Whoo Hooo Jimmy Crawler project almost done

[82dieselburb]

Well it's only about 8 months behind schedule but my jimmy is just about done.I've posted a few pics of the build a while back.

One year ago it looked like this

This was my first truck that I have built and it has been a learning experince.
I got alot of ideas and tech from reading post on this board.
After many many hours and lots of $$$$ its just about ready for the trails.

Anti wrapbar

I still need to: Finish running brake lines
Mount up hydro assist ram and HD tierod
Make exocage on the front
Relocate dual batterys to bed so I can mount air filter for
turbo on the firewall
Install lights on the front
Work all of the bugs out of it and a bunch of small stuff
That I can't remember right now.

Yea I used a BTF bridge on the axle.The whole anti wrap including the bridge only cost about $400.I kind or based it off the MOO one with the orbital bushing.
Thanks for all the complements.I can't wait to get on the trails.

As we used to say about a well built ride back in the 70's "that's sano" (i.e. sanotized).

 

[Esteban86K5]

What is the wheelbase of that thing? And how far did you move your axles? Looks really nice. I like it.

 

[82dieselburb]

The wheel base is 116" I moved the rear back 7" Thats as far as I could with the 63" springs.The front is moved forward about 3" with 52's.
