seriously whats the difference? unless you plan on regearing yourself, which i guarantee he isn't there really is no difference from building an axle on jackstands compared to sitting underneath a jeep

It is much easier gearing with the axle out from under the jeep.

but its sooooo hard to undo u-bolts and some other nic-nacs....

did you not read what you quoted? i didn't think he was gearing himself, so it didn't make a difference, either way he un-bolts a couple u-bolts and bingo shit is out


personally i think most of your are fucking splitting hairs with this build, he's getting shit done let him do what he wants to do, who the fuck cares if he does the work with the axles underneath his rig or not

it's going to get wheeled once in about 2 weeks, then it's going to sit all summer(i have to go to AIT for 10 weeks) then i'm bringing down to flordia and will work on it down in spare time (going to college in FL grandparents have a house with a GIANT garage)

and i do know how to do gears so when i do it i will be doing to myself

i stand corrected

[Jeepbonehead]

i had the local town machinist teach me

[Jeepbonehead]

Whats done as of yesterday, i have most everything together and notched( yes i know it's ducktaped together but thats just for mock up and fitment)
List to get done today/tomarrow:
windshield bar w/ windshield down tubes
rear diagonal tubes
upper front diagonal tubes
rear left vertical


The tube vertical in the rear in this pic is just there to hold up the other tube it is NOT part of the cage

[Jeepbonehead]

also i already cut and set up a X that is in the b pillar it's just not in there right now

[OWEN]

i heard you don't even need to weld cages anymore, just leave the duct tape



and wtf is up with your paint job mate, did you bedline the entire jeep or something?

[Jeepbonehead]

yeah the rear corners got bedlining just because there going to get covered in 3/16

[Jeepbonehead]

welding the cage tomarrow, also ordered some cragar nomads until i can get my bead locks set up correctly(bought new rims because i actually want to go wheeling before i leave for army/college, and i don;t have the time to fix my rims right now)

[Jeepbonehead]

will get picks soon did most of the tack welding and fitment today i have about 6-8 tubes to finish tomarrow and i will thel pull it weld it all up paint it and put it back it, i also just got my front drive shaft back, cut my u-bolts, bought real u-bolt paltes and new u-bolts, and removed my ugly ass tinfoil fenders, and bought a sheet pf 3/16 steel to make some crucher corners and tube fenders with
