Nice!

You should get Sean to help out.  He used to be on here, and has a ton of knowledge on setting up that stuff.  Should see the front crossmember I got from Sky-Offroad last June!!  Still gonna swap out the 3.0 for a 3.4?  I'd do that first.  Fenders will be easier to lean over doing a swap. 

I will be down in Fresno in June, if there is anything you need me to pickup for ya!!   :eyebrow:

Pulled apart for locker, fifth stud, and truss mod. Must modify, stock is boring.

Not much progress this weekend. Spent too much time Saturday pulling a fuel tank out of a yj, then some springs off a Chevy, then a distributor out of a ford, and then a couple switches and some interior pieces out of a 91 runner.  It was a busy day.  :greengrin:


Got the motor mounts capped off.




Also got the frame tubes and front cross member glued in today.




Now I just need to get the axle back together....

Weather was nice enough to get some paint sprayed last night. Hopefully I have everything now to get the axle put back together tonight.

Some of us get too old to be wrenching on our knees.   If I could afford one, I'd have one in my shop.   Last time I wrenched on my front end, my knees hurt for a week. 

By the way, this isn't his garage. 


Looking better Bam!  I love older Cherokee's lifted!!
