 :therethere: Since you asked, I am going to make it longer. I am going from 87" wheel base to 100", that's an extra 13". That will give me more stability for climbing, plus a longer drive shaft length and room for a second lowrange box. Also the fuel tank will get remade with aluminum and 4" wider from front to back giving me about 5 more gallons. There will be room for a slide out storage box under the seats. All the heavy stuff will be forward of the rear axle and down low. No more tire carrier and jerry can hanging way off the back causing me to pull wheelies on the steep climbs. :hyper:

Then I need to finish the custom T case with the offset rear output and build a frount axle for the rear so both thirds line up. Then the rear will steer with hydrilics and center with a lock pin. I will need Marlins rear disconnect so I can use the upper output for a PTO driven trailer. I crack me up  :rofl2:  Can you say six wheel drive.  :yupyup:

It should look like a CJ6 only in a flat fender.  :biggthumpup:
:usa: American by birth, redneck by choice.
