Congrats on the baby! and as usual awseom work!

 

So, I took advantage of my day off, and hammered out the shock hoop:

Thanks to Timmay at Liquid Iron Industries for the speedy service on the custom flanges!

 

looks good

 

hell yeah it does

 

Is the removable section for a V8 engine swap cause that's pretty wide

or just in-case of a need to get to the engine?

 

Just in case.... I doubt this will ever get a V8, even though I would toss a small block in there in a heartbeat...

Best Small block they have ever made IMO .... it can be bored and stroked out to a 502 ... yes a 502 small block you know you want it

 

looks awsome!

 

looking good man.

 

hows it going any updates love to see what it looks like now

 

And I am back in the garage.

I jacked the whole jeep up about 8 inches, to see if anything would bind on droop.



Seems ok.

So I pulled the rear axle out, and welded the spring perches on.

I have to clean the whole rear this week, replace the pinion seal, run the brake lines, and secure the soft lines in place.

Then a quick coat of paint, and she should be good to go!

 

veryyyy nice nice work a build i`lll follow

 

Looking sexay as usual!

 

WOW! Im speechless... The most unique build of an XJ Ive ever seen. Its not an overkill build like alot of people do. Its just a really good balance of everything it needs to do and handle the way you want it to. Extremely nice work. Cant wait to see it finished and in action.

 

This is truly inspirational for ultra-newbies like myself. I read this thread from start to finish and you are doing mind-blowing work!
