Got my rod ends in on friday, they are HUGE...only thing about them is that they have quite a few nicks on the threads, but I can fix those...

heres some of the nics

**JeepRocks86** · 03-22-2009, 09:16 PM

are you going to use a thread restorer or just use the jam nut to repair the nicks?

Tikitgvr · 03-25-2009, 04:46 AM

Jam nuts...

Tikitgvr · 04-23-2009, 09:39 PM

Well I got some new, not so bling, bling in today.... 2 of my coilovers from F-O-A came in. 16" triple rates.. Will probably order 2 more this weekend when my tubing bender sales...They are beefy as hell, and I have heard nothing but good things, so I can wait to try them out... I could not see spending the ridiculous amount for the other brands..

Well, I got some more goodies in today from Ballistic Fab. I have to say, this stuff is beefy as hell and heavy. Not the best looking stuff, but also not the most expensive out there either. Kinda like the FOA coilovers I got, they arent fancy, but they work and are cost effective...

Anyways here are the D60 arms:

Upper and lower link frame end brackets:

Coilover brackets:

And the D60 truss and diff cover. This thing is HEAVY, not to impressed with the fitment though. The ring and diff cover itself does not line up real good at all because of it not being a straight consistant edge, leaves a hole at the top and bottom between the cover and ring that will take a considerable amount of welding to fill in. For what this cost, I thought it would be a little better than it is. The lines running angled to the right between the skull and plug, and the plug and edge are actual gouges like someone took a grinder wheel and ran it across there. There are a few other areas on it that are gashed also:

Well, a friend came over yesterday and we started on a tranny mount and it was finished today.

Before we could do anything, we slapped the Atlas on, but before we could do that, we needed to modify the jeep so the atlas would work:

This is what we started with...$60 from Advance adapters. It had to be modified to work with the mount we built.

Here is the begining of the mount. This, and the black mount from AA we nicknamed the mystery box lol...

Then we started on the arms to mount it to the frame, which are made from 21/2"x21/2"x.25" wall square tubing. We started on the front output side first.

Rear view

Then the driver side came togther, this is it minus the passenger piece that is welded to the frame.

Finally complete and installed in the jeep.

Well, after flip flopping a hundred times from jeep to buggy and to jeep, I finally made a decision. I decided to go ahead and have some of both worlds and do a Juggy. He are a few pics of what we did. First pic is a buddy of mine going at the jeep with a sawzall. Then the start of my cage. I decided to go ahead and remove the dash to do the a pillar and will reinstall it afterwards. I also bought some after market gauges for the dash that I am waiting on.

Well, I got me some new bling today...... I had a guy trade me striaght across, a set of steering rockwells, for a set of tons. As you can see, rocks are already mohawked and have pinion brakes set up on them. The hidden fact is that they are also spooled front and rear. The other thing is he traded me the 4 MRW beadlocks with the rock rings already on them for my stock 8 bolt H1's. These came with some pvc inserts that he said are for them being double beadlocks. I looked at them, but without breaking them down, I can not tell but it doesnt look like they are. If so, then even better.
