    That's cool! Thanx Mike, but I was hoping for the "other" number. I mean, my '62 CJ-5 is a 57548 (not the 8305) & I was wondering if it were a '62 CJ-6 what it would have been. I hate to admit it, but in order to put the NV4500 in I got a hold of a CJ-6 fiberglass tub (etc.). I was just wondering how much trouble I'll be in when my "5" becomes a "6". I've got bigger plans than that, but that all belongs on another post. Besides, at the rate I'm going I'll have to retire before I have enough time to work on it :cry:

    :rofl: Don't get me started!!! I bought the body over 5 years ago. The top a year after that. The tranny was bought about 3 years ago. Etc., etc., bla, bla, bla.........I have nearly all the parts now except for the rear suspension & some of the Dana 60 stuff. The rear suspension will be the same as the front....3/4 ton Dodge coils & links........sort of heavy duty TJ stuff.........with some mods for ground clearance.

    So what's slowing me down? Got married & had two kids at the same time that work went thru the roof. Any of those events were no prob, but all 3 at the same time don't leave much time for wrenchin' on my stuff. It's still continuing, but I'm fighting back! :beer:

    Oh, I might add that it seems that my (current) short wheelbase combined with the 14.5" swampers give great flotation, but seem to handi-cap me on anything that goes up. I think this additional 16 or 18" of wheelbase (not 20"; I did say there were some mods to the suspension, right?) will help alot here. I see your picture has the long TJ. I've been teased about this project ever since that thing showed up in the sneak previews. In fact, my boss has one. But what's the fun in that!?! I gotta BUILD sumpin'! Real Jeeps are built, not bought! :flag:

    :rofl: i need help :(
