I had to cut the back of the tub out so that I could push the tank as far back as possible. It's going to be close for the top of the axle housing to the skid plate on full compression. I think it'll sneak by ;)Quote:

I like what you did with the engine mounts. I never thought of modifying them, just thought I would scrap mine and start from scratch.
I only kept the stuff that bolted to the block. I welded a piece of flat plate to the frame, some tubing to the engine mount (with bushings), and then some plates from the engine down to the frameQuote:

I got some BTF tube fenders for a CJ but the bend is 90 degrees and I HATE that - I sent back the tubes so they can swap them out for some YJ or TJ ones. I will just have to cut the top plate to fit.
I figured out and purchased all the stuff for the fuel and brake plumbing. I will be doing that soon.
Steering column mounted - I had to relocate the mounting bracket because my gauges hit them
As soon as I get the speakers mounted, the dash will be just about done. I will need a headlight switch and a check engine light...
Cody brought me my radiatior with the fan shrowd on it that he welded to it. This might need some modifications, it's pretty tight to the engine, we shall see after I get the grill mounted better.
I'll try to get some pics up soon

Looks like you have the same CB I do. I dig the fan shroud.
Lookin' pimp Scott! I really like those BTF corners, the dash/gauges look killer.
I thought you were going for light weight? how much do those corner's weigh
looks good. those springs flattened out a lot with that weight didnt they?
not going for light weight on this one - those corners only weigh 22#'s each though.Quote:
