Yeah, like Stodinator said. From the TJ or the XJ.

There great transmissions. I used all Novak pieces for my LS swap in Rst8rox. They have great customer service as well as amazing instructions for everything. Jeff is the man over there & has always pointed me in the right direction. I’ve spend many of minutes on the phone as their tech walked me through any issues.

Do they have to do any work to that trans for it to live behind the 360?

Late to the party on this thread, but what an amazing project. Looks like it's coming along nicely!
Thanks, we’re making progress now. Just need to keep the progress funded!

Found a bit more rust inside a seam on the passenger rear fender. That’s the last spot, now the metal is being fabbed back up and welded.

It amazes me how seamless they can bring two pieces of metal together so seamlessly.

That whole corner was replaced. I’ve never been thru something like this. It’s crazy!

Still have a couple issues to work thru. The front pinion angle is too low and we’ll have to shim it a bit or cut the spring mount on the axle and rotate up a bit. But we need to get all the weight back on that before we can make that call.
What we do know is the gas tank and skid are going to have to get modified. The rear shackles are right at the edge of skid plate. With any flexing, they’ll be into it.

We did go from YJ springs and I know that has some affect there. I’ll be calling Genrite tomorrow to check with them before we do.

It’s looking awesome! It’s a great feeling when you start seeing everything come together! I look forward to seeing the next update.
