that's a hell of a good build there 94xj!
I'm wanting to do the same but maybe I can stretch ORIs in the budget the first time around

Geez. Why did you buy that many? Lol I only have 2 at the moment.
Edit: I need two caps off the selectable hubs. Mine are busted. Not the whole hub, just the cap that has the torx screws in it

well I found them online for 275$ a peice. problem was the guy wanted a core unless we bought 4. my brother figured he could flip the others for 5-700$ a peice.
he's giving me one for my birthday that's next week so I'm pretty excited I'm getting an axle and he should make all his money back and more. and haha I'll see about that lockout

so I've been crazy busy with school and work and my jeep has been at my buddies fab shop for about two weeks. we work on it when we can and last time I was over there we cut out the vertical braces and welded in the driver's side. last night I was studying for a test I have today and got this picture and a text saying they were gonna finish it up for me! they told me it's done now and I can't wait to see what it looks like! I'm a little dissapointed I couldn't work on it more and finish it up with me there but with working 40+ and school 20+ a week it get hard to find jeep time

well it's 99% finished. just needs paint and a few more gaps to fill but I'm happy with it so far. went wheeling and I never had to worry about hitting them they are so high.
broke my long side shaft in the 30 though
good thing I got one tons sitting in the garage

yeah that's what I kept hearing. "it's a bj axle it's weak" I really don't see having bj as a big problem unless you want to put hi steer arms on a stock knuckle. that's no big deal to me. people jump their superdutys with these axles stock with no failure. I'm excited to start building them.
by the way while I have your attention, did you have to move the rear springs perches?
I'm too lazy to measure my 8.8s width from perch to perch lol

The super duty axles suck, you should sell them all to me LOL
I ran one in my red jeep I just parted out. No issues at all with 39.5 iroks. I prefer the unit hub and bj set up over the kp one. Less weight and strong enough for me.
Did you take the carpet out of your rig when you did the boat sides? I have a new cherokee to cut apart
Pics?

thanks man! it looks okay inside, I'll grab some pics of the inside later. it does look a little funny with the gap in the floor and the vertical braces but I'm fine with it

I'd be interested to see pics inside too.
Planning on doing something like this to mine but I want to keep the doors and windows if possible.
