Well... i've finally realized... Rocks would be STUPID on this project... not enough horsepower, and not enough frame... one day.. i will have rocks on something possibly. BUT, i have a new plan.

SO.. i recently purchased a 14 Bolt Full Float Axle that I'm going to use on the CJ5. I'm looking for a Dana 60 Front.. but, may have to settle with a Dana 44 Front for now.... the search is still on for the front Dana 60.

I have also purchased and am installing power steering, and hydraulic assist.

The ultimate plan:

Frame: Stretch the CJ5 Frame to 109+ inches. Reinforce the Frame by squaring where necessary.

Axles:
Rear: 14 Bolt FullFloat, 5,38 Gears, Welded Spool, shaved to 13 bolt for clearance.
Front: Dana 60, 5.38 Gears, Detroit Locker,

Brakes: Disc

Wheels:
Recentered H1, beadlock wheels, 8 lug.

Tires: 38-40" TBD

Steering: Hydraulic assist, power steering

Suspension: SOA w/ 4" lift total 9" lift

Winch: mounted front TBD
Onboard Air: TBD
