Me too. Ordering some nice motor mounts for it, my custom ones aren't making the cut.

It's been raining for about a week straight, so I haven't been doing too much on the build (too humid in the garage). I did pick up steel tubing for my cross members, I have 2x2 and 2x4. Going to order a full 4x8 sheet of 3/16" to cut my gussets and what not from. I also ordered an inexpensive...

Cutting and grinding like crazy. Got lots of the brackets cut off and cleaned up. I need to order some tubing for the new cross members and start mocking that up this week. If you're wondering how much I took off just look under the front of your JK. 😆

Nice looking Jeep you got there. I have never seen a winch fairlead set up like that, it's cool. Looks like a nice trail by the way.

I really like the rear bumper design, make sure its going to work with your future plans (drop in camper). The side steps are pretty nice, I like them a lot. From reading it sounds to me that there should almost be a his and hers set of Jeeps in the driveway. Its very cool if you are working...

I was thinking about welding the holes up as well as back halfing the frame for strength. I prefer not to and just beef it up though, still figuring it out. Thanks

Bad@$$ I love it. What an overhaul. Does it articulate well with your lower arms on the outside of the frame? I was considering this as well except I am shooting for dual triangulation. I decided hell or high water that there will not be a track bar on my build. One hell of a comp cut, it...

I am building a JK rig. I need opinions from JK and TJ owners here. Facts: -I need to cut out the rear body washer/nutserts and make new. -All of the body mounts need replaced. -I hate the JK style body mounts and frame mounts. Goal: -Install TJ boatside body mounts. -Use TJ hardware to mount...

Much appreciated, I have to admit I am still learning how to browse this forum.

Quick peak at the Turbo 400 bolted to the NP203 and NP205 doubler kit before it gets bolted to the Cummins to figure out frame mounts It is a small space, I agree the Jeep will rot away long before the rest of the build.

Anytime buddy, it ain't far so come by anytime. Maybe I can help you figure out some extra stretch. If your working this way in Feb that works too, since I will be working to get this thing done by spring. I may be cutting my upper coil buckets out if you want to use them, that is if you are...

Sweet, I love this Heeps name. That is a real nice set up. Hopefully I can get my jalopy built in time for this years Moab run. You should add some pics of how you got it built. I would love to see how you did it all.

I like what you've done. If your near me, you should come by so we can talk shop. Lol I have enough tube and heims to build a second rig.

Ordered my bumper. Which is a weld together kit that also welds to the frame. Yes, this is intentional since it will serve as my new front cross member. It was the last one apparently. I realized while going over my frame that I will most likely be cutting out every single cross member (one...

Started some of the frame work. Which had me thinking. Uh oh right? So out of the eight body mounts 4 of them, the bolts needed to be cut off. 1st off the way these things are designed is worthless and ridiculous. Ever see a video where a JK body flies off the chassis while offroading, it's...

I like that! That looks pretty handy, for so many things. Beautiful looking FJ too

Seems like it has been that way my while life. It is good to be able to help ourselves in so many ways. It keeps my mind younger, I think... Lol

Congrats on the Jeep! I am surprised that I didn't read it in here yet, so I will mention it. Re-gearing your Jeep will in no way give you more highway speed. If you go 35's and regear appropriately you may still hit 80 if your lucky. You will have to dump the 3.8 and tranny to do better...

Frames back, now to get it out of the truck.
