The Jeep is going under the knife.....

I cant believe Chrysler isnt being called on this. In the late 80s early 90s Toyota had to replace frames on their trucks as they did the same thing , every one of them. Such a shame . You TJ guys should get a class action suit goin ! Youd have millions of backers. FjR68

Screw it, Im going to law school so I can file suit....

Well....Parts have started to really arrive!

As of recent.....

35in tires and rims,
artec front axel truss
winch
springs
shocks
replacement spring buckets
some new interior stuff

whew the plastic has started to melt! and its not even all ordered yet.

Sounds like Santa has come early for you, Jim, and, unfortunately, is making you pay for it all!

[pirahnah3]

lol yeah, I was hoping that he would bring me a massive slab of coal (cause ya know im never that great of a guy lol) and that picking thru it I would find some diamonds to help pay for it all.

Plenty still needed so the fun continues! and the pockets get shallower lol.

JEEP > just empty every pocket

I'm really looking forward to seeing this completed build. Are you doing any cage work to reinforce the factory cage while all this other stuff is being done? What spring lift did you end up ordering??

Pretty sure each one of our members credit cards will tell a very different story

Well, small hiccup with some of the build but its been worked thru so things should not have suffered too long of a delay.

With that said, more parts are on the way lol. Custom parts are being built, installation will happen soon!

On the good side the frame repairs are just about done, a few minor spots were found that are currently being fixed. I have been told that I have some frame issues in places that dont usually spawn issues so yeah.....its fun.

I should have some pictured in the new year of her sitting on her new suspension. Stay tuned!!

Can't wait to see more Jim!

Looking at SYE's and came across this on Summit, looks right but I wanted the double check from the folks who know more than I.

Do I have it right?

[Kurt]

Looks right to me. Good price too.

Tom woods makes good driveshafts. Once the axles and transfer case are installed and at ride height, have the shop measure lengths necessary.

I have heard he makes great stuff, but very pricy. I do have an axle and drive shaft place not that far from me that I was going to talk to as I know they do a lot of stuff on large trucks so they should have some beefy material for it.
