96XJ build in Pennsylvania

[Stukboy]

Starting the front bumper and winch mount.

The bumper isn't done yet but should be getting back to it soon.

Starting the inside cage. I bought a cage from someone and it was for a 2Dr so the front was pretty much done. I cut the bars to the "B" pillar to shorten the cage up.

A lil word of advice....make sure to bolt that track bar bracket on as well

Make sure the drag ling and panhard bar are the same angle.

Got to hand to you, looks like you work really fast and get a lot done, pretty nice. You may want to add some extra bracing to your frame side upper control arm mount. That and your going to want and double shear your stacked hiem drag link mount on the steering knuckle..

The work actually took about 3 months. Then I broke it and it has sat for almost a year. I finally got it fixed and decided to put up pics I had taken during the build.
I still have a ton of parts and a ton of work to do. I was happy to get it running and thought I would show it's current condition.
More pics will follow as I get back to working on it.
The knuckles are temporary as I have flat tops.
By track bar do you mean panhard bar? Or are they basiclly the same thing? Anyway it is bolted and welded. Thanx for the advice.
I think the drag link and panhard are pretty close to the same angle. Since it isn't street legal and will be run mostly at low speeds close to perfect is good for me. Until I have issues of course.
Thanx for the comments,
Stukboy

Nice build man! As you know, mine is very similar.

How have the waggy 44s held up to 36s? Stock shafts?
