This is what it looked like before. It will look the same when done.

TJ overhaul
This is my Jeep as of today. I have 6 weeks before I am heading to Tennessee. I'm cleaning up the frame. Replacing the LT1 with an LS. Replacing the NV4500 with a 6L80. Putting in a wider front axle. Changing the steering setup. Changing the front suspension.
Wish me luck!

I changed my steering assist cylinder location. This will allow me another 3" of compression before it collides with the track bar. Also the bracket used to be detachable; I went ahead and welded it to the cover. It will be the same PITA either way.

You paid premo dollars for that tub! Can I get some insight on what you do for a living so I can start doing it too! 
Cool build! I am getting closer and closer to a mid life crisis which involves a LJ.

It's not so much what I do, it's of where I'm at in life. I'm old and back to that dual income no kids, no payments part of life. Yes I've gone stupid on this build, but it's probably my last build in this life so I'm all in.You paid premo dollars for that tub!

Looking for something more comfortable, quieter, cleaner.
