punisher theme xj build
 

My first post and build thread, and I've decided to build a 98 jeep xj with a punisher theme, full width axles 6.5" lift 36" swampers, jeeps nearly completed within 1 month of build time and is 90% complete, so I'm a little behind on my thread so I'm gonna start posting soon. for some reason i decided to do the axles and suspension before rebuilding the motor and doing the drivetrain... but it turned out fine just a little tall to pull motor and trans :) and heres a link to my photobucket for a little better res pics http://s101.photobucket.com/user/jeu.../Punisher%20XJ, but ill be adding more as i go, and i have quite a bit more to do with fabbing the bumpers, sliders, exo, all the fun stuff so fell free to critique and add all the knowledge you like and you're opinions.

:worthless:Looking forward to it :rockon:

first things first.. now what was first?
 

Alright clearly i suck at build threads as i forgot to take a ton of pictures and have very little :icon_sad: but i do have a few, now for my axles i found and bought a whole 78 ford bronco with D44 front and ford 9 rear off CL for $400, and made $300 from scrapping it, so got a great deal on some axels to start building, now i found that my d44 was cast wedges instead of welded so i had a decision to make and decided that i would just buy some brackets from http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/ and torch into the wedges and weld on brackets, which worked out pretty good, ordered a new type 2 carrier for the yukon 4.56 gears i ordered, and a mini spool to try out and see how i like it

Dude that's looking awesome!

Thanks man i almost went with a zombie response theme like yours but ive seen a few and really wanted to be different but yours is looking pretty nice, but ive got along ways to go as far as being complete but mine will drive around the yard for now haha not gonna drive it till i completely finish it, heres some pics of the jeep on the lift and tires ,

Dang! That this is pretty sweet! Why did you only go with 4.56 gears?

Thanks man, Well I want to be able to maintain some decent highway speeds without killing the mpgs

got some more things done this week
 

trimmed my fenders and put some rock sliders together and started the door removal for tube doors, im using connector plugs so i can maintain all my electrical components when i put my factory doors back on

You got enough lights up there? lol I like your plug setup for your doors. Does that just push back into the kick panel when the doors are off?

My buddy said same thing about the lights haha and yes theres 3 on the drivers door and 1 on passenger and they seem to work really well for what im wanting

More weekend fun
 

Got a few more things finished this weekend,built some tube doors, built my front stinger winch bumper , added to my rock sliders and started my exo :)

Thanks man i want to make it more extreme Like something the punisher would drive in the movie
