Overall, the project was fairly straightforward and not too hard IMO. Although I took forever to get it done, it wasn't due to the project's complexity but rather winter, me getting parts together...

So the WJ knuckle conversion & OTK steering is done and it wheels great! Going again tomorrow on the annual TRJC Safari. Should be over 100 rigs in town this weekend....

LOL, I know the feeling exactly. I need rear leafs & shocks but my wife isn't so sure I need them this season. :bang:

I did. It's a good thing you were able to get those spiders out. Gonna be a sweet rear end man. You gonna convert to discs?

Gonna give it a shot, might as well right?!

I didn't. Bought it from a store on ebay, wonder if I could still get it. It's new.

Very helpful, hopefully I don't need to move it but if I do now I know how to fix it. Much appreciated!



Will do. My cousin has wheeled w/ one in his XJ for a few years now so I went with it....

Good news, weather has warmed and I've had a chance to get the WJ knuckle conversion done & 1 ton steering on!!! Bad news, my solid brake lines up front are rotten and I can't bleed brakes because 1...

As many as my religion allows and a few I had to ask forgiveness for, lol!

Moar!

So here's where I am after the weekend.

Put axle assembly back into Jeep! Also drilled out my front rotors so that my lug pattern would be correct after the WJ knuckle swap. I just clocked the...

Yes, you're correct. I had a bit of a mishap while transporting w/ the forklift to be prepped for paint. All I feel like commenting on about it, rofl. It's not quite as bad as it looks in the pic...

Well, putting ball joints in tonight, been BUSY with work. Terrible excuse I know. But here is where it is now. @Oldfaurt; the 4.0 seems to do ok w/ the 4.10 gears but my goal is to upgrade to...

Thanks guys, working on it tonight! Was going to last night but I put in 13 at work and was whipped.

Josh, I'm still waiting for your rig to be in my driveway one morning with a rough sketch & a...

Thanks guys! Been working on the front when I can. Got my pitman arm and WJ knuckles bored out to 5/8" for the 1 ton steering I'm building. My dad & grandpa pulled the whole front end out for me...

Sorry, been so busy this summer I haven't hardly had time to wipe. :smiley-laughing021: Anyhow, working on the WJ knuckle upgrade right now & trussing the front. Will get pics on here of some...

Fixed! You were right Josh, easy fix. Made a spacer similar to JCR Offroad sans the bumper bolt hole. Used 1/2" SS nuts for collars welded to a piece of flat 3/16" steel cut from an outline of the...

Yup, Murphy was an optimist.

Well, Murphy was at it again. Was pulling out of shop Saturday morning when I heard a loud POP and had trouble steering. It seems the steering box spacer has broken and I couldn't go...

So I finished Stage 1 tonight and moved it outside the shop. Ready to wheel Saturday now! Still have to put skin on my fenders, wire & stuff before road legal but thats not what I really care...

Primed the front here. Time to put it back together & get it on the trail for the Two Rivers Jeep Club run this weekend! I have a lot of little things left to do like wiring lights, cb, etc., but I...

Thats awesome b/c you don't know how many times that thought went through my head! My son even said the same thing. Maybe I need to build myself a pulling rig!?

Honestly, I think I'm only adding 500 to 600#'s over where I started from, tops. The exo can be picked up by my wife & I so can't be more than 200#'s, the rockers were about 65#'s each (weighed them...

Here are the pics of my front hoop & fenders w/ mud flares. Rear tire carrier done, will get pics in a little bit....

So after another 2 weeks I figure I should probably update my build. As of last night I am done w/ the structural welding, so now I can wheel this weekend! After I was able to get help...
