--- Quote from: One-Eye on July 08, 2012, 04:47:10 AM ---So after a couple month break...underway...I FINALLY made some progress. Just have to put the driver side rear on and I am done, well, with the lift at least. Have to redo all the breaks because they are rusted to hell. I have a set of mounted 35x12.50 BFG KM2's coming tomorrow. So close to being rode worthy again. Didn't see anything about the July meeting but I might actualy be there for the August meeting. Who knows!

July meeting was on the 3rd. Glad to hear progress is going well. Looking forward to adding another YJ to the group.
One-Eye:
Part of the lift done. You can see the difference between the front and rear.
and here it is all done. Just need new brake lines.

I guess I have to update my profile pic now.

Looks Good. I love seeing old YJ's out on the trail. ;)
I am not sure what rear axle you are planning, but Rock and I both did the 8.8 swap. Also, you will probably need to trim the rear wheel well. If you go with TJ flares it will be close. I took about 2" out the rear half of the wheel well, but I am running Xenon TJ style flares made for a YJ. I also had to take about 1.5" out if the front fenders. I have the R.E.X.D. 4.5" lift and a 1" BL with 35's and I have the stock bump stops.
One-Eye:
Yeah, I noticed that once I got the rear tires under it that they were going to rub a bit. That will be one of the next things to take care of. As for the axles, I have two Dana 44's (front and rear) from an 89 Wagoneer sitting in the garage waiting to get fixed up. I think I will be ok with those and teh 35's. Couldn't complain for $400.
