Finished the new crossmember and radius arm installation. Had to make new lower coil mounts to correct a coil misalignment issue. Still have to fab a new lower track bar mount and lower shock mounts.
Thank you. How long have you had them and how do you like them?

Check back in this thread somewhere...I think I posted pics of it with my matching M-416 behind it. It is "Islander Blue"...remember the YJ Islander edition! LOL But I don't have the gay looking sun painted down the sides at least. I've had TJ's and I had a YJ that I never got to drive...I like the CJ5 better (I say if you're considering a CJ 7 go ahead and get a YJ though). It feels like you are driving a go-kart...especially with the 304 under the hood.

Well, I would actually much rather a TJ but they're a little out of my price range. Plus, a YJ is a lot cheaper to make look good. I want one with a 4.0 tho.

Yeah TJ's are nice. I had a YJ with a 360 in it...but I never got to drive it.
But now I need to find a CJ6 (which I used to have too) to match my 5...not the same color though! LOL THis is of course once my MJ is finisheder (new word right there) and then get some headway made on my J3000 motorhome.

Spent the day with family for Easter and somewhat unsuccessfully fixing mom's Jeep.
If it's not one Jeep, its the other!

Sway bar mounts!!! My axle looks exactly like that except for the bend in the tie rod. I can't find room for a sway mount!

Your axle looks just like that except your pinion is ~4" lower to the ground. 
Those are Rusty's sway bar mounts. I admit that in the past I was worried about their durability being so tall, but I have used a few sets and so far no problems using them ON ROAD only. Its a must to disconnect off road. We could have actually gotten away with a straight tie-rod but due to future plans and wanting to be able to re-use the DOM for those future plans, we decided to bend it now.

The only problem with Mark's rig is now I can't hardly get into it. Tyler should have welded some step hoops onto the sliders.

Ok ok ok. It looks very similar from the FRONT.
You weren't supposed to look at the pinion!
I'm hesitant to run those again. I can't find the picture but I folded one of those Rusty's mounts in half on my Junk while driving down the road.
