Out WHIT the old YJ- Brink Fab Build Thread
« on: January 01, 2009, 04:00:43 PM »
Here's the latest work in the shop.  It's Whit's YJ or what's left of it.  It certainly won't be the same jeep when it goes back out.

Plans include:

Built Currie 9+ rear axle
Built Spidertrax 609 Front
Coilovers all around
Custom long arm suspensions
41" Iroks
18" Poison Spider Aluminum Beadlock Rims
Stretched wheelbase front and rear
Full Hydro Steering with 50deg of turning
Yes...... that said 50 deg of turning  :shock:
High Clearance front tube fenders
Full Steel Tube Flares
Rockers
Rear corner guards
Crawler Gas tank
Front and rear custom sway-bars
Cage work
Front bumper
Rear bumper with swing out or fold down tire carrier


Plus all the stuff I'm forgetting I'm sure.....


The new work area....much better!!   8)


Crawler tank next to the old tank.  Much smaller to allow the axle to slide back for the rear stretch....


Installed....





Rear Corners....


Come sized for a 35.....bolt on is hardly ever bolt on   :evil:





Cut up the jeep...



Sized for 41's now...


Rocker modded to match...


Mounted up...


Started mounting tires to rims...

All brackets are now made 100% in house.  DIY parts and 4 link kits are available in addition to my own installed work now.


Lower control arm/coilover mounts are done....

Hey I will be coming over this weekend for sure. Beer and metal go together oh so well.
Could you PM me with your new address so I can Google it for directions.
Why does your Jeep say Toyota on it?
The obstacle is the path.
