The "Hope I get done before Winterfest" List.....

yup, they are so pretty, it seems a shame to mount them and get them dirty, we have been swapping the D60 front in and a 9" rear. We also did a triangulated 4 link front and the PCS steering. Still have to do all the cutting brakes also. He just bought a dyantrac high pinion rear steering axle for it also. It won't be going in right away because we are gonna have to narrow the rear frame for it.

Tyler(Team Willys) used those on the LS2XJ and that thing did great at Harlan! That TJ oughta hang right there with you and Brian!

Yeah I seen the pics of it, I did a complete build on this TJ a little over a year ago with a Clayton double triangulated 7" stretch with Genright tank, atlas, blue torch rockers and comp corners and grill gaurd stinger. This time I am doing a stretch on the front with a triangulated 4 link and the 1 ton axles and cutting brakes and full hydro steering. He has been coming down from Columbus,Oh to help on it. We have become pretty good friends over the year. I talked with him for about 6 months through emails while he was still serving in Iraq and then did the build when he got back. We still have todo the hoops and shocks and then it will be back on the ground, then swap the steering pump and do the orbital valve mount and plumbing for that, then do the cutting brakes. It will have no problem running with Brian and me. Depending on how the weather is will decide if I will be driving mine or not though. My heart does not react to cold very well. I really miss the snow runs I used to do.

Finish tow hooks, Better rear tow point, transcooler, possibly remove AC setup, 2x6 rockerpanels, frame stiffeners, possibly 8.8, tracbar

Started the rockerpanel installation. Picked up an 8.8 a couple months ago. Dont know if it will make it in or not.

Good call, my rockers have stayed in one piece because of mine.

Hoping to bump it up to 4", put 33's on, swap the rear axle, regear the front and swap in my t-case with SYE but it will probably just get the axle swap, front gears and still be on 31's!

 

[99SJ_Ex]

Finally got NEW TIRES!!!!! Cooper Discoverer STTs have been aMAZing so far!
It's only taken 2 years to do... :S
