Those oris in the rear are new, The set I am using in the front I used in my wrangler for 6 months... Loved them so much I had to have them for all fours for the buggy... So I put all the fox airs I had for this build on my jeep and are going to have all oris.

I really like them.. I have a nitro tank I can take wheeling and if I need a little extra ground clearance I can lift them. When I got places that have alot of climbs but not much for breakover I can drop it if I want, I can tune the rebound on the fly with a screwdriver. And the thing I like the most is their clean, no additional bumps needed and no swaybars needed.

Well I was really disappointed in the lack of work I got done over the Holiday but here is what I got done. Got the windshield and top center bar of the cage in Got the door way built only took 5 tries to get 2 right... LOL a lesson to be learned dont work tired. Tried three times last night and couldnt get it right got it right the first two times today... and finally found a way to reinforce the bpillar that I liked the looks of ... I am not sure if I like the support I have taped in the front of the bpillar ... have to keep playin with it.

nice work,,looks clean,,wanna trade axles?lol sure send me your set of super 14 front and rear steering axles and Ill send you my stock junk LOL Thanks Johnny... I think im going to get held up by the salvage yard. When I bought the transmission I didnt realize it because everything was wrapped in plastic but the bell housing and dust shields were missing, so I have been waiting for 6wks for them to get another 4l80e in so they can get me those parts. Once I have those I can build the front suspension and then the front clip. I need to keep moving my dad is putting an offer on some property close by thats going to be incredible wheeling and I got to get my junk done to have something to play in.

Wow, awesome work. I think you're moving pretty fast on this. I've done enough tube work to know it takes a long time thinking about how you want it to look and then more time to get it that way. Keep up the good work.

Thanks guys.. yea some of this tube work takes forever mainly to find what looks good and to run bracing which I am dreading... LOL ...black tape has become my new best friend... Since I am usually in the shop by my self I use it to hold things in place so I can stand back and look to see how I like it, its cheap and works good.

Alright got fired back up this week and got a few hours in the shop... Started off by building the front lower four link bracket, its made out of 2in .250 wall dom and the tcase xmember made out of 1.75 120 wall dom... Then I built a bushing mount out of some 188wall square tubing cut in 1/3 and then tapered out to hold a 2in .250 wall tube with bushing and got the tcase xmember wrapped up and bolted in Then on to the front four link. bot my mount welded in and lower link brackets welded to the axles And started on mocking in the upper links This week I will finish weld the upper and lower control arms Finnish mount the uppers control arms Build and mount the tcase output bushing and brackets And hopefully start designing the front clip

Thanks MS! I have been racking my brain trying to come up with something that will compliment the front in a similar way but I think it wont come together till I start bending stuff and putting it up... Unfortunately I have to finish my four link and get my radiator alternator and ps pump mounted up first...
