Not yet Tim, I have some loose ends to tie up first but its getting close. I just pulled the rear axle back out today for sandblasting then I can have Kenny weld on the perches. I will be doing the ring and pinion and otk steering in the front this weekend. Its getting down to a short list now. Derickw I looked at a bunch of different coilover kits. RockKrawlers was imo the best designed from an install perspective. Everything was well thoughout and setup with jigs. I had enough work to do "engineering" everything else on this, I really didn't have a lot of time to design a builders type kit like genright and others.

It's finally done!!!!
Went out with the wm4x4 guys yesterday for a shakedown run and everything worked fine. It is definately a different animal though. It's a little bit high in the front but I'll be able to adjust that with the coilovers. So far so good. I'll get some more build pics up soon but here's one from yesterday.

Yes I brought it to work the other day to get some miles on it before the weekend. I was bombing around your neighborhood the other night but didn't know exactly what street you were on.

Prospect. Top of mechanic to the right.  CJ is in the top driveway.  Not usually home after 5pm as I am in school at WSC but on the weekends drop by whenever the durango is in the yard.  Looked good on the road.  Holy Freaking Height Batman!!!

whats with the rear flares???
You prepping for a comp cut or did one snap ?
curious as it looks like it was done on purpose

The yj flares rubed when I added the original lift and 35s, then I stretched it back another 3" on the new frame. I didn't want to comp cut it so I could still street drive it without much hassle. I haven't decided exactly what I'm going to do with that part yet.
