Made a video showing the jeep and the new rear axle!

The last couple of days have been very busy, I finished cutting the floor out removing the rust... Then I got the floor tacked in, and finally welded up and ground down I am pretty happy with how that all went. The problem being is that in removing all that rust, I wound up having...

Got the tub to the shop, the company I work for has been nice enough to let me use the shop over Christmas to install the new Tub and rear axle. She is in good shape over all but the drivers side floor is full of rust. Spent the last couple of days cleaning up the tub and cutting out...

So after going to all that trouble to swap tubs, I found a better tub than the tub I replaced the old tub with, so here we go again! And it is the color I want! Paint looks like it will clean up enough to be serviceable! Need to patch a bit of rust in the floor, but managed to score a patch...

It has been a long time since I have posted here. I had wound up taking a job back home in Montana shortly after this so I packed everything up, closed down my shop and moved back home. The job didn't work out, and I went back to truck driving for a while and the jeep went into storage...

What part of Montana are you visiting? I am in Livingston if you make it through here drop me a line.

Damn that thing is looking good. Keep the updates coming!

She is looking really good, I am digging the seats and console.

I got you, sounds like a bit of a pain in the butt. Is the Dana 60 this way too?

Ah I see, so there is no side to side adjustment on a 44 like there is on a 14 bolt?

What is the case spreader for? I have never done gears in an axle before this is all new to me.

Kind of like this, from another thread.

You know a thought I just had is I suspect you will have to use a TJ windshield frame if you are using a TJ hard top in order to make the doors work you will have to run TJ doors too, this is because if memory serves I think the TJ has more of a leaned back windshield than the CJ. Not sure how...

I am interested to see what it is going to cost. I think this is going to be a pretty interesting jeep if you build it.

I was up at 4am sitting behind the wheel just smiling from ear to ear. There is still a lot to be done, but the next time I blow it apart it will be to paint it but before I do need to get the rocker knockers and side armor and get them put on it. Right now the big push is I am moving back...
