how should you know. I hope my cage holdsupmy miller flux core welders use gas.
And now, back to my build.I got home from the 47 trip around 4 this morning, took a shower, then was gone headed to Conroe by 5:30 this morning. I showed up at my house and scared the **** outa my folks. So far I've spent the day cleaning the shop and loading the old axles and leafs into my truck to sell when I get back to C.S. on Sunday. I'm eating lunch right now, but the new rearend is gonna go under this afternoon, as well as the front (hopefully). If all goes well and I get the u-bolts made today, or tomorrow, I could have the driveshafts made by the end of the week.

Ok, here's some teaser pics of what I accomplished today. Do realize that I still need to find some u-bolts to fit the front and rear, spring plates, and perches for the rear. I've been searching but to no luck, any help as to where I can pick up these parts? Well here's the pics
Looks like a BNC truck...
Hope you enjoyed em', I'm getting closer to getting it out on the trails, but without the wornout 31"s
Also whoever is planning on coming down next weekend to help needs to let me know so I have a list. We'll definitely be working/welding/drinking, but I'm not sure as to whether or not we'll go to that concert. Just not sure yet.

get your dimensions and go to Napa for the ubolts
you should be able to get the perches and plates at xtreme performance or order them from btf or crawltech or some other company that Feller can tell you the name of. I can't remember it right now
oh yeah. Too tall, needs more triangulation. Jeeps suck.
uh, I think its www.rocklogic4x4.com, but their online store isn't pulling up on this computer
all I can say is that is one crazy assed contraption you have that jeep slung from. And I thought I had done some wierd things in my time
hey fellar you can put all that shiznit in one post not two or three you post whore.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!

and I'm not trying to pad, I'm just really bored here at work, so I come back to the same threads and add more.
Ill be there, but I live in waco so I will need fo you to PM me direction to your place in Conroe and what time yall think yall are going to leave
Fellar is what you call someone in the west
Feller drives the buggy

Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
that thing is gonna be hella tall
Yeah it will be once the 36"s are on, but I think the springs will soften up a little with time.

i noticed on the pics the shackles have a second hole, i would bolt them up on there and lower it some
Yeah that was something I began to consider after looking at the pics, I'm sure we'll take care of that next weekend. But I don't know high COD could make for some fun flops...
