14 bolt is in

YAY! its finally in the rear of the cherokee. makes me happy. Only problem is now once the springs compress, the axle will tag my gas tank, but I'll figure it out.

Let me be the first to ask for pics of the rear axle in the rig.

here it is. I still have to set the pinion angle and weld the perches in. but the big sucker is in there and that makes me happy.

Ohh! disc brakes!

Do you have room to slide the tank towards the rear at all?

I'll be watching closely, I recently picked up a 14 bolt as well and have the fuel tank in the spare area.

with that tank I have no room what so ever. I got just enough room between the tank and the back of the frame to get a wrench in there. Probably gonna have to cut that tank up some, or build myself a new one.

yeah got discs. since I converted the rear 44 to discs, I'll never be without rear discs on my jeep again.

You amaze me, always tweekin' that beast. I noticed that the doors are back on, but what happened to the side windows? Keep up the good work. On another note, I have almost procured all the stuff for the hydrogen generator. We'll see soon, and I'll keep you posted.

I'm always messing with it, but I am slow. my dad was mowing the weeds in the back yard and it kicked up some rocks and busted 3 of my windows. yeah, doors are on to keep some of the wet out. I hope to have it back on the road by next spring, then I can throw my half doors back on.

Ime and my pops has the stuff for the hydrogen generator, just havent had time to get on it yet cause he's been gone most the summer hunting for gold.
