rredalty Posted December 14, 2008 Author Posted December 14, 2008 Slowly but surely it's getting there. Big thanks to High2by and PacificEd for the dash harness. I got it swapped in and everything is working the way it should now. While the dash was out I dyed it to match the suade/ leather seats and door panels I made for it so now everything matches( aside from some small things). Also needed to get some new trim pieces for the front and at the JY they had 5 or 6 97+ XJ's so I figured I'd make use of the 97+ header panel I had laying around. I scored the grill, bezels and all lenses for a grand total of $25. Got it all together for now and here's a few pics.

Darren Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 a 97+ header panel i had lying around......i wish i had one lying around. Jeep looks killer.
jtdesigns Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I like that tire wheel combo.. What size are they?? You never said did you? 35's??
rredalty Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 You'rs looking at 35x12.5 procomp x-terrains and 15" allied rockathon beadlocks. Also have a matching spare rim and new dunlop mudrover spare tire( No procomp spare b/c they are directionals.)
rredalty Posted December 25, 2008 Author Posted December 25, 2008 Pain in the @$$ but aside from some nit picky things, the BA-trash is out and the AW-4 is in and driving.
rredalty Posted December 31, 2008 Author Posted December 31, 2008 Well I'm going this weekend to grab a set of tons for it. This is going to get interesting... :yes:
rredalty Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 Tires are at home now. Swamper Boggers 39.5x18x16.5. Brand new, still got tits. This is beside Tiffs Jeep on 33"s with 4.5" lift. __________________
rredalty Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 Might as well add that all the parts are here, just need to find the time to get it together. Axles are '03 f-350 tons, D60 front and 10.5" sterling rear. 35 splines f/r rear disk brakes, Miller locked f/r, 5.38's capped off with Solid covers. Also planning to pick up PSC pump, lines and res this weekend. Not sure wether this will get full hydro or just assist. I still want to keep it streetable.
Darren Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 a streetable MJ with 39.5s thats badass. good axle choice.
rredalty Posted February 14, 2009 Author Posted February 14, 2009 Got side tracked but here is the status, Boggers got sold and oredered a new set of 39.5x16.5x17 Pitbull Rockers. BallisticFabrication weld on beadlock rings are on the way. Front bracketry almost finished and close to being welded on, new brake rotors, pads and 4 studs to replace the missing ones. Rear perches, 3.5" u-bolts and .5" spring top plates are here and ready to go on. Tires are getting mounted on new rims tomorrow, also got a PSC pump kit here already with pump, reservoir, hoses and a derale cooler. Tomorrow ordering a PSC 1.75"x 8" assist cylinder with hose kit and the complete box rebuild kit will be at advance auto tomorrow. I also scored some MJ buckets with MJ center console so I'll have the seats recovered and ready to bolt into the new floor in the next few weeks. Interior will be pretty "pimpin" when it's all done but more about that as it comes together.
rredalty Posted February 14, 2009 Author Posted February 14, 2009 Old floor was nothing but rot and I wanted a sturdy base for the cage so I built a set of new floor pans from some leftover 16g steel I had.
rredalty Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 PSC steering pump/ res/ cooler and lines are here and the assist parts will be here thur. Got the box rebuilt/ drilled and tapped today and the rear is in... Does this make my @$$ look big...?
WahooSteeler Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Nice work, killer truck. I'm sure the neighbors love you LOL :yes:
reson46 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Very cool. Nothing wrong with big butts. More pics please. :thumbsup: Willy
rredalty Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 Got most of the bracketry welded on tonight (until I ran out of gas) aside from the upper mount, trac bar mount and the hydro assist tabs. going to try to get the rest of the welding done tomorrow and have it on its own weight.
rredalty Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 Bear with me, the trac bar isn't mounted yet and the body has relaxed downhill to the driverside. Also ordered a custom shaft from Tom Woods today to adapt from the 1310 SYE to the 1410 Sterling rear.
rredalty Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 New t-case is in, driveshafts are hooked up front and rear, steering linkages are done and installed, coils are in the final position, front shock mounts are done, beadlock rings are in hand, beadlock hardware and cage tubing will be here friday. It moved...
Darren Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 what is the outside width on the front end. (from the outside of one tire to the other.) I'm just curious.
rredalty Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 right about 87" without the weld on beadlocks( about 5" too wide for my trailor)
