Yes I will be drilling and tapping myself. There are some good write ups on pirate about it already. But when the time comes, I will try and do a good job of detailing it.

 

Looks like it technically has a low center of gravity. Comin along real nice. Cool pics too.

 

Thanks! Yeah Id call it low. It is really about 4" of measured lift on 37" tire. I love it. Super stable and will go anywhere I point it. Just have to drag it over some stuff

 

I have to get some pics, but I got my tranny cooler mounted and plumbed this morning.
Then I decided to box in the lower control arm mounts. I had ripped one off and now Im wary of them. So I plated it solid and welded the plate to the axle housing for the most strength.
When I was done I noticed this



So I just got done putting in my spare. Time to find some more...

 

You never felt the axle play or make noise?

 

Nope. Nothing. Never heard it pop. I wheeled this weekend, and have probably driven 20 miles since.

 

Time for chromo axles? Lol

 

Time for my one tons

Ive been putting off the expense and hope to wheel this the rest of the year as is but we will see. Im gonna get a few more spare shafts and see how it goes.

 

Same idea here, wheel the hell out of the 30/44 for a year then upgrade

 

Heres where I ended up mounting the cooler. Its attached to the header panel behind the grille. I didnt want it up against the condensor. So there is a nice air gap behind it, which should help keep it cooler, and whats behind it cooler





Then this morning I decided to make a small truss for the front axle. Ive debated it for a while, so I just decided to do it.
Here it is in mock up.





Hard to tell but its butted up against the pass side control arm mount



Heres the front being stitched in


The welds loook better in the back because I had to snake around the steering and track bar but its burned in good.
I think its 2"x2" square tube, 3/16" wall. I cut one side off to go over the axle. Fits pretty well. Cant hurt to be on there. It will also support the upper mount.

 

Well I wheeled the hell out of this thing today. I did many spots that I have been denied in the past, and even hit some new stuff I would have never tried. The jeep worked flawlessly and Im really impressed with it today.
Only one problem, that I knew was coming as they have been getting worse, but the pass side spring really bit the dust today. It bent bad, and in the pic, its sitting on the bumpstop

 

couple videos from today. They do these spots no justice

 

Came down hard on yer bumper there! Cool vid.

 

The 37's are serous! haha

I see you hanging out of your window alot. Ever think of making the doors removable? Or even doing half doors?

 

Im gonna do some half doors. I have one door already, just need another one. I do like it enclosed, but obviously, I like to look and see what Im doing lol.
That was a soft bumper landing lol. not even a scratch, and it has some dents from coming down on it.
