    Very nice! Details needed! Front axle? Are those the rock rails from Rocky-Road?

    No, I took a piece of 5\16 hot rolled flat and put em in a brake. They boltto my roll cage outriggers that I designed into the new frame when I built it. The frame is 2 by 5 box tube 1\4 in thick with 3" square tube outriggers, 1\4" thick. All galvanized under some tractor supply black paint.

    Also, thanks for the compliment!

    I broke the flat to about a 45 degree angle so I'd have a step and also a protective rail.

    In the pic on the trail it was at 108" wheel base with 39.5 tsl's. Spring over on stock yj springs all around. Drivetrain is 1998 jeep 4.0, aw4, and Dana 300. 60 front 14 Bolt rear. In the latest pic in the shop the front is spring under on custom 56" leaf springs and re worked rear hangers to lower it 4.5 inches to match the front. Sitting on 42" pit bull rockers. It's a project that snowballed out of control but is very capable in the rocks. With all of that said the little green one gets used twice as much and is a ton of fun. '56 cj5 body on the frame and running gear my '82 started out with. 151 4 banger junky 4 speed trans with Dana 300, amc 20 rear scout2 d44 front.
