Tacked up some of the new brackets from ballistic fab on the front d44.

After a little break got back to the jeep. Finished the brackets and mocked it up underneath the heep, took all the measurements and installed lift and the track bar.

With the front all tacked in I got started on the back. It took some heat to loosen up the spring bolts.

After about an hour of grinding I got the rear 44 to look like this

looking real good. those beadlocks are looking sexy.

those are the axles I was thinking about going with if I went to 35's but i stuck with 33's. Now I want to go 35's...haha

 

The rear axle was nothing compared to the front, so with both axles under the jeep I just had to see what it would look like with the tires installed.

Well had to make truss on the front axle because the axle vent hole is right where the driver side upper control arm has to be welded. Go figure

Well pulled the axles for final welding. Measured everything twice, my buddy brought over his muscle mig welder and we went to town on those axles. Just hope all the angles are correct heh.

your build is so bad***. one of my favorites on the forum!

 

Bought the rebuild kit for the gearbox and jumped right in. While it was all torn down I drilled & taped it for hydro assist. The rebuild wasn't as bad as I thought went pretty smoothly. But that might change after reinstall and I'll really find out if it was done correctly.

It's been awhile since I had an update but trying to ramp up the build to get this rig wheeling In November.
Installed the gearbox, started on the front bumber.

 

ok here we go got kind of behind on updating the build. it was non stop trying to get this pig trail ready.
heres the rockers, quick and easy just cut the old and put in the new. i used 3/16th rectangular stock.

 

after the sliders i moved on to the comp cut and opening up the rear wheel wells.

 

towed the pig to a good friend of mine to get the gears and lockers done, i went with nittro 4.88 gears and e-lockers front and rear.




the supercrap hubs that where on the axle had two stripped screws on each side so had todo a little road trip to pick up some new warn's
