First off was cleaning my garage freeing up enough room for the jeep and the motorcycle.

Next I am redoing the rear suspension using later CJ springs and revolver shackles.

A big thumbs up to Dan at Ruffstuff, The parts are way strong and fit like a glove.

Got the rear done minus the shock mounts. Stretched the WB almost 3 inches. Gathering the parts for the front. Currently pondering welding the spiders in the rear or mini spool.

ouch.

I know I know, its for sale now Im ready for something faster.
 
Yeah Mike (sandiegoxj) and I got the axle centered up. The spring perch had to be partially mounted to the housing.
 
Playing around with some scraps today. Thinking either Overkill antenna mount or frame/body mounts.

since its a short wheelbase, any plans on adding a rear limit strap for those revolver's in case they unload when going down a steep decline?
 
I am looking at that right now. Thinking I will complete the build then take it on a shake down run and see what needs changing/improvment. I may eventually go with boomerang shackles. Looking at running coils up front, not sure yet ,looking at the most cost effective/ and ride quality options right now. going coils could be very costly.
