Early 5's rule! I like them so much I cross bread my '95 YJ with a '62 Willy's to get my 4Bangler, short nose front clip gives me tons of tire clearance, especially after the bob-job and TJ flares. I hope to build a snorkel that will use the Willy's hood's snorkel door. Sorry for the 4th of july parade float shot, it's the only one I have after the recent paint work.

MTR's are cool, but 31's?

That's one DOPE vehicle.
Can't decide if I like before or after better.

what tubing did you use to build the back half, it might just be the pic but that doesnt look very sturdy, i like the fire wall, full view of the front tires:D

Question on the wheels. Are they they factory CJ wheels from the 70's? They look identical to the wheels on my 76 CJ7 Levi's/Renegade. I never liked th look of my wheels, but polished and with decent tires, they look nice. Maybe I'll keep them rather than getting some cheapo American Racing steel wheels.

I used 1"x1" x .090 wall on the side and 1"x1"x.125 along with 2"X2"X.125 on the floor area....... I'm far from done. I'm getting ready to attach .125 aluminum diamaond plate to the inside of the tub skeloton.... So that from the outside you would see the skeloton framing with dia. plate behind... The tub is from my figures and cad drawings going to be 20% lighter and 50% stronger then the stock tub???? But you now how figures go.. +- 20% :)..... I also am fabbing a full cage out of DOM 1.5 dia. round tube... O-beleive me she is plenty strong.....
