    Jeep Wolverine TJ build

    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...

    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.

    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...

    Finally got through the holidays, and all the sickness that comes with that! I got the motor mount lift in right before New Years, it was not as big of a pain as I thought it was gonna be. I just bought some cheap aluminum blocks off of ebay with the accompanying hardware and it all went pretty...

    Got it installed. Looks silly without corner guard protection, but I won't do that until I need to chop the fenders. I am thinking about cutting a little plate underneath the tailgate just so it kinda ties in.

    I was thinking about using their trusses. I am kinda weird though I enjoy making all the brackets and stuff like that. I think that I will do the front truss from them though. It all depends on where I am at on budget come axle swap time. Thanks for the input!!!

    Here is a picture with a weird glare, but that is all I could get in the shop. It will be installed tonight or tomorrow once that paint has dried.

    One of the best parts of being a high school welding teacher is, having access to a CNC plasma table. I decided today that if I am not going to run the tire carrier right now I might as well add some tail gate "armor". I quickly got some measurements and found some metal I had purchased over the...
