I was one of the guys that met you and.....Thor, was it? i was in the dark blue xj. I scanned for you on 15 as we headed back to call it a day. Didnt seeya so figured nothin stupid happend.

Vid from that day from our group.


Theres plenty of vids on my youtube page if you want to "internet scout" some trails.

so i have been enjoying the jeep for some time now. The last trip out to sicily island i noticed the rear shackles were starting to bend and the shackle mounts were also bending the rear floor area so i decided it was time for the rear 4link to begin!
the first 2 pics r from sicily island



some flex pics before starting the 4link

 

pics of the tear down, i also removed the gas tank and will be installing a fuel cell in the cargo area along with a mini cage in the cargo area to mount the coilovers to

here is the crossmember we made for the lowers



the truss looks killer it is from artec, i know the tubes are known for bending on the d60 rears so i figured this would help keep every thing in place

 

I thought that thing looked familiar! That's my old jeep lol

 

yep i got it from the guy that did the work on it for you, think his name was corry super nice guy. the jeep was Tons of fun but just wanted more out of it. Yesterday i picked up an aluminum block ls1 for her probably will start that install next summer i just want to finish the 4link and get it back on the trails i hate down time!

 

layin down some machine welds lol

 

with the links tacked in

 

i made an order from balistic fab for all of the link tabs, brackets and joints. The joints are the forged balistic rod ends 1.25 shank 3/4 bore these things are BEEF!

another shot of the cross member once it was notched for the drive shaft

 

cut out the rear quarters since i stretched it another 3"in the rear for a total of 6" stretch in the rear and almost 3 in the front for a total wheel base of 112". Tomorrow i will do the drivers side and also cut out the inner fenders, also need to grind the top side of the opening even since is was on a slant when i got it, kinda hard to see in the pics. I will update with more pics tom night

 

Yeah he did a lot of the fab work for me. Coming along nicely man. Glad you're enjoying it!

 

this has always been one of my favorite full bodied rigs on 40's

the 4 link looks pretty damn sweet. when's it getting a cage

 

Very nice jeep man! Wish u would work on my jeep lolz.. but nice work.. Keep it up!

 

Looking good man. I'm still wanting to see that bad boy perform in person! Rockfest in Auburn, AL is coming up so let me know if you can make it over.
