Also started on a pet platform to sit where the rear seat was.

Great build thread so far! I'll be keeping an eye on the pet platform. Our furry friend has been in the back seat or a while and it just isn't ideal so I want to see what you come up with!

OmgNoWai

Thanks!

Heres a bit more of the pet plat:

So I got my trac lok put into my extra 8.25. Set back lash at .006 which is within factory. I also replaced both axle bearings. I got some from AZ and they stick out further than the other ones. We'll see how the axles slide in.

Little more progress. I found a spare TJ Mammoth Boulder wheel on eBay for super cheap. I also got SUPER LUCKY and found a brand new tire in the same size as my AT2's. Spare tire for under $50 bucks!? Ill take it.

I also found a storage box inside a ZJ at the JY. Snagged it for $10. Ill probably paint it and see if I like it in the jeep.










I started painting the parts from my stock spare tire carrier. I also painted a set of stock tow hooks I found at the JY as well.

I love those wheels BTW, that storage pocket is cool.

I like them a lot too. Problem is only extreme terrain sells them. I got lucky and someone was selling this one on eBay. Ill probably get 4 more to replace my current 16's.

More progress on the spare tire carrier. The bumper that the carrier was originally on was trashed. I found one at a JY and began cutting to transfer the pieces.







Oh and I got this for fun
