Any bracing or support planned for the steering box?From the pictures provided it looks like with serious off-road use it will end up flapping in the wind. http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/Syne...00-p-29632.html

It's not finished yet, I just wanted to get it in position. I will build a box to house the tubes for the lower mounts.

Fuel tank is mounted.

The fuel tank is a CJ7 15 gallon poly tank, I will be switching it to a Pre-'80 tank in order to get the larger inlet which will be needed for the output of the diesel pumps.

The skid plate is from Max-Bilt, I actually mounted it backwards so that the high bolts are in the rear.

I still need to do some finish welding on the bottom, but that will wait until I have all of the stuff mounted from the top that required the axles to be in place for mock up.

That should do 30+ mpg especially if you put on an air to air aftercooler and gear it accordingly.

It will have a small intercooler in front of the radiator and the axles have 4.10 gears with 37" tires, plus the tranny has overdrive.

I finished boxing the step in the frame... it won't be flexing here

"A smart fellow could put his knee up on such a step."

Shock towers came in from RuffStuff. I will hold off on welding them on until after the body is on and the nose is positioned.

I finished making the outside rear bumper reinforcements, I had to keep them a little narrow to fit within the qtr panels

I also made the rear shock crossmember

that is some nice fab work

Thank you

Fabricating the lower steering box mounts

And some plate to make it purdy

and welded

Frame is now upright and ready to start assembling and painting as I go (with brush on paint)
