Two new builds, one a cleanup....one PROJECT

OK..............so the project (s) have taken a terrible turn....I cannot afford them both, so one got sold, and this is what is happening, self explanatory I think!

 

I hope not...............honestly I think its gonna sit a little low. SOA on flat full traction front leafs(front), YJ rear RE 4.5 extreme duty springs(SUA). I need to do SOMETHING about the brakes fairly immediately, I guess I wonder about this herm bracket so I can just mount a master that will operate the chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 calipers at all four wheels. How hard is that with the body on the frame?? Wonder how these brakes are gonna work with no power.................., hmmmmmm, also wondering about a remote mount reservoir so I can run a 2 into 1 to 2.5 out the back on the driveside exhaust up IN the frame as god intended so I dont leave this exhaust on the trail first time out!! Maybe installing a 1 inch body lift to help with the clearance for the exhaust and brakes......

 

Tape on rockers is where I marked for a set of rockers Im getting that fit an LJ (2004-2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited), and am thinking of getting some TJ tubed fenders, have to enlarge the wheel openings to some degree, or I need like...............oh 1000 inches of lift to clear those Toyo 37s, so its kind of a compromise. I have to trim wheel openings to clear those tires on like 5" lift.

 

Tube flares for a TJ or factory TJ rear flare should work well to open up the rear wheel well and tube fenders for the front would be sweet with the rest of your combo. You could also just trim the front fenders and mod some tube flares to get some more tire coverage. I think it will look good.

As clean as the front fenders look, you should put them aside or sell them and build some tube fenders.

 

:iagree:

 

This is the plan actually, rear TJ tube flares (thats why the tape is there, measuring for some pre-fabbed TJ flares).....and I am buying some prebuilt front fenders and shortening them for the early front.

 

Also, anyone want to buy the factory accessory rear tire/jerry can carrier?? For sale......its in great shape

 

were those maine plates on the flatty???

 

Yeah they are, they were NH plats in the first page.... Are you in maine?

 

Hard question.....my kids r in Maine, but my heart has been stolen by San Diego. Right now, I don't know where I live, I just know I can't afford all this crap now, so away went the flattie (cj6 is way more fam friendly), and away went the Harley, trying to re-assemble my cj6 with the spensive parts no one would give me much for!!
