Holy shit, that would be a game changer for a TJ! Looking forward to seeing this (y)
Its the benefit of watching and help build a few Tjs in front of mine. They are all great jeeps that are very capable, but as there's were done i noticed minor changes i could make to mine.
 
I feel your pain on waiting for shipping, it’s always one part lost in the network or put on a wrong truck away from being done. Almost as bad as snapping a bolt at the end of a project.

Yesterday the front axel was set in place. Upper and lower CA mounts are tacked in place. Today we make the control arms. I believe its 2 inch .250 wall tube that we use. Bang thise out, take some measurements to order new front drive shaft and send the rear back to be refitted with a new yolk.

Ill have to get some side shots of the rear tomorrow to show you. I had to clearance the dif cover. Shes pretty snug back there also. The aluminum gas tank from Full Traction gave me some room but its my limiting factor in the rear.
Yep going full hydro steering. Not ar from ordering PSC hydro ram.
Should have front control arms, towers and shocks in tomorrow.
So much to do!!!

Didn't getbot of visual progress made today. Figuring out where the CA mounts go and clearing drive shaft was no easy task to accomplish tho. We did get that done. Also dabbed a couple companies brackets together to make my link arm mounts to the body. Forgot pics of those
Made more grinding progress...damn that sucks.
I did remember some shots of my rear!
