It's fine, quit yer wining.:flipoff:

I already said that, geez :flipoff:

It was a concern of mine at first, but unless I was to run a tube rear cross member its hard to avoid. Both of Sams rigs and Nuzzys CJ are setup similar and dont have too much of a problem. If its an issue it can always be redone. Build and learn.

You won't get enough droop out of XJ springs to make it an issue anyway.

The big brown santa brought me my wheels on friday...17" allied beadlocks. I was surprised how easily they went together, just a pain in the ass tightening all the bolts multiple times.

If I would have listened to Brad I would have just cut the tub off behind the seats but I like the look of comp cut YJs so I decided I would keep the ass end of the tub. To keep it from getting totally ****ed I got some corners from PSC...

Then I got some time to work on the rear end. New bearings and seals on the FF hubs and Sam hooked me up with the 3/4 ton chevy rotors and calipers I used to convert the rear to disks. I'm finding out this rear end is older than I first thought as the inner bearing and wheel studs I bought were wrong.

To get rid of the stupid stock Ford spindle nuts I changed it over to the style used on chevy front axles.

I'm jealous. :fawkdancesmiley:

[TheMasterbater]

I'm diggin the rear comp cut. That looks pretty damn nice :awesomework:

 

[KarlVP]

Fawkin - a - right.

I can't wait to take your ass to school again.

I would have dovetailed the rear...adding weight to save sheetmetal is counterproductive, but it it still looks

I love the way the weld on caliper mounts line right up with the existing flange/surface on the FF stuff, makes setup easy :redneck:

 

[War-Jeeper]

i like that comp cut looks really awesome!


You didnt have any problems with the calipers and disc's because it ended up being a diffrent year did ya?

 

[Six-Nine]

Nice to see more progress! I love my allied beadlocks too, by far the easiest beadlock I have put together.:awesomework:

I thought about he dovetail for awhile but the way my cage runs into the tub it was gonne be a PITA. Oh well in the big picture its a small amount of weight that was added.

Nope. What year did it end up being? Didnt I tell ya 77? They were all the same for alot of years
