Someone had ask me to post what I have done to my jeep. I didn’t take much pictures but I’ll post up what I have.

My jeep build started last year in August after I broke a rear driveline u joint. I was going to get a new driveline and decided to stretch the wheelbase using dodge dakota rear springs in reverse for a 10" stretch. Stretching the wheelbase meant relocating the gas tank and air tank. I bought a fuel cell so I don’t have to move the rear seat.

While my jeep was still undergoing surgery I found a good deal on a klune, np205 t-case, and a rear disk brake kit with no e-brake.

Since I don’t have e-brake I decided to get a driveline e-brake kit from high angle.

I had to extend my muffler to fit.

Now I need an axle wrap bar. I didn’t like the ladder type bar because they limit flex on one side of the axle so I decided to do my on slip type axle wrap bar on top of the differential, right above the driveline.

I also found a hp d60 that I could not past up on.

I got some WFO high steer arm with the tie rod behind the axle, tie rod, and drag link with one ton chevy tie rod ends.

I tapped my steering box, got a ram and set it up for hydrolic assist steering.

There was no place to mount my rear shocks. The only way was through the tub so I had to move the rear seat and fuel cell. Since I was removing the rear seat I decided to use my gas tank because it is bigger.

I made a basket on top of the shock and gas tank so I can carry my stuff.

I did some little do-dads to keep my jeep street legal.

I found this winch the other day to replace my old winch. Wow really fast.

As of now, this is how my jeep stands.
