I haven't figured out how to post pictures so I'll pass on the link. Its the Red CJ7 at www.lavenderbrothers.com

These are the bits & pieces: '80 CJ7, AMC 401, T18, 3.15 Dana 20, Dana 60, FF 14bolt, 4.56, Detroits, spring over w/ stock 7 leaf waggy-springs, 38*12.50 TSL swampers, Hummer wheels, .....

There are some small things to figure out, but overall it works great. The shake down run at Hollister Hills was a great success. Things were dry and smoothed compaired to during TTC but I went up the tank trap with little drama, and had no problems with the mini-rubicon.

What do ya'll think?

I drove by there today and saw your rig pulling into the lot. Looks pretty sweet. Got any pics of trap right now?
You have a star so all you have to do to post pics is hit the Browse button down the post page a little.

Looks good. Someone was looking for pictures of revolvers in action in another thread...

What are you going to do (or did do) for driveshafts?

Thanks.
The rear shocks don't rub at all (even though they are outboard of the frame). The front shock location is being modified to fix the severe rubbing there (the top of the shocks need to be moved inward). The pics are before the steering was completed and the drive shafts installed. The pitman arm I have is flat, the drag link is over the springs, but the tie rod is on the top of the stock knuckle. I didn't have enough room to put them both over the springs. The rear drive shaft required a CV joint but the front didn't. The revolvers are a cary-over from before the spring over. They are at the rear only and with the traction bar I haven't had any problems yet (but I'm keeping an eye out). I don't see whats wrong with the Ubolts.
The wheel base has been pushed out to ~101" I hope to get more pics as it get the finishing touches and some action shots are in order.
