Your post just popped up and it reminds me I need to get back to work! https://www.therangerstation.com/forums/index.php?threads/chopped-top-b2-on-wagoneer-chassis.200373/

zeak?

Sandman, that was a good overview, thanks. I'm always in favor of a bit over overkill so a 12K winch seems right for me :-)

I want to use a Rhino type lining on the bottom rocker panels, there are several different brands. Does anyone have experience between the different brands?

So I temporarily bolted my trailer winch to the front bumper to load it on the tow dolly. I need to buy a dedicated winch for it, any recommendations?

Windshield is in...

Have you ever been building brake lines and forget to put the nut on the end before double flaring the line? Yeah, me neither.

And closer still...

Getting closer...

This is the new transmission cross member. Each side sticks out real far right now as I'm considering using it to also support side steps. If that idea later sucks I'll cut them down.

Yes, that is a 229 T-case. Is there something I should know about clocking it down? Am I going to have lubrication problems?

I also installed a clocking ring to rotate the transfer case down a bit... right into the transmission cross-brace. So I had to discard the old one and make a new one that sits lower with a higher perch.

I now need to address the front drive shaft issue. It's too short now. I'm thinking of just buying a longer slip yoke. The oem piece is 7" long. I haven't found a shop that sells longer ones, anyone know of where I can order one?

The exhaust down tubes had those crappy crushed bends and I couldn't stand looking at them so I cut them out and welded in mandrel bends...

Thanks for the Jegs tip, I'll probably buy their kit then expand from that.

So I can build my own roll cage or hit the easy button and order one... does anyone have any suggestions?

I had watched some videos where the underbodies of a Porsche, an Audi and an old Ranger were dry ice blasted and I was impressed. Those cars had a lot of grime and crud that didn't wash off in the video but came right off with the dry ice blasting so I was excited to have it done. Not even half...

If anyone has any specific questions I'd be happy to answer.

Another view coming home.

Muffler is 3" in, two 2.5" out. A new 3" CAT was installed too.
