drove through an awesome windstorm last night.

Got more damaged goods staged-up for build-phase III: Dana 44 axles front & rear.

Rear will be a factory xj axle modified for 5 on 5.5" lugs to match the front hubs. Front will be a f-150 high-pinion axle narrowed to 61", with brackets for the standard 4-link coil suspension.

Nice are you using ford or Chevy knuckles.

Put in my new plexiglas rear windows from KEL-TECH Plastics in Tacoma. $60 for both precut and ready for install (cheaper if you get clear).

Where is the COOLER!!

 

[AwesomeXJ]

Picked up some basic recover gear, 30' strap, snatch block, some clevises, and a clevis mount hitch, for my reciever. I think the last thing I need before I'm "legal" to attend group runs is a fire extinguisher :eeks1:

Probably going to be a high-steer with Ford Super Cab knuckles to keep the 5 on 5.5" hubs. I need to review information on other builds and swaps until a steering solution that makes sense pops out of the noise.
The only firm decision I've made so far is to relocate most of the factory stuff, as shown in the picture below.

 

[larsen]

Pulled the oil pan for modification. Needs additional clearance at the front for the track bar and upper steering stablizer mount.

Had to pause a bit and admire all that forged 4-bolt main goodness ...

installed AA sye and terra 2 low, getting my driveshaft modded tomorrow

 

[dick.breakey]

Yesterday joe put in my new hp non-disco 30(3.55's) and 29 spline 8.25(3.55's). Cut and folded the rear quarters and put some 33x12.50's on it. Also removed rear sway and flushed the rear brakes. Now just need to flush the fronts. Maybe I'll go buy that manual bleeder today...

Oh and I bought a rear tire carrier bumper. Putting that on today.

[muddypunk]

I use 18 inches of clear tubing that fits on the bleeder and a Mayo jar to catch the fluid .This how I bleed by myself .

 

[dick.breakey]

this is all ive done lately. with pics. cutting, axles, wheels/tires, shackles in rear(stock up front), bumper & hilift...

The ground is not level where its parked in the pics, which is why it appears to not be level all the way around. in reality its pretty much dead on.

 

[TORX]

Dude, nice progress!

I'm slightly jealous.

[dick.breakey]

thanks dustin. still need to figure out this 4wd issue. its not kicking in. io tried throwing it in low and it wouldnt work. i wonder if 4h works, but not sure. maybe its a linkage issue. im kinda tired after all todays work, so im not sure if i want to tackle that today or not.

and thanks awesomexj. im pretty excited about it.
