Still working on the ol girl. Grabbing parts here and there. Splurged on the ballistic sale and black friday. Sucks they're going out of business. Have all my joints now, running combo of summit machine and ballistic.Got a gas tank skid, just had the ARB machined for the jana54 kit. Have a good chunk of parts to get this ready to get built. Still need a lot but getting there.

I didnt know balistic fab was closed until I saw your post. I've bought random items from them over the years and never had an issue.

Yeah huge bummer. I had some of their joints and snagged some more and a few other things.

Starting to make moves on this thing. Spending waaaayyyy too much money and one thing lead to another. At the point now I'm about ready to throw in on jack stands on let the mayhem begin very soon. 

 

Started cleaning up axles chopping old stuff on to test fit trusses and rotate the inner cs. Prayed to the jeep gods in a multitude of swear words and was rewarded.  Got a brand new atlas albeit set up for a XJ, I know I'll need to swap out the input shaft, shifters and yokes but couldn't pass it up for the price. Really wanted to keep the 242HD but with tom woods no longer making a SYE for only option was a built 242j and cost was more than than the atlas was. 

 

Never done a build of this magnitude. Done basic stuff but this is a whole new world.

Cleaned up the axles some more and test fitted the rear truss.
