Ok guys, I was going to wait for little bit before I start to post it up, but a buddy convinced me to do so.. My project was starting as a 98 TJ from my previous builds have ended my JP to 6in long arm and ARBs front and rear with 4.88 gears and an NV4500 trans. Now its onto one tons and arounf 40s depending on what tire I buy.

Build Specs:
Poly mounts, front 3 link and rear 4 link
79 fornt HP 60, 5.38, 35 spline inner and outters
GM 14 bolt 5.38 gears
2.5" x 14" SAW air shocks
fuel cell

Ill take some more pics after this weekend when i get the frame all cleared off and so on.

Ben

Yes the 4'x8' 1/4" sheet was all stuff for the frame.. And a few things for the roll cage and what not..

I wont lie this thing is going to be a little heavy.. But on a rig that already weighed 5500 lbs.. I really don't care.

Here is what I got done yesterday.. Started the frame rails which are welded up..


Now to make some cross members, then bring in the tube to start boatsiding.

yea holy shit benny...
Nobody can leave anything alone. Spend months and months getting it how you want, wheeling it for about a dozen trips and then rip it apart again. :poke: But, that's why we each have our own Jeeps so we can do whatever we want to it. :rock:

Awww c'mon Benny, you go through all that trouble to make a nice new frame and you don't even make the seam on the tubing point inward? Details, man, details! Looks great though
