Thanks buddy. Got a long way to go but getting a little done each day. The axles are almost ready for final welding. Off all this coming week and plan on working on the old girl as much as I can.

Got the rear anti-wrap bar all fabed up. Also went and spent a small fortune on brake line components today. Sorry no pictures of that.
Looking good Broham!!!

I made everything but the sleeves for the brackets on the axle. I had those already from my ruff stuff SOA kit. Ordered the heim from my parts supplier here in town.
Thanks buddy, its getting there slowly
Looks good Ryan, did you use dom tubing for the crossmember? Hopefully I will be installing a track bar soon, I went wheeling the other weekend and had to torque up some obstacles and was worried about blowing a pinion.. Having the bar will definitely make me more comfortable.

Yes Sir, DOM tubing for the cross member and the links. Can't wait to start wheeling mine
Sweet, I might have to copy your design if you don't mind... How much do you have left till it's running?

I don't mind if you copy, I got the idea from someone else. Still have a way to go before it is back running. Getting there slowly.

Little bit of an update:
Got the axles and brackets all welded up. Waiting to get them powdercoated. Been trying to get some of the body work done. Picked up a passenger front door and a upper rear hatch. Very little rust on either one, just some surface rust. Getting all of the dents pulled out of the lower hatch at a buddies house and getting it in primer. No pictures to update this but there will be more to come. Its just been slow going right now as things have changed at work.

Keep plugging away at it. You'll be cruising in no time.

Thanks buddy, things are slowly coming together. Trying to find a few parts that I would like to get. I'm looking for a used safari snorkel to put on. So if you or anybody has one let me know. The new ones are too expensive for me, but a good used one would work out great.

Been working on the body, trying to get some of that done. Had to drive to Kentucky for a new passengers front door and an upper rear hatch. Mine were too gone. Hopefully next week I'll start on the sliders. Here are a few pics of the body work.
Got the patch panel cut out of my donor piece but haven't gotten it welded in yet.

Thanks, its getting there slowly but its getting there. How is your your 60 doing?
Mine's good. It's finally at a point where I can take it on a few hours drive without worrying about it. I'm taking a break from buying more parts for a few weeks to save some money.

Got the patch panel tacked in. Taking it nice and slow so as not to warp the metal. Throw a few tacks down and let it cool. While letting it cool, decided to make a patch piece for the lower portion of the drivers fender
