Damn dude i cant even imagine attempting a project like that. Thats badass. Why did you remove the entire rear end of the jeep instead of just chopping it? Wouldnt it be easier that way because then you wouldnt have to completely tear down the driveline and fuel system and all that? Regardless, im excited to see how this all turns out.

Its just easier to get the travel, WB, and departure angle with a full backhalf.
