to accomplish, ya think?
