    I'm way behind on pics and working on it. Sometimes it seems life gets in the way. I have all of the little stuff worked out. I drove it around the yard and I broke the rear yoke straps within 30 seconds, so I built a ladder bar for the rear. Got a few more kinks worked out, and tore it apart for paint. Tangerine Orange, with a little pearl in the outer clear coat.

    I want that SAME CAGE in my cj. By far my favorit cage I've seen thus far. How wide is that 9 1/4?

    If memory serves me I narrowed it 5 1/4 inches, and I narrowed the front Dana 44 roughly the same. Somewhere in my figuring I didn't realize the Dana 44 front was as much wider that the 9.25 before I did anything. I had to add spacers to the rear to get them to match, but it all works out because I needed that extra little bit to offset the diff. If it's important, I can measure wms to wms for ya.

    No it aint that important, I was just curious becasue I like its stance. I actually am putting the same axles from a '97 dodge in my Sierra in about a week or so.

    I think I'm gonna go play a little at Hardrock Cycle park in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to find out how she does. It's an abandoned limestone quarry that has a few hill climbs and rock gardens. I would like to get the little bugs worked out before I spend the big money to go out of state and stay broke the whole time.
