Taking the advice of the POR gurus I notched the frame of my CJ-7 to make sure I have room for the perty new set of Fox Coilovers. Is this a functional splice or is it going to break!

Looks like it will hold. The only thing that I would have done would have been to skip the 90* cuts. I would have tapered them, mainly just for the smoother, cleaner look.

I will say you have bigger balls than I, for cuttin up your frame like that.

the steel on the inner part of a cj frame is thinner then the outer, you may want to tie the outer part to the gussit a little more

 

[TPIJeep]

Planning on more gussets, want to set the 4 link under there and see where I can add them..


Also doing something for a little cosmetic improvement...

to quote Jerry Caesar in Dragnet:

Reverend, you've got balls the size of church bells

You mean like this? took long time by sawsall!

Going to weld a plate on there in the AM...

 

[emsoffroad]

That's what I was thinking.

BUTCHER-! BUTCHER-!

JUST KIDDING.

I'm wondering if I'lll need to do something of the same effect

on my junk.

how wide are your axles going to be-???

Better FAWKERS :flipoff2:

Sherpa, I will pull the tires off to see how wide I will be going with the new HP60 rear seems like about 8" wider then the original CJ-7 track width..

 

[RoCkSkuLLz]

why not just run them inside the frame rails??

[SHERPA]

why not just run them inside the frame rails??

running them inside the rails causes 2 issues:

the side-to-side efficiency goes way down, and it takes up

alot of space inside the tub. also might complicate gas-tank

routing, and other misc stuff.

Looks pretty stout to me man...:cool2:

 

[Oxjockey]

Hmm, how wide are your axles WMS to WMS and what's your tire offset?

Would changing either of those things have let you keep your frame intact?


Looks great, though! :beer:
