Getting the ball rolling....

[SeansXJ]

well i finally started the axle swap...

got lucky and found a donor at the yard today, snatched the master, booster and prop valve from a '96.

pulled the axles out to clean up and paint...going to Ruff Stuff tommorow to get the front cover, got lucky because Dan said they have 1 left for the next 2 weeks! im going to pick up some shock tabs and weld them up out of the way.

its a start!

 

[SeansXJ]

went up to Ruff stuff today and got a pretty chunky deal on the cover and some shock brackets. there nice guys up there! cool shop and friendly aptmosphere.

i really gotta change the date on my camera

look at my lawn! its hammered, wonder why haha!....yeah i havea pic i found that shows the lines kinda... i use an angle grinder with one of my diamond blades for granite, it cuts like butter and i cut everything on my trucks with it. i put some soft plastic door trim along the lines to keep it safe, on the rear i just cut and folded it..i will take some pics

 

[SeansXJ]

not perfect but it works, you can see a few small relief cuts from me cuttin just a little high.

i think the front came out nicely

 

[Mike1331]

gigitty

 

[Mike1331]

[SeansXJ]

i really could'nt tell you, im sure they do?..i got all mine from work. they cost about 120 a piece, yeah there not cheap! but well worth it, i have used mine for 2 years.
