Nick's CJ build part 1

[RAT]

I like it! I might have to try it.

Sorry I didn't make it up this weekend, I can't wait to check out the CJ in person. Looking great!

No big. If you want to use the thermometer I can take it with me and meet you somewhere during the day. Let me know.

I'm multi-tasking tonight. Laundry, LCAs, wash the dog, xmember, clean the garage, more suspension bracketry...
Oh yeah, and a Corona or two in the along the way

Test fit up LCAs on the axle

Xmember for forward CA mounts. 2"x.250 wall DOM and 1/4" plate. After the CA mounts are installed, some x-bracing will be added for stiffness.

The rectangle brackets in the fore ground are mock ups. The real ones are being made and will be 8.5" tall, to give a final vertical separation of 6.5" center to center on the CA bolts.

More tomorrow... Good night John Boy

[COLOR="#800000"]With current progress being influenced by my checkbook...we might have a new president by then. However if you wanna check it out, I think it might be on the front lawn so the boss can have his garage back for REAL Jeep work.[/COLOR]

It's Little Nicky!! Get it right.

You guys need to hurry up. You only have 3 more weeks. Looking good though.
