SO.. was doing some figuring today.. talkin to a couple friends on the phone.. then i got to thinkin so i made a few mock control arms for the front.. i started with a 43" long lower than took 70% of that to make my upper with came out to be 30".. i was lookin at them for placement and oil pan, starter and driveshaft clearance and it looks like i've got TONS of room for a double triangulated front.. this is awesome because no need for a track bar!!!! and its alot stronger than my original plan of a 3 link.. we'll see how it turns out..

whata you guys mean by subcribing???
i got the motor mount all bent up for the 2nd time haha but i should have that all welded in by tonight and possibly have the rolly cart relocated to the frame..
then i can start strengthening the floor and get it bolted together..
to much crap to do at once at this point lol

heres some more pics.. where did i leave off?? looks like the floor..
how many rear dovetailed XJ's have you guys seen??

PLAN:
cut reliefs in the body lines to allow it to fold in.. im looking for about a foot on each side..
enjoy..
This is the first attempt i did, i had to cut more than i wanted to but it came out pretty good..




This is the 2nd attempt.. came out PERFECT!!!




Now i know what your going to ask... are you going to put some kind of tailgate on the back..
the answer is yes..
it will consist of tubing =p
