The saga continues another lengthened TJ (happy James)

[Hackle]

As my YJ got pretty much completed I told everyone it was pay back time to Joe. This is Joe's new rig and it is 90 percent complete. We will take a week or two to paint out but the major work is done.

Lookin' good!! My question though... what is the deal with no rear x-member??? Is that going to stay like that or is it just not finished yet?? If it is staying like that, then is there something we dont see that is strengthening the frame????

Turtle!

What happened to the fuel cell?

You are going to need a step ladder to get in.

Is Joe ready to do mine now? ;)

Yes! They magically changed a YJ to a TJ! Amazing!

[Hackle]

The rear cross member is part of the 10 percent and in fact is all built to weld in.
It is about the same height as my YJ is. It is not as tall as it looks in the pictures.
The wheel base is right around 102" and the front did not stretch much. Most of it is in the rear.
As to the skull any one remember Where's Waldo?

[My1stJeep]

:p

[RufftyTuffty]

Lookin good but a can see a couple scary issues....:eek:

Single shear draglink...hope you don't drive on the road....weld on 2 tabs and put the heim in the middle.

Front lower CA mounts...paper thin and prolly bend or tear off soon....cut off and replace with 3/8" boxed in.

Holy cow what front axle is that? :D :cool: :D

Looks like the rear bumper is comin along.

[Hackle]

A couple of fork lift flex pics from today. It seems to work pretty good. BTW RT the front mounts will be changed but it is not a priority at this point we want to get it on the trail.
