We are in the process of the buildup right now, our goal is to finish it by the end of the month. This is going to be his trail rig First of all here are the specs:

Full Float 35 spline D60 rear, 5.13's, detroit. Alloy usa rear shafts

60 front, 35 outers, spicer joints, ARB, 5.13's

Vortech 350, Full manual valve body T350, Atlas 4.3

Psc Hydro Assist, Genright tank, 39.5 Irok radials walker 17" polished wheels, Prp seats.

4 link Rear Bilstein with 14" coilovers, 2" 7075 Solid Aluminum links, johnny joints Waggy 44044's up front, with bilstein shocks

ok here are the pics:

We had to bore the spindles in the rear 60 to fit the 35 spline shafts

We had to notch out the frame for the coilovers to clear.. it also has a CJ hood and grill

That last pic with the frame notched to clear the shackle is fricken cool.:smokin:

looks good very similar to what i'll be building next month

looking good. i like the way you did the shackle reversal up front with the notch.

Very nice work guys!
Scott

very nice! i was wondering where that hood is from to you offer it for sale or is it fabbed up from fenders and a hood?

Looks like what campbell enterprises offers for a hood/fender setup.. fiberglass, all one piece.

X2, but just curious why you decided to use Irok Radials instead of Bias?

The customer wanted the Radials for street duty, its going to be his DD

like the rear truss. very nice

I like the reat truss as well. Front Shackle set up is off the hook. Great looking CJ.

Makes me want to link the flatty.

The lsprings up front because of street duty? Just wondering.

Is the front shackle revrsal going to clink clink against the frame? Looks very cool though.

Can you posts some more pic's of the rear cage and the coilover mounting. This is the same set up i have been working on for a year now. I dig the front shackle mount. Also is he going to put a back seat in or not?

DD huh, I wish my DD was half as cool as this.:D

i agree, rear truss is nice. what size tubing, and what wall thickness did you use for it?



i'd also like to know more about this upper mount. did you drill a large hole in the frame and just run a sleeve through and weld it. any more pics?

the notched frame is awesome, never saw that before with a shackle :)

No thats just how all his previous rigs were so he wanted it similair

Well the rear truss is built from 1 3/4 .120 wall DOM, and 1/4 plate.

ya we just dilled a hole in the frame and sleeved it... i will get more pics

there is not going to be a backseat, just an area for a cooler, camping gear ect... i will get some more pics up first thing in the mornig..forgot the camera a home today:D

nice shackle reversal notching. :smokin:

ok here are some pics:

thanks for the pic's that is going to be a nice rig!

The shackles will be backed with UHMW

well here are 2 more pictures. We got the rear all geared and locked, 35 spline chromo shafts. Just need to make the disc brake brackets on our Cnc Plasma. The Genright rear corners all put on, its gettign close:smokin:

How wide are the axles?

the axles are 67" rear WMS, and 69" WMS front. Walker wheels with 3.75" backspacing and 39.5 Iroks. Front width is Roughly 83 3/4", and rear is roughly 81 3/4" outside of tire to outside of tire

Alright some more updated pics: Started building some fenders.

sweet build! love the fenders

Awesome looking build. What size tubing are you using on the roll cage?

do you always run your Iroks backwards :flipoff2:

Haha heck ya we do:flipoff2: i dont think the guy that put them together was paying attention

Thanks. Will be following your progress. Keep up the great work too.

Nice build..........

I'm betting I'd use (read: waste) 30 feet of tube to make that front hood/
grille loop...... although it's only 4 bends, having all of them end up correctly,
and the right angles, etc must take some time......

Every peice of tube I've built (for my personal projects) I've kept a logbook
for calculating degree past bend, final angle, all that stuff......

I might just rather buy a front hood hoop from you guys instead of wasting
(using :) 30 feet of tube when I'm ready.....

I gotta ask, how much?

well here are 2 more pictures. We got the rear all geared and locked, 35 spline chromo shafts. Just need to make the disc brake brackets on our Cnc Plasma. The Genright rear corners all put on, its gettign close:smokin:

i was woundering how you got alloy usa full floaters, i was told they didnt make them. then i saw the yukon sticker on the flange. thats what i went with but still havent used it yet, still waiting for the SAWs to show up. what kinda luck have yall had with those shafts?

I took a look at this when I was in yesterday, it's coming along awsome. I am guessing you didn't let Geerb know you were taking a picture?

Well here are a few more updated pictures: Starting building the rear tire carrier/bumper. Jesse is Mounting the seats, and is building the dash...

How thick are the Gen Right corners? Their website seems to say they are available in 1/8 and 3/16.

The Genright corners we have are 3/16's:smokin: There nice

Be sure to post pictures of how that dash turns out...I was considering doing something similar but when I looked under the dash and sound about 150lbs of wire intertwined I decided against it! :D

haha ok i will take alot of pics of the dash for you:D

well here are a few updated pictures of the rear bumper/tire carrier:

Got more pics?:flipoff2: I like the SOR logo on the tire carrier. Again thats nice work.

I know this is not a hardcore suggestion but when all is done are you going to mount that tire with the back of the wheel facing out? I know its purely aesthetics but can you flip the wheel shiny side out?

Ya we are going to mount it with the back of the wheel facing out, we couldnt flip it around and mount it since it is a tight fit right now, and the backspacing would be alot different if it were mounted the other way

Its that time again, more pictures:

the spare tire carrier/bumper is finished, just has to be painted. The front end is being torn apart now and is awaiting the gears ect..

The tire carrier is nice. What are you going to do for the "pins" where it attaches to the top of the tub? Bolts or something else? I also like the the rear cage hoop gusset details.

Can you sell the rear Dana 60 truss in "kit" form, with all the pieces pre-cut and ready to weld on?

yeah, what he said.

did you plate the inside of the frame also where you notched the frame? is the top boxed in? how thick is the plate? any more pics?

thanks!! We are going to using a 5/8's Pin with a cotter pin

looks awsome. What color are you gonna paint it when you are done fabbing?

We actually have no idea what color the customer is going to paint it:confused:

any more pics of the notch?

ya i will go out and take some more pics right now. It is not plated, it will be stong enough since it is tied into the cage. There's also still a bit of frame left. Pictures are from top, back, and bottom

Edit: added pictures

I like the tire carrier. :smokin: Hell the entire rig looks likeit'llturn out sweet. :smokin:

Alright pictures of the other notch...

With the bar above the hinge going all the way accross the rear crossmember, where are you going to mount a tow point?

your work is always top notch!!!

nice front shackle setup.

Any updates?

i know this thing is done where are the updates???

Bump for a inspirational build...:smokin:

I can't tell you how hard it was to wait until today to ask again...
