Ruff Stuff perches that still need to be welded in... Dropped the frame and springs on the axles... You can see the extra plates added to the side. The shackles have been replaced with boomerangs and the springs were moved further back.

Welded up the rear bumper and new crossmember. It has shackle hangers for the rear stretch, clevis tabs and a hitch mount... The pin is insert from behind the bumper. (this was taken before welding it in on both sides)... The clevis tabs go through the bumper on one side but (cuz i...

Now enough with the past headache. Here is the YJ build... Found a sandblasted and painted frame with zero rust. Yippee! Just about every part used for the frame buildup was from Ruff Stuff... I highly recomend them for anyone planning a build. Test fitting to get the right angles...

So here are some pics and quick decriptions of the build... Here is what i started with... "The First Draft" MORE PICS OF THE CJ7 MESS... http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y193/nano151/The%20Jeep%20Build/The%20First%20Draft%20-%20CJ7/ Started with this... Found alot of this...

There are two metal ribs that run down the width of the topper. I just made sure to run the front mounts over those strips. The back ones just go right through the fiberglass. It's much stronger than you might think. During one trip i had it loaded with a few large tents, several camping...

Yeah, it's a 6 month project that is now going on close to 3 years cuz we had twins in the process and that's taken up most of my free time. Now i get half a day each week (when i'm lucky). I'm also planning to take two days off this month to work on the jeep so i should be able to get a lot...

Been checking out your builds and figured i'd post up my own progress as i go. This Jeep build has changed so many times that i've lost count. First started off with a $800 non-running 78 CJ7 with a free fiberglass tub. That got stripped down to the frame and, after several weeks of work, i...

As a fellow Southern Floridian i have to agree. Deep water, especially during the rainy season, really limits your options if you don't run a snorkel. I'm getting ready to install and aluminum River Raider snorkel on my YJ which i bought for $75 used. I plan to use their universal airbox, but...

Too bad you're so far. A friend is selling the Surco rack off his XJ with 4 Hellas and 2 backups for $280.

You're gonna rip that light right off the rear bumper the first time out. You don't have to worry about a rock bouncing off it but any time you go down or up a sharp ledge, you run the risk of scraping the rear (and ripping the light off). You should get a pair of the cheap small rectangular...

Here's my '92 YJ build. Trying to build an all-purpose rig but keeping in mind that (unfortunatly) we mostly have mud down here. Here are the specs... Chevy 350 (RV Cam, Roller Rockers, block huggers, intake and adding a Truck Avenger carb soon), Built TH350, np208, Chevy d44 & 12bolt...
