Looks great I've read the whole thread today. Great build I just set up a thread today on my project it's a 92 Cherokee sport. Any advice? U should take a look at it

 

Hey bud I appreciate it. I just checked yours out, looking good keep at it. I've been thinking about painting mine flat black like you did. Not much advice except just keep playing with it and it'll get there over time. If you got any specific questions just give me a holler on here.

 

We need a oregon trip soon. Once we both get our junk fixed.

 

I agree. I went to Uwharrie today with my dad and rode around in his RZR a bit. It's got me motivated now.

What's wrong with yours?

 

Clayton 3 link and small truss from Barnes4wd showed up today. Plenty of beef and quality there from Clayton. I got the crossmember and links installed tonight and started to mock up my top axle side mount. My only complaint is there aren't any left handed threaded joints so it's going to be even more of a pain in the *** to fine tune caster. It's a little bit tight on the upper frame side mount also. But nothing is perfect...huge upgrade from the iro kit I previously had though.

 

Schweet... Hurry up and get this thing done! I wanna wheel!

 

Got some more progress going. Mocked up and finished welding my upper little truss and upper link mount. Threw in a couple pics of my stick welding beads also.





Got these 5x4.5 to 5x5.5 Spidertrax adapters for the 8.8 in today also. These things are naiiise.

 

Lemme know if the pics don't work. I recently created a photobucket and I'm uploading pics from that now.

 

Looks good man! Pics are working.

 

Sweet, thanks man. It won't be too much longer; if everything goes in right it might be rollable by sunday night but we all know how that usually goes.

 

Can't wait to see pictures.

 

Yup lol

 

I've gotten a ton of stuff done on the jeep since my last update. Finished assembling my axle and hooked the brakes up.

Hooked up my steering. It's a crossover set up out of 1.25" dom and 3/4" hiem joints.

Made my trac bar bracket also. Still need to adjust it a little to get it more paraell with the draglink. The trac bar has 7/8 hiems

Was very happy with my driveshaft angle and the fact that it still actually fit.

 

Pic of my 5x4.5 to 5x5.5 lug adapters on the rear 8.8.


Here's the set of 15x8 5x5.5 wheels I got from my dad for free; he had them lying around since his CJ7 has the same lug pattern. Painted them black. Should have my TSL's mounted on them somtime this week.


And I got the pull the heep out of the garage on the rollers.

 

Found this pic I had also. This is probably why Clayton suggests having atleast 6.5" of lift for their 3 link kit. I'm at ~4.5" and had to do some floor massaging with the mini sledge.

That is on the bend where the driver side floorpan and trans tunnel meets. It doesn't interfere with the pedals though. The link pictured is the upper.
