DUDE you have to post pics of the whole process, im subscribed will be watching this one.

 

Man this is ALOT of work but it will definately be worth it in the end! Subscribed!!!

 

Well this is still going just been slow.

I still have been collecting parts. Should be getting finished with in 2 months.

I just picked up a D300 that will be going in this. Can you say "Twin Stick"?

The head goes to the machine shop in 2 weeks and so does the block. No stroker here just a good .060 over bore and a high torq cam..

 

Well this is where "Tiny" sits right now. With a bit of luck this weekend she'll be sitting on all 4 tires..

 

will be for sure keeping an eye on this build...... jealousy is an ugly thing, love those 2 doors

 

Dude, your a mad man. This is a HUGE project. can wait to follow your posts. keep up the good work

 

Wow, great job on the floor repairs! That's one extensive project, but it looks like it'll be a ton of fun, blood, frustration, sweat, and joy - everything a Jeep project should be. I'll be following it!

 

ok so i see 4 xj's in this picture.....quite a few donors for one rig

great build tho and i hope you throw that waggy grill and all 4 headlights on tiny

 

Only 3 in that pic are mine..

So far this build has taken up 3 XJ donors..

1 -Electrical, dash, trans, t-case
2- Motor
3- Axles and lift

Should start installing the front axle here in the next few hours. Already have the mini-spool in the rear and I got the axle shafts back from the machine shop with new seals and bearing installed.

With a little luck it should be drivable by next weekend..



And yes it will have the waggy grill and getting a few 1-offs this spring..

 

Well it's sitting on it's own 2 axles..

The Black fender is mock up only. I have the green fenders and hood that will be going back on it..

 

I got all the front brakes and master cylinder plumbed.

Fuel lines and brake lines ran to the back.

I found that the upper rear shock mounts won't work. 2 with broken bolts and the other 2 holes missing the nuts.

So I started building one of these tonight.

 

Had to change shock mount plans do to time and weather..

Here's what I did to replace the upper rear shock mounts..

 

oh those bolts suck... i had 1 break off on each side when i replaced my axle bc it locked up on me goin down the road... but i just went ahead drilled out the holes went to the local Ace hardware and bought 4 bolts and a tap. and i put some of Rustys bar pin eliminators on it. after all said and done (and after the headache was gone) it looked beautiful!!! but your build looks really good and i'm jealous of that 2 door keep it up man

 

The motor is in it......

Not hooked up but in it....

 

It Runs and is starting to really look like a Jeep again. And yes that is a Waggy front end on a 2 door....
