People got a little freaked out last time I did that.
 
You know I'm just messin' with ya about the cold!! I had to change the starter in my TJ last week in about 6 inches of snow & 20 degree weather. :D That was fun!! Had to put my hands inside my overalls a few times to get the feeling back in my fingers. :rolleyes:

I will say though, that I think this is my favortie build thread of all. :bow: Mainly because it's on a 1st-gen & you are taking the time to do a fine job on the whole thing. It looks great!! :wink1: I'll be waiting impatiently on those pictures. :mad::haha: Definitely a tremendous reference thread. Good Job!!

Later,
Buddy
 
How I have missed this thread until now I have no idea. I had to post up and tell you that is looking great. I only wish I had half the time/energy you have to do this. Looks great man.
 
Greg, those would be 44s...in a way they look pretty small with all the new 46, 47s, 49s, and 54s out now :eek1:

How did you get into the 113-114" WB? Mine is around 108.5" and that is stretched and fender hacked to get it there. I have my 56s in backward even so center pin back would be the same as the 63s right?

well i went back and measured my wheelbase again. considering i measured it by myself, it may not be correct, but i'll measure again when i got a buddy around. but i moved the 52s 1.5" forward with the zero rate, the rear 64s i moved another 1.5" with the DIY4X spring perches. the day i measured, i was at 115".

:haha: :haha:

no more pics, they got erased from my camera...




















just kidding. :p: had to go to a rosary last night so i couldn't get the pics up. but i promise i'll get 'em posted up later on this afternoon. also got pics of my new diff covers and add a leafs :D
 
yeah, just curious. I moved my front way ahead with 52s and still using the stock bushing location on the rear. On my rear if I didn't trim the fender my tire is back enough it wouldn't clear. I would love to get more WB but I don't think it really feasable without maving the rear wheel well back

then again, there's still not much weight on the front end, so once weight gets on it, i think the shackle will move back and get me a better WB #. i'll keep you posted tho. & you'll see from the pics how much i would need to trim, maybe you could compare it to yours. :confused:
