A few months before I was deployed I bought a 89 YJ, so I did none of the fabrication work on this rig. I can answer some questions about the work if you ask them, if I cannot answer them I can call the PO and get them.
As is sits now it has a 10 bolt front and a 12 bolt rear, 95 LT1 with TCI TH350, NP203 with part time kit. Also have a 15 gallon fuel cell I will be putting in behind the rear seat. I bought the fuel cell from summint and cannot remember the part number. It has stock YJ springs in front and GM 63" springs in the rear. The privious owner extended the rear 15" to and moved the spring hangers back as well to accommodate the 63" springs. The YJ also has a 2" body lift on it and will come in handy when I put a belly up skid plate on. It has a 12,000lbs Warn winch in the front, it also has cross over steering and is sitting on 36" swampers with Eaton 15x10 6 lug bead locks.
My plans are to cut the 15" extention and replace it with a better built 4"x4" extention to run stock Dakota springs flipped around. I will also be running stock Wagoneer springs in the front flipped around as well. With both set of srpings flipped it will give me about 108" to 110" wheel base. This is because the center pin in both sets of springs is off set. It will get a full cage put in as well. I will be putting a Ford HP D60 with detroit locker in the front and a 14 bolt full float with detroit locker and disk brakes in the rear. I will also be putting 35 spline outers on the D60. I will be running 5.13 gears in both of the axles. I will also be putting 1/2" lift greasable shackles in the front and rear. The tires I will be running will either be 42" Iroks or the 42" Pit Bull Rockers. I will also be replacing the TH350/NP203 with a very well built TH700R4 and a NP231 with a HD SYE out of a 2000 TJ. I will also be putting a 4:1 low kit in the 231 and I will run that till I can afford a Atlas 4 SPD. :D
On to the pictures, sorry I have no wheeling or flexing pictures as of yet.

I have already moved the tranny cooler to in front of the radiator since these pictures were taken.

Here is a picture of the Fuel Cell that is going in. I also have all new fittings and fuel line that will be going in as well. The fittings and fuel line are the samething that Drag cars use.

I have a list of parts that I will be getting while I am deployed so they will be sitting at home waiting for me. :D
