project..... Family Wheeler (Hillbilly Deluxe)

[bell]

Made a little more progress today! I cut out the front clip, removed the radiator, A/C lines and unhooked all the wiring. Next, I'll remove the engine/tranny. Then, it will be time for frame repair! 
Panzer and I will be leaving for PA tomorrow @ midnight, to pick up the "parts tracker."
Also, I scored a IFS rear axle and a set of 2" wheel spacers today!!!

Well, here's some pics of the parts. Thanks to Sean Devinney for the parts tracker, my bud Jeremy for the IFS rear and wheelspacers, Nate (zuki68) for the "rollers", and thanks to zucruisers for the YJ springs.
I also got the parts tracker cut up (as you can see from the framerail pic.
And I pulled the motor and trans. Ready for frame repair.

Looks like you guys have been busy!
 Hey Jon can ya lighten your pics up more? I can't see much       Weed

Well, I have decided against the missing links. I think the YJ's will flex good enough for the trails I run. I want to keep it VERY drivable, so my wife can drive it.
I guess, if I'm not happy with the flex, I can add missing links at a later time.
I will be ordering a BUNCH of parts tomorrow..... pics to come.
