That's Awesome Rob!!

A few questions for ya.

Structurally why no rear crossmember, or yall not done yet?

What'd you do with the fuel tank? (my only reason for not doing this mod)

What are your specs? tires, axles, etc?
It looks big for rubi dana 44's If I read the thread right.

Suspension?
I know it RK 7.0 stretch, but anything different or extra? Like steering, track bar, etc

Thanks

Rear got a 2x4 cap on it for a new rear crossmember.

Custome fuel cell that was in the Jeep. A bunch of people just move the tank to the tub.

D44's 30 spline chromo shafts in the front. 33 spline in the back after moab. 38" tires. I will be looking for some 37 comps when I get back. The 44's should hold up fine. Most of the guys I run with have 44's and comps and do ok.

Tera flex high steer knuckle other than that its just a RK kit.

Unfortunately I can't put anything in the back b/c of the kiddos.

33 spline, assuming you've upgraded the crappy factory locker for a detroit.

Comps? If I'm correct that's a maxxis tire

(Tera knucles) With custom high steer?

Thanks for the replies, yall have some phenomenal rides out there

Comps can be any soft rubber. My look at the new MTR comps

The steering is just RK stock stuff.

It's not exactly RK stock stuff. There are some custom spacers in the knuckle to get everything to fit correctly and the correct drag link had to be used or it wouldn't be right.

So I just got th Jeep back from the police. I called Joe at the shop and we talked about a few ideas. Joe asked if the Vin tag was still on the tub. So I pull over and lift up the carpet and what do you know... There is another vin tag. There is also a vin tag on the tailgate. There are a few vin numbers that I have found with Joes help... I will go down to a new DMV on Sat after work and see if I can get a good person and get me a title... If not I may drive to CA to see if I can get a title in my name.

And release.......
Man I was holding that too long. ;)
So glad Bob. So glad.

See it at the party tomorrow?
Cali's not so bad.

Nice work brotha. There is honestly like 5 or more places on a jeep where the VIN is. I don't know why the hell they are buggin about the one on the frame. I'm sure you'll have better luck at a different MVD. I've had good luck with the one over off Baseline and like Central.

what about those private owned places that issue titles on behalf of the dmv

I'm not sure if those do any kind of inspections of the vehicle.

they only do title & tag stuff

Even though it's the Moab gettin' ready party, can Sc00by come?

I miss him and I hear rumor that XJ runs again. :clap:

I was hoping to "suprise" the group & show up... but due to THIS its now defentaly NOT gonna happen...
in fact our yearly Utah trip is now out of the picture as well :'(

I just wanted to post what still needs done.

Tires- Im going ot be street driving for a little while. Need some new rubber.
Rear shafts- Need to get some.
Rear locker- looking at a mini spool. I will just use the rubi locker up front.
Driveshaft- Need a new front.
Tune Up- Yeah... Kinda need that.
Plates- I just need to get a bonded title.

Who has 2-3K I could have??? :clap:

I have a plan. I have a chance at OT. I should have a wheeling Heep before the end of the year.

Sounds like a dang good plan. Now just stick to it.

I still pay homage to this build every once in a while: http://higherground4x4.com/Project_phoenix.htm
