It sits level

[Ry' N Jen]

Thats beautiful work you guy's are doing there!

Did you do anything to prevent rust on-in the uni-body"frame" ?

 

[tjkj2002]

Hate to ask, but what are you doing about a parking brake?

I changed out the drum parking brake cables for disc brake cables that will mount right up to the parking brakes on the RockJock60.

Did you do anything to prevent rust on-in the uni-body"frame" ?

Lots of rubberized undercoating.

 

[JeepJeepster]

Sure is a lot of bolts! Bet all of that really made the frame stronger!

Will there be a need for rocker rails?

Yeah been slacking a bit,some pics will follow sometime next week.Got all the mounts welded on the RockJock and just finished painting it about 30mins ago(hopefully installing tuesday).The passenger side frame stiffiner is all bolted in and the rear trackbar mount is made and mounted on the unibody in the rear,hopefully the rear trackbar will be machined by tuesday.As soon as the axle is in we can re-mount the upper coil buckets and then we can get it off the jack stands and get the measurement for the front/rear driveshafts.Then all the fun begins with finishing all the little junk that seems to take forever.

Some new pics.....................

That is one sweet KJ you got there Troy!

What kind of paint did you use to paint the rear Axel?
Or did you have them powder coated?

The most amazing display of ingenuity on a KJ I've ever seen. Top notch. Brilliant. Truly this is some of the sexiest Jeep **** in existence... AND ITS NOT EVEN DONE YET!

 

[ridenby]

Wow

 

[Spidey]

Simply amazing work!

 

[tjkj2002]

Well some more progress.....................

It is sitting on it's own weight and off the jack stands(for the time being).........................

Sadly the trackbar that has held up progress got messed up during machining and thought to be savable but not so much so another trackbar has to be machined.But at least we got the correct measurement for the rear driveshaft but waiting on the slip joints for those also

.So maybe sometime in the next decade it will be rolling.

Oh below is just a shot of the twin sticks,got to find a fabric place to make a twin stick boot but for the time being it will work like in the pic.

How tall is it?

 

[tjkj2002]

How tall is it?

Funny you mentioned that since I did measure it and planned on measuring my carport height(which I just ran out and measured since I forgot).As long as Marty's lopsided driveway gave me a somewhat accurate # I will have exactly 1/8" clearance,the KJ measured at 89 7/8" and my carport is 90" even.

 

[LibertyOrDeath]

Holy crap. 7.5 Feet tall.
