"Gonna do it right...maybe!!??" Fuller's new XJ build!!!

Well I finally have made some progress. I got rear shackle boxes made and improved shackle angle and pinion angle,,could be better but big improvement.
Front axle finally installed..I admit took me couple tries to get it centered with mounts lol and several attempts to get right amount of lift. (Started with bout 12"lift LOL) now it sits within 1/2" of being level so I'm pretty happy and plenty of room for bigger tires once I get a 60 if needed. Well this is it so far, next is steering and crossmember for trans/tcase

I know it's been a while but you had asked about my XJ being on 4 inch springs and 37's so here it is. 4 inch coils and leafs, no blocks or spacers cut the front fenders and cut and folded the rears. 37x12x16.5 MTR's on trailready beadlocks. 4 inch back spacing.
 
Well made a little progress...has tank done for now and redid my steering...I like current drag link much better and it clears plenty...so far turns very responsive (bad pump considering)...
I played the rear area where roll cage will tie into and mounted some c channel to it then the braces with 2 pieces on sides for extra help..its solid. Wiggle the tank and entire jeep wobbles. Eventually will cover with 1/8plate when I can but at least for now, it's secure

You gonna put some rubber between the edges of the angle iron and that plastic tank or just let it ride?
Not that the edge of a piece of steel has the ability to slice through plastic or anything.

Too late now as everything appears to be welded without a latch to remove the tank if necessary. Only way to remove it would be with a grinder.
 
Also what's the wood doing under the tank? Is it acting as a support for the bottom? Is it secured in any way?
 
hey,atleast it isn't a plastic marine tank in a john boat going across the inlet to get out to the ocean. You tell me that bouncing bastard is kosher.
I believe he will be fine for a while. His issue will be when a hole wears into it,he will have to cut the steel to get it out. Then there will be a danger of a flash. I say rock on and nuns and buses full of kids be damned!
 
at some point this just isnt fun anymore.
I mean in kindergarten it was fun to pick on the kid that ate glue.
Then by like 3rd grade there were only three kids left who ate glue
there was little Eric the kid with Downs who was so loveable and sweet and innocent and you still love him today and would kill anyone who picked on him
there was little @Dylan W. who was a hoot and ate glue for kicks ..and yeah he never grew any taller but dammit he was funny and cool and you liked him
Then there was little johnny. You called Johnny a retard but not in the the loving way, in the stop being a fucking idiot and shoving pencils up your nose way. Little johnny ate glue and argued with you that he didnt and it was really a sweet tart and you were a big dummy because you werent cool enough to eat sweet tarts. After about three minutes you realized little johnny was a dumbass. I present little Johnny.

When Darwin finally, graciously, removes you from the gene pool I pray that our Heavenly Father has mercy and doesnt let anyone near by be drug with you....

Carry on.
