Re: Just a Cherokee on tons
Oooo looks whats hiding, looks like some serious floor mods will be requiered for a driveshaft and possibly relocating both pedals
its kinda like a chandeler in a haunted house
2 levers for 4wd, does this mean i can have 8wd:wierd:

Re: Just a Cherokee on tons
reclocked the Atlas today, also installed new poly trans mount, the daystar mount i used is centred, factory mount is offset to the pass side, so im gonna redrill the clayton crossmember .75" to the pass side, im also gonna add a .25" spacer between the trans and trans mount for clearence between the clayton crossmember and Atlas, heres a pic of before and after of reclocking, ill still will have to take a little out of the floor but wont be nearly as bad as before and pedals will stay in place
Before
After
i also made some control arm mounts out of 1/4" wood for mockup never took pics of em though

Re: Just a Cherokee on tons
Its really hard to tell from the pic, but the drivelne still wont clear? The tube on the driveline is definitely smaller than the flange on the end of that atlas... Wait I think I just saw what I thought was a shadow but was actually a chunk of floor you already took out?? As far as that daystar mount, I ordered the same one from rustys. The picture showed a mount offset just like the stock one... I called them and accused them of sending me the wrong mount. Oops, why dont they offset those guys. I was also gonna make a suggestion to grab a rail shifter and setup from Rad Design so you could really control that AW4.
Like the build, Looking forward to the progress.

Re: Just a Cherokee on tons
the pic is with the camera resting on top of the pinion yoke, at ride hight a 3" driveshaft would clear but on up travel it will rub, i guess thats what i get for running 5" of lift with 60's, and yeah im be getting some sort of aw4 shifter eventually, ill look into the rail shifter, thanks
