hey can I have my seats back then
its cute :flipoff2:
why do both axles look pushed back?
I think it's just the angle of the pic? In person it doesn't look that way.Quote:

it didnt look that way in other pics so i think it is just the pic
I will show you that only the rear is pushed back. Notice sample A. picture is at an angle, plus having fullwidths which stick out way past the fenders leaving a huge gap throws the eye off.

Now look at B. and you notice that only the rear is pushed back, this is still at a slight angle but you can tell that the front axle isn't pushed back.

the truck will work much better if you push that front axle a few inches foward - especially since it is going to flex backwards into the body now.
i dont think that it is pushed back, i compared to to mine and it looks about the same. but because of the shackle reversle yes it would help to push it forward a couple inches.
but now how?
drill a new hole in the perches? - easy/fast fix
i would say use toyota springs like i said before, that will push it forward a couple inches, but he is using like 1.5" yj springs... another reason for the lift issue.
so this would lower the front about an 1" and then just lower the rear shackle down to the next whole, once you get that big ass winch sitting up front your front in is going to settle anyways and be about even.
and safer
Just got word that Bill and crew have completed or figured out everything. They're waiting on the tubing which comes in Tuesday and they said they'll have it ready for pickup Thursday. :gigem:
Man, that's looking pretty cool. I'm not sure about Jeep springs, but Cruiser springs have an offset center pin (by 1.5"), so by flipping the front and rears you can gain 6" of wheelbase. Maybe you can do that, maybe they're not offset. I'm not sure if those are lift springs or not (because I haven't read the whole thread), but if they are, you can look into just using stock springs. I run stock springs with a spring over. Huge tires will solve any hanger or related clearance issues that you may have with the hangers. 42s should do the trick. :) Have you measured the width vs the wheelbase? I'm curisous if it's square. Looking forward to seeing it in action. The cage build sounds hella cool. Congrats on what's shaping up to be a real fun looking rig.
Thanks, after Clayton I'll address the wheelbase and height issue. I know the width is like 80"s or so because internal width of my trailer is 82" and it barely fit. I know it's pretty close to being a square though.
Like I said, I need to go and pick the jeep up this week or weekend sometime, so I guess we'll see how it goes.
It may be a cube.
cubes pretty funny
Ok it's oh **** time. I've now taken a last ditch resort and come down to Conroe to see if I can help with the situation. I may have to return after Monday as well. The problem is that the shims I have in the front were not enough to fix the front driveline problem so now one of Bill's guru's has to come out to figure out a new front driveshaft, plus the power steering still needs doing, and find a dual main pulley so I can run 2 belts for p.s. If I may quote my father for a moment, "better to have it done right and badass the first time than ****ty and unsafe." So it's really a role of the dice as to whether or not the hunk of ****'s gonna make it to Clayton. That's why I'm here.
