Hey Guys
We are making great progress with all of our design work required for this bad ass build. Here are two images of our new rear cross member that will allow us to go to a triangulated 4 link rear! We will be selling this as a DIY kit down the road. You will have to remove the OEM cross member behind the T-Case and replace it with this unit!
Let us know your thoughts! It is made from 3/16 thick laser cut steel.

We are plugging along now. Finnally it feels like we are starting to make some progress. Not only do we have this build going, but we are also building a stretch TJ at the same time for EJS 2010.
We actually cut out the entire OEM cage since there is no way is it going to work for us!
Would anyone like a stock JK 2 Door Cage before it ends up in the scrap yard? Like new, never used! Just kidding. It is scrap.
We also got all of our axle mounts welded on on Rock Jok 60 Front! We used our standard lower coil over mounts to be used as either coil over mounts or standard shock mounts depending on what events we are participating in. The lower conrol arm mounts are our standard heavy duty units that we offer out of 1/4 thick steel with a built in skid.
We graphted our standard upper coil over mounts in with the OEM coil spring mounts! This will again allow us to either run coil overs or a standard coil spring and shock combination depending on what event "The Victim" is competing in.
We welded in our standard high clearance front lower control arm mounts out of our long arm systems! "The Victim" will be using our standard 3 link front end with track bar. Notice that they do not hang down any lower than the OEM cross member in any position. They bolt in place and then weld to the frame for a bullet proof mounting system.
This week we will be building our new custom roll cage as well as working on the new Reverse Triangulated 4 Link Rear Set Up that we will be offering as a DIY package!
This project is really going to come together in the next few weeks. It has too! Easter Jeep Safari is just around the corner.
