sweet ride...

I like the 2x2 for a perch, I gotta make some for my front axle thinkin of deep C channel cut out to shape of diff. Can't find D30 perches anywhere. anyone using somethin' for this?

looks good!

very similar to the mods in progress on my own Cj5,

whats your front axle, and rear?
are they cut down?

what springs?

did you buy or fab the steering?

Ive got a combo of wag springs and cj rears, to use at all 4 corners, wag front 44, wag rear m20, and all SOA, with 35" tires being the goal for now.

dana 60 rear ff discs 4.56's and welded. front waggy 44 housing w/chevy 8 lug outters. both un-cut. rancho 1.5" front springs. rear 7 leaf packs from cj7 w/hardtop. bought the steering from parts mike. he uses the beefy gm tie rod ends. I plan on cutting the hell out of the fenders to get the 38's to clear. after flexing w/high lift looks like i need 3-4"s more preliminary clearance.

Nice, VERY nice!!!

Nice looking rig man, what size tires u running there?

38x15 r15 gumbo monster mudders!!! :rolleyes: I swear they look smaller and smaller every day! Installed new headers today. forgot that engines are suppose to run smooth and not spit and sputter out the exhaust all the time. Waiting on the t18 to ship to me. drag link and brake lines come tomorrow. hope to be done soon. Can't wait to wheel the damn thing!!! thanks for the praise.

Rockjeep where do you live in Ga.? I live in Newnan.

Nice jeep..

I am in the process of doing the same thing to my five..

The spring perches are like 16 bucks for two at 4 wheel parts, There Warrior products.. I considered making mine vers buying and for the price and time buying was much better..


My high steer stuff is going on soon...

Heres a picture of my not so finished jeep..

yeah i like the way you did your front bumper w/the tube insert. I'd like to eventually do that on mine so i'll have a flat spot to mount a winch either that or i'll sink the winch between the rails.

Yea I thought about this as well.. but there is to much involved in sinking a winch inbetween the frame rails.. My steering is right there for one..

So I will mount it above.. I havent decided if I am going to leave it like it is or go a shorty bumper

Hey, she's lookin killer. On the high steer arms, I've heard over and over...Parts Mike. How do you hook up with this guy and does he have a web site? Thanks, and hope to see you out gettin' it in the 5. Later.:beer: :beer:

Hey your heep is lookin' good! I like the ingenuity in using the 2x2 for the perch.....they are hard to come by here...so using the 2x2 is always an option, which I never would have thought of!

Question...with the D60 your tires are extremely offset. The amount of offset you have on your heep would never fly up here in Canada unless it was strictly a trail rig. Any plans to add some flares (or crazy carpet :D ) ?

www.garlic.com/~junmike for his personal sales page. 4.25"s of backspacing on the wheels. no need to worry here in Georgia. but if cops ever give me trouble i might fab some removable fender flares

Dude you have t be running a V8 300 hp to get that monster rolling.......What you got under the hood???

just a little old 304 bored .060 over headers, intake, carb. motor runs great at low rpms. maybe one day i'll get my dream motor which is a amc 360 w/401 crank, thus stroking it. then boring it .045 over and running sbc 400 pistons for a 9.5:1 compression. Check out www.froadin.com for more info on it.
