I have an idea to reuse my anti-rock in the front, but am prioritizing getting more important things done first so that I can get it back on the trail!

Ask and you shall receive! Here's the front crossmember and winch mount all fabbed up: I also made progress on the front axle. I made a bridge on the top of the truss for the upper link mount, cut off all the JK coil spring stuff, and welded new lower CA mounts on. I need to put the upper...

Got them at summit, no adaptors

My friend's TJ ripped off rear trackbar mount upper C/A mounts, broke the rear driveshaft, and a front axle shaft on one trail (with 8 more miles of rocks to go). Another friend sheared his JK sector shaft in JV. Another guy in our group broke a jk rubi front axle tube in half on the trail...

My thoughts exactly. I wasnt sure what your plan was with the grill. Put me down for another vote for white!

White or orange like a few tan flatties I've seen. Looks amazing one of my favorite Jeep builds on the internet! Great work.

This build is full of great info. I’m also in the middle of a jk swap so I will definitely be checking here for some ideas. Great work! I wish I had the patience to put detail into a thread like this.

Lots of gussets/reinforcements, shock tower crossmember, and potentially a front bumper hoop if it seems necessary. I’ll show a finished product of the front crossmember and winch mount when it’s done. Currently it is pretty flimsy but I have plans to rectify that.

Here’s a little preview of my front stretch work. It is far from done so don’t judge anything yet. I’m using a modified version of Barnes new steering box stretch. I really wanted to sink the 8274 down and am really happy with the result so far. I also have an idea to keep use of the front anti...

Made some more progress on the jeep. Rear is done aside from e brake cables and locker wiring. I've also cut off the steering box mount, coil/shock towers, and trackbar mount. I hope I never have the displeasure of having to remove the factory trackbar bracket again. I'm shooting for roughly...

Rear axle is finish welded and painted ready to go back under the jeep.

I was able to weld up the one cracked weld as well as the insides and made a little top strap reinforcement for both sides. While I was there I cut out some gussets for the towers themselves. Then I finished tacking all of my rear axle brackets and tossed it under the jeep to cycle it...

I have all my mounts tacked on for the rear axle and found a big crack in my shock tower welds. I think this issue was documented previously on the forum so I’m going to fix the cracked weld, weld the inside and make a strap on the top of the tower. Glad I caught it before the shock blew through...

I finished up the truss on my jk 44. Next steps is to finish tacking up my link/shock mounts and cycle. I added some extensions to the Barnes truss since it’s designed for factory jk coil buckets and I widened it to be a bit stronger and look more complete. Hopefully I’ll have it under the jeep...

Haha I will hit you up next time. I wasn’t part of the cal 4wheel run but our trip was already planned out so we went anyways b
