i've considered it but to let the truth be known the ORIGINAL scumby was a white 84 postal cj-8 right hand drive with a full world cab. so maybe it's more fitting to retain the color. i can still add the scumby decals on this one though. then the half cab would commemorate the second.

So how goes this build?
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

What size tires are you going to run in the TJ when the axles are done?

FWIW, your link requires a login.

Well, I registered back in late June.

I have a user name. I have a password.
I can log on, but only to get a message that I do not have permission to access anything. :(

I guess I have been banned without even making one post. :D

Thanx Al, PM sent.

That sure is a purdy rear axle housing. Still the 8.8?
I screwed up when I did my rear Rubi D44 axle swap, I set up all my angles with the Heep completely empty. Not even a gas tank in it.
By the time I put everything else back on: Full fuel tank, spare tire, recovery bag, tool bag, etc., etc., everything changed, and I had some driveline vibes on the steep uphill climbs my first trip out. Something to watch for on the coil springy TJ's I guess! I'm still a newb and learning as I go. :oops:
