Some of you know and some of you don't, but I made 2 life choices in the very recent past. First and foremost, I decided that 36 years of working at Utah Valley University was enough and I will be retiring at the end of December, 2022. Second, I also talked Greg out of the "Just Another Boring TJ Build" project and picked it up from him last weekend. I'm super stoked for both changes.
I have wanted to build this concept (bobbed tub, small bed on the back) for more than 10 years, and was extremely jealous when Greg started it, and glad now that some of the preliminary work is done. Building the TJ (still working on a name) won't officially start until after I sell my JK, and I need it until the end of Winter 4x4 on January 21, 2023. I'll be taking a similar direction that Greg had planned, LS, 4L60e, Atlas, front full width Ford King Pin 60, Detroit, 4.88s or 5.13s, rear shaved 14 bolt, selectable locker, 14" ORIs on all 4 corners, full hydro steering,yadda yadda yadda.... I'll get it off the trailer in the next week or so, and then it will sit until next month, when the fun starts.

There are other benefits too, like easy access to 1550 U-jointed shafts and less hub stickout. (on '05+ stuff)
