Sadly at some point I will probably forget!

 

Right on thats not too bad.

 

this build is soo much win

i cant wait to see how it comes out

 

great, i chopped mine, ill post pics later... i hated it when i choped it. but it seems to be growing on me now

 

The transmission pan needed some kind of protection so I built a skid off of the crossmember to accomplish this. Now I know this will not hold the weight of the entire vehicle but that was never my intention anyway. Its just there to protect it from bashing the pan on a rock.

 

The fab work is done on the long arms and crossmember. I pulled it all apart and painted it.

 

Hope it grows a bunch on ya cause there is no turning back now!

 

def just sat and read every page on this lol...nice build man. You honestly just made me want to buy some 1/4 DOM and fab radius arms myself...where did you get the specs for the geometry?

 

That track bar bracket....you might want to grind off those welds and re-do them. Or at leas look them over carefully. Maybe yours will be fine, maybe it will do like mine did.

I studied a lot of pictures to see how other people built their arms and where they placed them. I also crawled up under a coworkers TJ and took measurements from his lift. Armed with that basic knowledge I started cutting tube. I am hoping to install everything in the next day or to so I will post if I run into any issues.

 

I checked the welds on mine, they seem to look pretty good. Maybe you just got a bad one.

 

how did you go about chopping your jeep up? i'm not afraid to tear **** up but I feel like the room for error in this situation is great.

 

Looks great as usual Gram. Keep up the good work.

 

The long arms and cross member are finally finished and painted.

 

I finished the install of the lift today. I only problem I have encountered so far is the front drive shaft is rubbing the exhaust. Adjusting the track bar should solve this problem. I think I need bigger tires now though
