Wes' wrangler build

Got the crossmember all finished, finished welding in the towers and threw on some paint

I am still waiting on the frontend so I will probably move onto build the rear shock towers and maybe even install them next so that part will be done in the rear.
 
Got the rear axle out and built the truss for the upper links and to hopefully keep the axle straight.

Ill grab my rear links tommorrow and hopefully get the real links in by the end of the day wednesday. I changed my plan a bit and I am sticking 12" bilstien 9100s both front and rear and I am also going with the bilstien airbumps on all four corners:cheer:
 
Excellent. I'm diggin' the middle finger knockout on the front diff truss.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't paint well. :awesomework:

Thanks, the plasma table definetly makes building stuf alot funner. I am definetly not a painter:haha: Just dont have the patients for it after I fab the stuff I just am plain out of it usually.
 
Also, why did you put your lower link mounts below the frame?

Too much stanky on the hangdown?

On my rig, we did that and realized how vulnerable they are. We tucked the rear link mounts up above the frame rails.
 
They are fairly long and it will sit low. If I put them up on the inside of the frame I would have to notch the frame rails to clear them at full compression. Its doable but would require a bunch more work and I dont have the time at the moment, I am squeezing it in between paying rigs

I got the front track bar just about done and I should have my rear links back next week so Ill get to that end.
