The engine might have to get moved to the passenger side or build a tube frame from the engine back to get enough room for the front driveshaft.

Does that account for the extra lift it will have after the coilovers and 37s?

I'm going to have to see once I get the transfer case in. The clearance between the frame rail and transmission pan is pretty tight.

I took a brake from the drive line and made a stand for my tubing bender out of the old role cage.

I got my transfer case bolted up to my transmission, it was a pain. I had to remove both exhaust pipes and cut a bracket off the frame. I need to make a cross member for the transmission and a mounting bracket for the transfer case. Next will be cutting the tub and frame to get ready to start mocking up the rear axle for control arms and coilovers.

Worked a little more. The starter got put back in and I took out the rear seat.

Took the gas tank out and removed all the wiring from the back half of the tub.

. I taped off the section of tub that I need cut off and made a cut before I had to stop.

. I've been finding wasps every now and then while working. Gotta love older vehicles that sat outside for summer.

That's got to be exciting and nerve racking cutting the back half of that jeep off. Good luck!

There was definitely a moment of hesitation and cringing when I started to cut l Iol.

I cut through but missed a couple tub mounts, I plan on getting them later tonight.

No turning back now. The back half is off. More still need to be cut off, but smaller pieces will be more manageable.
