Bare TJ Frame?
Posted: Sun Jul 10, 2016 12:22 pm
Does any one have a bare TJ frame sitting around. I know its a long shot. I'd love to just buy one, but I'm not really in the position to do that right now. I do, however, need access to one to do a little 3D modeling. I'm designing and building suspension for my 5th year project of my Sheetmetal Apprenticeship and I thought it would be pretty cool to go above and beyond and do all my drawing in 3D. The frame, skid, mounts, arms, tubing adapters, jamb nuts, heim joints, axle brackets, trusses, axles, and the whole 9 yards need to be modeled so that it can be viewed and articulated as an assembly. I know there are some drawings of frames out there on the net, but it would be really nice to be able to pull measurements from a straight frame first hand. It would be good practice any way. Not to mention, I don't believe any of the drawings I've seen have all the required information to completely model one. At least not accurately. I don't have the room or time to strip my Jeep down to the frame right now, otherwise it would already be done. If some one has one sitting around ready to be measured though, then it would save me a ton of headaches. I've done quite a bit of searching the vast interweb and every one talks about knowing some one who has a frame all drawn up in solid works, but no one seems to have one as far as I can find. Any way, if any one has a TJ frame that I can have access to, then I'd be greatly appreciative.
