Update:
gears set up, spring perches made, housing under frame.
ordered a clutch / flywheel / adapters etc... to get a manual on a 5.3 ($600...)
ordered a nut that I was missing for my 4x4 tranny
ordered Novaks hydro slave cylinder kit (cheaper for me to buy than to waste time figuring stuff out)

This weekend - I will be installing a screen door and working on the CJ. By the end of the weekend, I plan on having both axles bolted in (perches not welded) and the front axle finished out - ie shafts and outers installed. If my tranny nut comes in, I will bolt that to the t-fer case.

Could you go into more detail on this part.....what adapters are you talking about and what transmission did you decide to go with? Unless you bought an SFI bellhousing, I'm trying to figure out what part of putting a manual tranny behind a 5.3 cost $600.

it's really just a clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, spacer for the 0.400 difference, TO bearing, bolts, and a few other things. I talked to a few people about getting the flywheel for the 5.3 (never came with a standard) and you have to get it from the dealer. The dealer wants $430 for the flywheel (for a 4.8). The parts store wants $280 for the clutch kit. I didn't feel like figuring out what parts from what trucks I needed to get...

yeah, I guess it does add up quick. You could have also used an Fbody or Corvette LS1 flywheel. I bet there are are few of those floating around ebay. Either way, you've got it and it's together. Good deal.

actually it's 55-57, but yeah, not everybody has one of those.
