I did forget to add that I built a cage as well and I was able to use it as a lesson for some of my advanced kids on how to bend and cope tubing. It's not fully finished, there are a few more gussets and things I want to attach. It is too damn cold to drive with the top off right now so I think...

Nothing like having my thread die for almost a year (that's on me). Coaching two different sports and taking my wife a vacation last summer took up a lot of time. But I was able to get a lot done last summer right before school started and football really got kicked into high gear. I ended up...

Are these still available?

So a couple pics of how the fuel cell was hooked up, as well as what I did to the rear of the frame to make my new "bumper/crossmember" mount. I just found a thread on what people used to hook the fuel cell up to accept the stock pump. Then for the mounts on the frame I just cut and welded some...

So as most builds evolve, I was inclined to sell the super duty axles...but I used the proceeds to buy a more stout t-case with 4.3:1 low range. I figured I would just beef up the stock axles and run what I had until I was more financially prepared for 1 ton axles. So in the whirlwind of...

I was thinking $2300 for the axles and $500 for the tcase and driveshaft

Thanks for the replies. I think I will go with a line lock and if it turns out to be a bust I will set up an actual brake.

And I will have a np231 with sye and driveshaft ready to go once my atlas is delivered.

I've got a lp dana 30 with a spartan and 4.88 as well as a matching 44 with 4.88 and a yukon zip locker for sale

Question. Has anyone used an inline hydraulic brake? I won’t be doing an e brake on the Jeep. I’m thinking of just making my own since it doesn’t seem like there is a lot to it.

Looking for some 5x5.5 wheels in the 17” flavor but 16 or 18 would work as well. Thank you!

Finally got the skid plate finished and added a little flavor to it! I counter sunk the holes so the stainless bolts sit flush. I will get a picture of that when I get the skid installed hopefully tomorrow.

Finally got the crossmember in and the new linkage all adjusted. The new linkage is nice although I did have to make a small cut in the transmission hump to make a little room. The hammer just wasn't cutting it. Regardless, I like not seeing anything dangle under the jeep (never mind the muffler...

I then got the transmission crossmember started so that I could flatten the belly as much as I could without cutting into my floor. As much as I like welding and fabricating I truly hate cutting into the body of the jeep since my old xj. So the skid should only be about 3/4" off of the frame...
