I noticed in some of your pics that there are leaves under the rear.  Is this the setup?

So what exactly are your plans?  I see that you are putting a fuel cell in, but why did you cut the floor open, instead of just putting it on top of the floor.  Are you swapping axles or just stretching the wheelbase?  Just curious.

We cut the floor to raise the factory tank 6" and then we will raise the rear seat 2.5". The fuel cell will be covered so no fumes will get inside when the top is on.
We put a 14 bolt rear and a 44 front driven by a 5.7 tuneport and a twin stick 205.
We streched her out to 109"  and running

So basically, you were going to raise the tank and then decided to go to a cell?  I am confused as to how that works because I tucked my tank 3 inches and only raised the floor 2" to make it all fit with a 1" body lift.  What are the dimensions of the cell?

We put a 14 bolt rear and a 44 front driven by a 5.7 tuneport and a twin stick 205.

Saw the motor in the pics and it looks like an old block with the TPI intake.  Geoff tried to sell me that too but I stuck with my TBI stuff that I had.  Should run good if it doesn't catch ... uh nevermind LOL.   What tranny? Why the 205?

We streched her out to 109"  and running

109" on leaves or are you going to put coils under it.  Hydro steering?  I can't figure the math on this.  Stock YJ is 93" so you stretched the back about 6" (guesstimate to your pics)  how is the front setup with a 4" stretch?  You are going to have to move the steering behind the axle.  Ask me how I know - I am doing SOA SR on mine and it can't go too far out without hydro.  Have you mocked the steering up?  


Sorry that I have so many questions but I have been looking at ALL your pics and am trying to figure it all out.  I have had many discussions about wheelbase and setups.  We have guys in the club at 103" and they do real good on 42's.  You are going to be running 37's best I understand and it seems like that may be a little long for 37's.  My .02.  Keep taking pictures.

Better get to shaving that 14 bolt.  I've run those axles with same size tires.  If you don't shave it you'll be hung up on it.  They make a nice rock anchor.
