CYJKrawler and I have been working on the Jeep for around 3 weeks now. Finally finished it up today. Still have a bunch of odds and ends to take care of, but most of the major work is done. I know I haven't kept an ongoing thread like everyone else, but I just never got around to it. Snapped a few pictures along the way to give everyone an idea.
Specs are:
88 Ford HP60--LocRite
75 Dodge FF60--Lincoln Locked
38x12.50 TSL's
15 gal. R.J.S. Fuel Cell
Cage
Thats the bulk of the parts per say, obviously I did alot of little things but...
Anyways I'm sure I'll keep digging up pictures in the next week, but if anyone needs/wants to see anything let me know and I'll snap 'em for ya.

Couple of teaser pics. Took it to URE today for a shakedown run and boy did it work! Shook the traction bar loose first thing (broke the mounting tube actually) and loosened up the rear driveshaft ujoints to where it spit out a cap later. Shook gas out of the fuel cell vent and shook SPOA up when the brakes didn't hold on Kodak :) + side it ran great, the welds held and it flexed like Arnold Schwarznager! "We'll be back"
 
Looks good! did you work with Aaron over at HCRORE?
 
I go to school in Boone, Aaron has just been a big help to me this past year. Did some work for me on the Jeep before this buildup began. Proud to wear his sticker, just need to go pick up the one for the other side :)!
 
Nice work guys! That's a sweet looking jeep. Did the weld break on the TB?
 
Thanks Noah. We had to relocate the tube that was welded on the skid plate and move it out wider due to the fullwidths. Originally it was 1 1/2" but we used 1" when we moved it. IMO it was the lack of shocks that killed it; it was wrapping BAD due to the springs cycling so much. However, John thinks it would have let go eventually. We just took it in stride and realized we had a little flaw in our design. It was fixed yesterday, I'll snap some pics of the new mount.........I don't foresee this one breaking!
