Got the genright adapter ring installed tonight. I used a ¼" drill bit for the holes and a jig saw with a metal blade for the big hole. I also put masking tape down to protect the cell.
The gasket maker I used. Seemed thin but got sticky quick
Put together
If anyone uses this adapter put the gasket in the adapter NOT on the sender. Ask me how I know. :mad:
All installed

Got the jeep spun around in the garage this past weekend. Now I can start on the driver side rear fender.
Took a break on the fenders to work on the steering a little bit. Got the new pump.
Made templates for the orbital mount. Plan on using the steering gear mounting holes to bolt the mount to the frame
And cut the steering shaft so it will slip in and out. It was pressed at the stock length. Grinded off the pressed part and now it slips
Stock length 21"
Collapsed to 16"
Also had to file a little on the inner shaft cause it had some kind of a coating that made it to tight to slip easy.

Got the bracket for the orbital made up. It was harder than I thought it would be to fit it in there. It ended making the steering shaft a little closer to the header than I wanted but ended up good. If I would have angled it the orbital lines would have ran close to the belt.
The reason for the bracket. The unibody has an offset where the steering box was.
Test fit
All mounted up
Ran wire for the lengths of the hydro lines. Got them all mocked up.
May run this one in front of the upper bracket. But there is more room than it looks.

Got the rear fenders done. The trim panel is trimmed.
How I think I'm going to set the tank. To keep room for the batteries. If they don't fit on the other side I'll center the tank.
Passenger side
When I get my battery boxes I'll see if they fit in the extra space. If not I'll back up and punt and try something else with them.

All fenders are reboxed and painted.
Pass side engine bay. I plan on a high amp junction box for the hot leads.
And some fun stuff begins
Started laying out the winch plate and how to mount it. All the exo cage will tie in at the bumper and stinger in front.
Also got all the steering lines made at a local shop. Great prices and good people. Eagle equipment in franklin.

That winch plate looks like it sits kinda low but i guess your rig sits a lot higher than mine. My winch plate will be even with the top of the bumper cover to maintain as much approach angle as possible. I might have it mounted by June if I'm lucky......
Still a real good looking build, hope we can get the twins together sometime this year?Romans 7-8
