If i am reading this right your wanting to run your upper arms with the frame side together and the axle end spread out? If this is correct, I would advise against it. This will not give the car a good ride at all. You will fight the geometry all the way It is completely backwards by...

Lets get some opinions. i am working with the cut off remains of a dana 44 8 lug axle. I dont know if i should try and square out what i have or ditch the knuckles and try to remake my own. I can get to a laser cutter and can weld up my own axle based on basic geometry...but am trying to...

this is the latest photo i have taken, but things have changed since then even. The tires are 31x9 on a 16" split wheel and frankly look cool as hell. This was a deal i still cant believe i found. They fit perfect, are the size i was looking for, have that narrow mud profile and came mounted and...

14 bolt was a tight fit but it will work under there. I looked all over the place for a cheap cheap one in good shape but all i could find were duallies and non ff axles so decided to use one i had started to build for a rock buggy i put on hold...even cheaper for me. I have the suspension...

so i am doing some updating on this forgotten thread. It doesnt show pictures any more so i dont know where i left off. But over the past few months i have managed to get the floors out completely. Lay new frame work for a new floor and fit the body over the frame. I have 2 piece urethane...

I am not sure of your budget but if i had your project in my garage i would lean two ways. First way would be a bit more expensive but way unconventional and something i have yet to see....mazda rotary.....but that does involve all the computers and censors and vacuums and crap....the other...

welcome from the other side of Colorado. I Make it to pueblo once a year at least for a few days to a week for some serious fishing in pueblo reservoir, id love to hook up with you and check this thing out. Wont be until the summer but would still be pretty cool. Ill be watching this build.

so i have read back on a couple things and saw a couple photos, who let me use the computer after a few drinks? yikes. Ok seriously, sorry about the bad photos, i am a great photographer in real life, semi pro bla bla bla. I just get focused on my build and dont like to stop and take photos...

well put, anything safety wise, i go with proven strong material. Its simply safer. I would also rather take the time making something safe just appear scary and dangerous, having peace of mind its safe. Not worth the risk for me or others out there.

be different lol go rotary light weight plenty of power lol just kidding. i am a fan of the classic number one...sbc easy to fix parts are more than readily available and super cheap to get tons of power. thats my .02

ya i already have my eyes on a set of wheels there. Thats down the road for now i am sticking to dirt cheap or, preferred, free, at least for now while i mockup everything and see how its going to fit

Ive got an electric golf cart I can rob the rear end and tires from, errr wait...ummmm...where do all the batteries go? may i should call the pu...i mean...cats at prius? Or i have this approach.....I love things that are skinny as much as the next guy, but every once in a while, only a fatty...

i love these style bodies. Ill be watching with great interest. Also love the fab work for the cowl. looks great. Cant wait to see more

small update. I have spent the weekend working on some other things, so progress is not quite where i want it. But i have managed to get the rear all braced up and half the floor cut out. whew what a pain in the a$$ was that. I still have not quite figured out how i am going to do my...

it was posted online for sale as a cj2a but when i started tearing into it the vin plate (or maybe just a serial number plate)was stamped cj3a with all the other factory serial numbers or patent numbers. I have not done any research on it yet. I can post it maybe some one can help me figure...
