Can you do a bunch of work then save the pics and post a few a day while you're gone? I enjoy the updates (and pics) and will go nuts without some for that long. :eeks1:

No harm no foul. Thats a valid point.
I set this up using stock 15" Jeep aluminum wheels. I believe they have a 5.5" back spacing. I'm using a 16" wheel with 3" back spacing. It looks better as far as clearance, but still tight.

Very nice. Is that a stock pitman or a ZJ one with a slight drop?

With all the (beautiful) work in the knuckles, why not go WJ brakes while you are in there?

No its a FT pitman. The picture below shows: the one on the left is the FT drop pitman, the one on the right is the stock XJ pitman. I only looks to be an inch or so differance.

Is that a bolt on upgrade? What year WJ do I look for and what advantages are they? Bigger rotor?

Working on front bump stops. I,m using the same size bumps I used in the rear. 2.5" FOA's I wanted to make the stops removable from the top or bottom of the bump cans. So I made the bump can retainers removable. I wish I did this in the rear.
Bump retainers before welding
Can welded into the body
Top gusset plates
Bottom bump pad tacked in place.
With spring in place
