and the cage doesnt look that bad; i would not suspect a double fatality after seeing that vehicle. however, if they weren't buckled in.....

we were trying to figure it out; after piecing things together on Google Street View with a pic from the KSL article, it looks like they simply got too close to the edge and dropped a tire.

if youre not going to drive it, can i? ;)

such a cheater rig; i love it

put them on a skinnier wheel?

Well the rear end is tacked in, and is unofficially sitting on its on weight. Both sets of axle side brackets were located on the axle just kinda where they fell. I’m going to run the numbers on the 4 link calculator to see how it looks before burning them in for good, but I don’t see any major...

i feel like @Greg would probably be the best source lol

Got the joints and arms yesterday. Went with all Teraflex parts; IR bushings, TJ clevite housings with a machined conversion sleeve, and TJ arms. This will be the same set up for front lowers, rear lowers, and rear uppers; less spares to carry. Still have to figure out the front uppers. more...

the prep work sucks; im still blowing black snot out of my nose from cutting through that cast

currently 2nd to none. i picked up an entire truck for $600, pulled the axles, and between parting out the rest of the truck and then crushing it, I made my money back, and came out with cash in my pocket; hard to argue with that. Plus, you can upgrade to the F450 complete 35 spline shafts with...

this is almost exactly what im doing with my ZJ build. building a solid vehicle on the cheap-ish

Did some “weight savings” last night; I was told there were some horses trapped in there.

Other than blowing through the unibody a couple times, and having red hot slag land on the inside of my elbow, this didn’t go as terribly as I was expecting. Gotta drop the skid tomorrow and finish welding the inside of the stiffeners, then hopefully get the rear control arm brackets welded in.

what bolt pattern are you running anyway?

17s are sweet if youre running a bigger tire; with less sidewall, bumping from a 15 to a 17 gives up alot. Id say either find some 15" beadlocks, or do some weld on DIY rings on the wheels you have.

Now that I have axles physically under it and it looks like a Jeep, it has definitely given me some motivation. And now that I have most of the parts to move forward, I can start crossing things off my ‘to-do’ list.

Hard to stay motivated with this thing, but here’s an update. Axles are finished up for now. Got the Artec trusses welded up, and pushed them under the Jeep for final mock-up. Front half of the Clayton crossmember is also in for mock-up. Next step is to finalize the front upper frame side...
