I know I'm just imagining it, but looking at these two shots, I could swear the rear axle isn't centered?
BTW: Simply amazing, completely, and like everyone else, I say however long it takes, it takes. There's really "No Compromise" with this, including the time it's taking to do it right!

Here are the front links done, the Jeep should be standing on all four coil-overs by Monday
This isn't full flex, as you can see we are hitting the grill/quarter panel so he's got some trimming to do
This is how we are trimming the grill

I can't wait to see the finished project! I can't wait to see the finished project! I could not help to see where you were. I am off of 218 and I-485.
In 2005 I was t-boned on my bike by a Drunk Driver.. Only to spend many months in recovery.. and then get hit head on a year later by another Drunk Driver.
Hopefully my JK will protect me from the DD's just as the good Lord did.
Hit me up sometime.. would love to get together and wheel, or just shoot the breeze. not many JK'rs around here.
I want to know how the axles work for you!
Here are some of my battle scars. Glad to see you are a champ of life to carry on!
Here is a pic of the car I was driving when I was hit head on.. The good Lord has watched over me!

You can't run a trac bar on that front end. The upper control arms and the trac bar would be constantly fighting each other. That axle will stay centered during its whole range of travel due to the triangulation unlike a trac bar that would pull it side to side.
