8.1 Vortec YJ

[1995zj]

Ah life....well I'm loving the build man. Can't wait to wheel with you.

 

[markegbert]

got the front fenders done.

 

[_Auzzy_]

nice!

 

[markegbert]

started on the cage, what do you think?

 

[markegbert]

also put a few tubes from the fender to the frame.

 

[Matt]

Looking good!

 

[markegbert]

got a bunch done this last week, cage is done! All three seats are bolted to the cage, and the cage is tied to the frame in eight places. Now to put some longer shackles in the front and make the exhaust and front drive shaft. I have run out of money and still need to do a bunch of stuff, does anyone know how to make a cheap dash that can use all the stock gauges? Something flat is what i am thinking.

[markegbert]
