:lol: I didn't get much time on it today, but had a little mock up of the springs on there and I got the rear plates very slightly wrong so had to modify them, the top angle was a few degrees out but it's all sorted now! gonna crack on with it tomorrow and you never know it might be rolling again by the end of the weekend :mrgreen:

What you've all been waiting for........... some progress :thefinger:

Parrot dropped around some nuts n bolts earlier (thanks again Parrot! :thumbup: ) so I set about trial fitting the front axle, Damn It's high on the YJs + 35s :brows: should drop a bit with the weight of the engine and transmission; at the moment I think it's going to be around 19" to the bottom of the chassis without the engine etc. It was 16.5" on the 33s and +2"Ironmans :brows:

I'm also going to redrill my perches and move the front axle foward an inch to improve the approach angle (not that it's bad) and bulkhead clearance.

Looks like you will almost have a vertical approach angle when you relocate the axle. nice work ;)
