    Holy cow, that lift is the exact lift my buddy is doing (Jeepaholic on here) he is using an 360/NP435 and a D18 or D300

    though he is going to have a 9" rear and 44 front.

    Looking good

    Started the Brake booster/MC and clutch MC install this weekend. Both are out of a 5spd XJ. Also got most of the steering done..not sure if I like the way it is now...Still have to mount the box so I can adjust it a little still...

    is the MC aiming down slightly? Looks like it is in the pic. But good job.

    When you enlarged your rear wheel wells, did you just cut them an leave the flat edge or did you bend a lip for strength? I think i have to enlarge my rear opening, and i want to know how to cut it and put a lip like stock.

    Its going down jsut a little right now....once I tighten the top bolts on the pedal side up it'll back up.......hopefully :)

    For the rear lip, its just a flat edge right now, Not sure if Im going to add a lip to it yet or not. It seems to be plenty sturdy due to the braces that were already in there.

    I should have it back apart this week/weekend and I'll snap a couple pics.



    Got some sheetmetal tacked in the floorboards. Once the engine is out I need to add a piece or two and finish welding them in, so I can herculin over the floor.
