Looking good man! Not far to go now!

Have you got a locker in the rear? I would recommend some H/D shafts and cvs for the front with 34s you might find that they are the weakest link in the sj drivetrain :lol: I've been through a few cvs with the 33s! What locker are you thinking about for the front?

hello,

right i havent been doing much been bust with other things,

missing links turned up and are on, all the bump stops are done,

not going to run rear bump stops, i dont see the need.

rock assalt front shafts should be here soon with my front lockrite locker :)

the man himself rockwatt sent me a rock bucket big thanks to him, il post some pics up tomorrow.

next step is to flex the front up, and get the shocks and brake lines ordered.

then cage time.

all the inside is now done, seat and dash are all in properly, well for now !!

Sounds good Mike but where are the pics :tongue: I never used to run rear bump stops with my old lift springs, they wouldn't flex past flat anyway :lol:

Did you order the Cromo shafts from the US or O.r.a?

Looks wicked, I'll be glad when I can see progress on mine, just fixing holes at the moment doesn't look like I'm getting any where because theres so many of them.
