Hopefully done early March. This is 3rd time around so he's pretty versed in the jeep. I can see the rear control arms and mounts taking the longest. He tends to get caught up in geometry which is good in this case. He's already watching double triangulated video setups and sending me links to stuff. 1 hour ago, wjtstudios said: Your mechanic friend has to be ecstatic to build this project with you. Such a dream build! He is. He loved the axles. And was geeking out over the difference between the 2" and 2.5" coilovers. Lol I told him he'd die if he saw the trophy truck shit in person.

Gruff Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 Funny how the axles somehow look bigger off the jeep than under it. Probably cuz they're such a pain in the ass to maneuver. Handy having a fork truck to lift these up so I could get the wheels mounted on them. Edit. Oops. Those are the old ones 2 Link to comment
