well I was going to ask where you were from but that was answered haha.

Looks HUGE! haha not bad though.

What gears do those axle come with for 43" tires? Did you add or are you planning on running any frame stiffeners?

Axle geaing is 7.56-1

Axle geaing is 7.56-1 And I made my own stiffeners, if it's metal I can make it with enough time, so I have. As for the huge thing, yes its big, but I ran the cookie cutter setup (6" lift, longarm, stock axles) like everyone else for over 4 years, it was time to move on, this build phase took 4 months

Love me some mogs and I'm stealing your idea for the winch mount cause mine unloads on hill climbs too.

have you thought about an Exo-Cage? some people are body freaks and some aren't... Being how "clean" your body still is. i was just curious if the thought had crossed your noggin

Sfaalumni08

By all means use the idea, I had a problem and came up with a solution, total I'm in the suck down setup 70$ and the switch on the wiper arm is simply awesome when wheeling, no searching for it, it's right there quick when things get hairy, which as you know happen quickly sometimes. It is a 2000 lb badlands too, not a 3k

Negative on the clean body, I will incorporate an exo eventually but as it sits all 4 doors, the hatch, both rockers (since removed) both b,c, & d pillars, the roof, hood, header panel, fenders, rear quarters and floorboards are all bent scratched or broken to different extents, I do want to keep a roof though so an exterior halo will be built and tied into inner cage at least.

I'm needing to upgrade my master cylinder very badly, takes one full pump to make the pads even touch the drums. So my problem is my brakes consist of four massive drums, all my research leads me to a 78 one ton mc because it will swap almost directly In and push the volume needed, all new wheel cylinders are shipping from Germany so once I get them I'll get serious about it. Enough talking about it, what master cylinder upgrades can y'all point me towards that may work?

Took the hog out to barnwell mountain last weekend, drove it hard, ran everything but dewoody, also ran into a fellow forum member, didn't get a name but had a clean black xj on mtr's, nice jeep man you should have ran with us, ended up flopping mine. Here's the pics

Been about 3.5 years, time for an update I suppose. Changes since the original build have been many, 231/300 doubler and triple shifters installed, rear steer, 63" chevy leafs, and a 12" stretch added, cut the front off and tubed/dove nosed it, front stretched 12", 2.5"x16" air shocks up front, body smashed a lot more, have wheeled the crap out of it and have only had one rear axle shaft break over all. Anyways here's some recent pics
