I haven’t posted an update on the willys in a long long minute. I guess life has been extremely busy. My wife and I bought an old farm house and started remodeling it so that and working all the overtime I can has become my life. Also replaced my Chevy with a Cummins 👍🏼👍🏼. I am currently in the...

Also just ordered my steering wheel. :cool:

I've been working away on the willys a little bit here and there. No major updates but small progress is progress none the less. Ive got most of the trans tunnel patched back in and the trans shifter and tcase shifter are mounted and functional. I got a steering column out of a mid 60s Chevrolet...

Got the steering box mostly installed. I still need to make a mounting point for the top bolt on the box. The intermediate shaft runs under the motor mount perfectly. I picked up an old cj2a steering column that I'm going to start modifying to work with this setup.

It's a 3 bolt out of a 2002. I was looking for a 4 bolt but the ones I did find were so rusty they looked like they came off the titanic or were leaking pretty bad.

I picked up a steering box out of an astro van today at the junk yard. Looks like it should work out pretty well.

Damn I think you're right

That's an idea! I might give that a shot!

As long as it is a forward throw. I'll look into the rodeo box also.

Yeh, I'd be concerned about the tire coming in contact with the box on full lock if it were mounted outside the frame.

Does anybody have experience using a steering box out of a 1999-2004 f250? I was going to use the xj box but it's a reverse throw and it wont fit where I need it to. The ford box is a forward throw and I assume it's better (beefier) than a xj box. Should fit pretty well if I can get power...

Shackles are done. Unfortunately my drivers side main leaf is bent and is throwing off my shackle angle.

I intend on spending as much time as my wife allows on the jeep this weekend X-D seriously though my shackles and shackle hangers showed up 4 days early. Ruff stuff really is great. So I'm going to spend the day welding and getting the rear springs situated.

Not much to report this past month. The jeep became a storage bin. Took a couple hours of digging to work on it yesterday! Been pretty busy but I did fab up a track bar bracket and I have some shackle hangers and shackles on the way from ruff stuff. I picked up a Rubicon Express adjustable track...

Thanks, the springs I have now are stock xj cherokee springs. I'm going to run them for now and see how I like the spring rate then decide if I want to go another route.
