Nice build. Just my opinion but if you are going to only lock one axle, I prefer the front. Especially if you plan to do a fair amount of highway driving and have lockouts in the front.

I'd like to do selectable in the rear, and whatever I end up with in the front... not spool or welded. Might leave front open to start and upgrade as necessary

Having a locker in the front is the best upgrade I have ever done. The amount of pulling traction while being able to steer is awesome.

I have ran with just the front locked and just the rear locked. I felt more confident in the jeep with just the front locked.
however having both axles locked is much nicer.

Dude, not challenger your vocabulary, but do you mean 'Colonel'?

Old Jeeps are cool. Sounds like a neat plan. Definitely something you wouldn't see a lot of.

Play on words. E85, think about it

I am not so clever. :sonicjay:

Cool engine choice.

Cool build, I always wondered about those quad steer trucks myself. Probably takes some getting used to I would think.

You catch on quick. I'd gotten the ass end pretty close to scrapping pulling away from drive through and some tight parking.

Better turning radius than a 4 door jk I think

1. Subscribed...great project.
2. You're close enough that I'll probably have to check this out in-person at some point.
3. This = FUNNY! :sonicjay:

Let the part out commence. Refined. Can't call you Creepy because he's not parting his TJ out.

Make an offer to give me an excuse to tear it down

who would have thought 1/2 ton axles 60" wide would be hard to come by.

Glad I'm just keeping my eyes peeled

good call. 15" rim should still fit just fine over those too?

I didn't think too much about 6 lug.

Good to know. Load range c seems like the only one that makes sense. And you're pretty much down to a 35x12.5x15 too get that
