Just a quick picture update with a few Qs:

Too tall for these 285/75/r16? I could still drop another 2 inches from the body lift currently on there but that might give me some clearance issues with the jeep xj steering gearbox i adapted but not the end of the world.

The main reason im doing all this is because it was a PITA to change the oil pan gasket before hahahaha .... It would now be a 20 minute job!

Swapped the crappy km145 for an early gen2 4speed auto along with an np231.... Not the best case in the world but 2.72:1 is still a bit better.

Anyone know which junkyard steering pump i can use to go along with my xj box? It would have to be one with the same belt style.

Gonna do flex testing soon to measure for front driveshaft slip, shock length and brake hoses lengths.

Still lots of work to do. Im sure my stock brake booster master cyl combo wont be enough for these dana 44 brakes so ill handle that later. Anyone know solutions to that? Would be greatly appreciated.

Im open and would really appreciate any constructive criticism!

Cant wait to wheel this baby witht he new tcase gearing and both diff locks engaged! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
