Better put a notch in the oil pan! It is amazing how things that should not contact each other find a way to contact somehow. The rig is getting big!

Thanks guys. I'm really liking how it is coming together. I hope if the bar notches the oil pan it only goes up a little with no leaks. :)

x2... I don't believe that finger distance will be enough for deflection of the whole assembly... good news is that it will "self clearance" fairly easily, the bad news is that the potential damage to an oil pickup could cause serious problems down the trail...

Just my opinion...

Looking great!

X3... I thought I had enough room between my oil pan and my steering ram, but after bottoming the front end hard a few times it made a nice imprint in the pan. Luckily, no leaks.

We built the jeep at ride height. I cut the upper pan hard bracket to fit with the numbers. I guess missing the oil pan was a bonus on the first try.

I'll keep an eye on it but will need to order another one to get it to mount in a lower hole. Thanks for the input

Reason why this isn't done yet.

That explains a lot.....

After some prying and pulling was able to split the 249 and get out the input and planetary. The 231 was a lot easier to split. It already had a 6 gear planetary that I could use with my input shaft. Cleaned it up and put it back together. Hope to put it up in the jeep in the next few days

Thanks to huntingmatt418 joe and rolf

Had to order the transfer case to trans studs. I couldn't get the ones out of my 249. So the new case to go in this week.

Got the disk brakes on the 14 bolt.

Cut the fenders last night. I like the back but rethinking the front. Got some inner fender area to cut out and rebox in the front behind the head lights. The battery box and air box will need moved. Thanks to the guys who came and hung out yesterday

Ordered a custom fuel cell from RCI. It is the 30*12*9 but I had them not put in the sending unit or pick up lines on it. I bought a fuel cell adapter ring from genright that uses the stock jeep sender with the In tank pump and regulator.

A few pics of the fender and door on the passenger side after the cut. I started the fill in process. After a lot of trimming and fitting I got the fill in piece to fit and filled. Not to bad since I hadn't ever worked sheet metal before.
