So I'm just going to continue my build here...at least for the mean time.

So it has been a while....but UPDATE TIME!

Got my cable shifters in...went a little long and a little too thick I think...these things are BEEFY!

Those brake parts will never work, just give them to me and I'll put them to use. :D

Its looking good man, definitely a crazy build.
 
Nice, I recognize the XJ firewall.
 
I don't know what you guys are talking about...there is still SO much XJ in this...

There's the uhhh...ummm...ehhh...firewall!...kinda. Oh, and there's some frame rail still there...somewhere!

:D

Just wait until you guys see it skinned...thats when it shall look bitchin'

You're gonna have to quit calling it a buggy Justin. This thing is rapidly approaching Rock Rod status......

Rock Rod? :D

'Nother update:

Got the boatsides "done". Still need to do a hair bit of cutting, fully weld it up, and dimple the holes. The boatsides will be covered in 1/2" UHMW later on in case anyone was wondering.

Now what you see in this picture should help...ohh...get the motor fired in the next couple weeks! Its two orders, one from Delcity and another place I would highly recommend, VTEWarehouse. VTEWarehouse had by far the best pricing on BUS bars, covers, and more. In the picture are two kill switches (one of which I painted).

And last but not least, and overall shot of how she sits currently:

I've got a sweet set of 42" Iroks on some ultra custom 17" beadlocks that would look killer on that thing. I'm just saying. :)
 
Also been done since the last update (will have pictures soon enough)

-Lots of wiring work
-Ran + cables (with 2 inline kill switches)
-Ran - cables
-Got some floorboards made
-Chopped/Shaved the 14 bolt
-Ran all my fuel lines

Might have forgotten something...but if I do i'll make sure to include it :D

Going to try and get the 14 fully done this weekend by getting the gears installed and the brakes on.
