yeah get the rigs outta it and you are golden...man she looks high i wouldn't wanna get crossed up hitting a hole in that thing i hate my state you'd have cops sitting at the driveway waiting for you to think about pulling it on the street...it's absolutly rediculous i like it

 

hooooollllllllyyyyysssshhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiii$#@#$#@

 

Stuff I still gotta do:
-Figure out a way to pull the hubs off the rotors
-Get new shafts in-get rid of CAD
-plasma off old coil buckets
-move/weld CA mounts, fab up new coil buckets/ shock mounts
-Paint axle
-probably going to recycle old drag link and make the trac bar out of the old tie rod materials
Here's my parts list of stuff I still gotta buy:
-JB Conversions Super short SYE
-EMS Offroad CAD Delete Kit
-Hot Forged, cross-drilled greaseable joint with standard zerk fitting
-One hub-to knuckle bolt(unless I can find the one I'm missing)
-Im goint ot have NW Fab make me a custom tie rod, they make them without weld in bungs out of 1.5 x .250 wall DOM with 7/8 heims
-(Possibly run over the knuckle steering)
- 1310 to 1350 conversopn U joint for front driveshaft- It's all I can affor right now
-Rusty's offroad steering box brace
-Rusty's Trac bar mount(not sure what option I'm goin with)
-brake pads, rotors

My buddy is moving shops still, So I'm trying to get everything ready before he's moved so we only have to weld it one weekend and be done. Axle swap should be finished by late Febuary.

Hope yall are enjoying the build! Ill be posting new pictures soon

Good luck with the build,they build some crazy big mud trucks down in Fl

 

Thanks all of you who understand that its a mud truck haha, and you can turn ANY truck (or car hah) into a mud truck. A cherokee is an awesome starting point.

Today I ordered everything I will need( hopefully) for the swap. It's coming along good, today I am grinding off the old coil buckets and prepping the surfaces for welding. I ordered a JB Conversions SYE, Some coil buckets and steering components(1.5x.250 wall DOM with 7/8 Heims +high misalignment spacers) from Ballistic fab, and an EMS Offroad CAD delete kit with new shafts. I also picked up some new U-joints and rotors and a caliper rebuild kit. Were gonna do the swap around the middle of Febuary, I'll take some pics once the stuff I ordered comes in.

 

Post some pics of the beast !

 

First thing I thought when i saw this was "Autobots! Transform!" HAHA! Looking sweet. Any ideas what's replacing the blocks???
