Brown Santa came to see me yesterday! Hopefully I have some time this weekend to get things lined up. My Jeep is having some sort of electrical issues right now. It will start then, die after a few seconds. That is first on the list but, these bad boys are next.

Do people just rattle can these bad boys when everything is all said and done. Surely you can't bake them with the seals and such in them..

Alright, finally have some time off tomorrow! I am hoping to get the old axles out, the new ones mocked up, and the trusses welded on. Pictures to come!!

The rear is in!! The brakes on the 10.5 were ran off one line that split at a T to each rear caliper. I need to figure out how that will work and it'll be on to the front!

You can't just take that line and connectors off the calipers and hook up the stock jeep lines to the calipers? Don't think it's mandatory to use the lines that came on it. Ask Invest. He just put the same rear axle in.c

I "flexed" the rear end I found that the corner of the fuel tank is going to contact the axle quite a bit. Does anyone know if a 2 door tank would work, or am I looking at a fuel cell for an answer?

While I ponder the fuel tank issue, I have pulled the front axle and almost have all of the brackets on the D60.

I have heard that the 2door tank works. Check out invest or maertz build. Invest I believe is going custom but I have heard that the two door tank does work but obviously the down side is less capacity
