finally feel like I'm making steps forward instead of just taking things apart folded all the pinch seams and rewelded them Cut off the "gussets" started on the templates for the frame plates, doing 3/16 on bottom and inside, 12 ga on the outside got one section cut out and tacked up

Here is some examples of work ive done in the past, the first one is my old tj, the rest are rigs ive built for friends My TJ Friends TJ Two other friend's XJs And another XJ

It was impounded by the Kansas Highway patrol for being left on the side of the road too long and the guy couldnt pay the impound fees, threw a rod, passed thru half a dozen hands and had a jacked up title. would have been a good rig to build a DD out of but i wanted a clean slate to build and already have a truck. so as much as it does suck to cut up, its been really nice to work with. ive got some ideas to protect most of the sheet metal, its gonna be wheeled hard but i like my rigs to stay clean.

Currie 60 14 Bolt 39.5s FOA air bumps

frame prep a sharp wood chisel works really well to scrape the majority of the undercoating off, for future reference. then i used aircraft stripper to remove the rest of the paint and such when i cut the inner fenders out i left the finch seem where it was spot welded to the frame, but I'm wanting to box the whole front frame section in sooo... then folder it over with a hammer and welded it back together the last 12in or so were left unstripped and welded because one the motor goes in ill be cutting it off and tubing the rest to clear the 60

makin some progress strippin stuff shed cleaned up again jeep rolled in with all major components removed literally zero droop... no longer an issue... sage is ready to go wheelin... and just can't stop cutting!

So, a small introduction here, I started off in an XJ and then built a very capable, DD TJ while in school, click the link below for the build thread. Traded it with plans of building a buggy, but a year later and a big career move i still hadnt started the buggy build and was tired of not wheeling so i picked this up for 500 bucks. TJ Build http://www.jeepforum...ge-fund-878243/ 88 MJ 4Cyl, 5 speed, 2 wd Basically everything I have collected for the buggy will be going into this build. 350 on propane, sm465, dana 300. Currie Rock Jock 60, 5.38s, 35s spline inner and outer alloys, drive flanges, detroit. Full hydro Shaved 14 bolt, 5.38s, detroit, disc brakes. Currie antirock Rear Sway Bar 16 inch FOA coilovers 4 in FOA air bumps 39.5 TSLs 105-107 in WB Dual Wilwood master cylinders and cutting brake. Mastercraft seats Warn HS9500 winch 4 links front and rear The plan for the MJ is do 2x6 rocker/boat sides, internal cage, Rear in going to be cut off behind the cab and tubed out, Front grill is going to be narrowed, tube fenders and engine cage with the winch behind the grill and the radiator in the back. Interior is going to be stripped and have custom dash... Hopefully done by March. pics
