Slow...
Got the old motor in to the JKU, not hooked up or running though.
The crawler is getting ready for tacking in the control arm brackets and shock towers.
Also put a lift and 38's on my dually.
They are about 5.5' tall, with my 9' ceilings I will at least have enough run to get the frame in and out easier. I will only have enough room to sit up under everything when using otherwise.
I need to take some pictures of what was done to the frame.
I decided to chop the back half off and fab my own. I also chopped all if the body mounts off and make those as well.
I got the back of the frame on and now it has been sitting for about a month.
Black Friday and Christmas sales, I...
The over tire rack looks like a really good storage option and its got a "Cool" factor to it.
I would be concerned with adding more weight to the hinges and latch though. The factory setup is hardly adequate to handle the stock spare tire IMO.
I got the engine mounts made. I used 2.5" by 3/16" square tube with a 3/16" plate topper. Had to put a hole on the side to access the engine mount nut. While the frame is under I am going to mock up and tack all of the control arm brackets.
Black Friday sales made me order stuff I was going to...
Got the frame ready for the new bumper, got the bumper ready to weld to the frame. Got the frame back under the Jeep and set the motor and tranny set in proximity of its new home.
