Got a Shock Hoop Welded In!

[THE_OWL]

Finally after two years, I made some progress on the coilover project.
This thing can almost stand on its own.
Ive had all these great parts sitting in my garage forever: Atlas, 37x17 MT/Rs on beadlocks, coilovers, Oilcoolers Hanson Bumper, Wilwood brakes etc. Theres still tons to do, plumbing, welding, putting the motor back together, timing, atlas Install, driveshafts, blah blah ( I have a list if anyone wants to see it :D )
At this rate you can definitly pencil me in for Moab 2006

Do you really think that a rear Dana 44 is going to hold up to 400hp and 37s? I would have at least a Ford 9" under there if not a Dana 60 or 14b.

Yes I do.
How many Splines in a 9" ?
Ive had that axle under there since 1995 with that engine.
Ive broken the ring and pinion three times, but in 10 years thats not bad at all.
Its also a Full Float axle with warn shafts now.

For those that care. Got the Jeep standing on its own finally.
I Posted a few pics but you can see more HERE (http://www.nmnetsys.net/hosted/progress/)
The rear is still at about 6-7" lift (hard to tell these days).
Heres a pic with the 37" MT/R on the back. As you can see its got to come up quite a bit.

You know, you suck.

Better move those rear backups or they'll be the first thing to go.

Better move those rear backups or they'll be the first thing to go.
Probably easier to let them breakoff, then remove them.
Actually I leave the bolts semi loose and they rolled up last time I got that much departure.
I think the 37" spare on back will prob hit first this time :D
Its built as a Multi-purpose /expedition type rig, rather than all out rock-bunny.
