Next step was to get in her in the garage:





Then I began to dig in:





The old jeep came in handy:

Subscribed. Cool build.

Very cool list of parts. Should be awesome finished up.

I always wondered what they did with the 2wd models for the front suspension.

 

[Mizippi]

In the spirit of full disclosure the goal of the next step for me was to dive in and start a personal journey of being able to do more myself.

Next went in the rear:





No real issues there, but the UD60 does require longer emergency brake lines:



Next the front went in:



A gain no real issue, but it turns out that the tie rod I ordered was too long. The XD60 needs one so short we couldn't find it anywhere but through dynatrac:



So I had to get creative until the new one came in because I wanted it out of the garage (milestone)



It worked

Now she needed some wheels:





I really liked that rib the Nittos had for the beadlocks to tuck into. So now it was out of the garage:



And off to get everything under the hood and the long arms welded in



More soon

Either this build is going extremely fast, or it's already done and you're teasing us along the way! I'm kinda ok with both.

I was thinking the same thing. It's been what? A day or two? Haha

Awesome build thread though!

Just so satisfying to see a poor 2wd turn into the hulk.

 

[Mizippi]

I started a couple of months ago. Just didn't have time to load all pics at once. Basically caught up now

Seems like such a smart way to do a build, I apologize for asking but what does a 2wd with 185k miles sell for?

 

[Mizippi]

$8500....then sold the hardtop and some odds and ends. It was this or a 2012-4 with a supercharger. This seemed like more fun.

Edited the build list to clarify items that were questioned.

They also cranked the hemi live on Facebook this week!

This is what I tell my wife:
