After 9 months it's almost done... It would have been completed much sooner If I wasn't working 60-70 hours a week at work :flipoff2:

Here are some stats:
Ford Dana 60 rear with 35 spline shafts and disk brakes
Chevy CUCV front 60 with 35 spline inner and outers
Chevy 350, SM 465, Dana 300
Dakota springs in the rear, durango springs in the front for 107" wheelbase
38.5 SX's on beadlocks
Just need to get the dash finished and wire it up

I know it needs a cage :flipoff2: that will be done next month on my vacation

I'm not worried too much about the paint.. It's a $50 dollar garage job

Kubota Orange from Tractor Supply (http://www.mytscstore.com) $28 a gallon or so will make it easy for touch ups... (got the idea from "the best of rattle can paint jobs" thread if I remember correctly) :flipoff2:

As far as the headlights are concerned I'm kinda partial to the CJ look.

Newbies... It pays to read first, and use the search function. Most of my questions were answered that way.

Deadly. I like the rear shocks outboard of the frame, just like the new F150 ads!

Freaking awesome! Looks very clean, I just did a YTJ combo front clip, and garage paint job, and doing powertrain swap at the end of summer :)

I think your rig came out really sweet. Have you checked it out without the front fenders by chance? Looks like a sweet rig :)

If you ever go into chit chat, you know the saga of my tube fenders :D .

When I do my cage next month I will make the tube fenders using the inner fender wells. Way too much mud here in Texas not to keep the engine bay uncovered

I saw your post about your TJ grill and hood swap, it cam out looking good. I thought about doing that last year, but there wasn't any info on that swap yet. Maybe If I smack mine up a little too much this summer I'll try that route.

Thanks for the great comments, it's getting me more motivated to finish it this weekend and tear it up. :flipoff2:

It looks like you're running a track bar, is that correct or am I confused?

Got to agree with that I have had to ask a few questions but for the most part the search function has gotten it done for me.

porndog that looks real clean hope mine turns out as good I hope to have mine done at the end of this monthI have been working on mine since october
