not this site but on the other site, they think like that is my final shit and it's staying that way, like oh thats going to fold like a taco, shouldn't you rein force that before you run it. like no shit, it's a build thread step by step, you know?

sorry fucking computer and morons are putting me in a pissy mood today. rant off. :beerbang:

what the fuck is with this mark twain shit? he is just being a sissy.

im sorry lover, im just sad because i miss you.
may be part of the reason he is upset too.
 
front forward 2", rear back 6-7" be around 115-116" wheelbase. Tires are about where they will be.
stock wheel base is @101.5", your math is wrong. :teehee:

I should have put money on our conversation... but for general purpose I'll go over it again: my front axle is 2" forward, the rear is 3" back for a wheel base of 106.5". :poke::sonicjay:

Did you confirm that with bigcountry?

Oh, and I can't believe that after 36 pages this thing is still in pieces.

that may be, but the tape measure front to back is 115", weather i did 6-7 in the rear or 2" in front, iDK, i just know it is 115" from were the front and the rear will be.

:finger: this is the third rig damnit, and the third time is the charm, none of that bolt on shit in a weekend on the DD anymore. Go big or go home! :rock:

and be like 15pgs if you take out all the guys hitting on me in this thread too. :teehee:

ok the low down or summery to save you from reading a little, however good entertainment if you do. :sonicjay:

if you read some, I'm sure I have in there some where about the those type of answers you seek, however somethings had not been posted yet as I was just getting the pics up, been to busy to type out to much, so I'll go over it again to save some people from reading, i will be running fully plated frame, with internal cage, as rear air shocks will be integrated to it in the back, and cuts do no matter son, when you are not done, will be running tube along the rear cuts cleaning it up and making a set of tube fenders in a sense, i will be stretching the wheelbase to around 115", as have to when running a 42" tire. be swapping in an AX-15 external drive with a 231/231 doubler set up, this is to make way for the later up date of a SBC swap, be running D60 front 5.13's (locked, how? unsure yet), with a 14 bolt rear shaved and spooled disk brake conversion, running a 3 link set up in front and a 1 link (grader ball/heim) set up in the rear. Full belly skid and rear drive-line skid possible with the 1 link set up. so as of right now that is where i sit and that the basic plan that i ended up at. Time-line-there is none so don't ask, time does not matter when building something to last and right from the start. money/cost- I'd be done if i had some. :thumb:
 
tire size matters, what will you be running? and if you don't reinforce that unibody you WILL run into problems later down the road.
what type of locker will you be running in the front?
and with only one link in the rear, it seems like that would be unsafe and undriveable. how does that work?
have you ever considered droping a small block 350 in it? that would be COOL!!!
any plans to clean up those choppy comp cuts?
what wheel base do you plan on having when it's all done?
when do you plan on being done?

ummm what?
 
so what you doing to this rig?:sonicjay::sonicjay:
 
I dont know a ton about them, but I don't like the idea of having 1 joint keeping the axle, and suspension under the jeep. I've heard its impossible to get good geometry out of them, and It seems their would be alot of torsional load on the joint, and track bar.

But they're cheap, simple, and I do like how well it protects the driveshaft.

honestly though, I have never ran one, nor met anyone who runs one... so everything I just said has 0 weight to it. just my .02

I hope you build a badass one, and prove me wrong :thumb:
