I got a wildernest topper last year in august of 2017. And then finally got rid of the other shell on CL. Turns out the old one fit a longbed toyota truck perfect.

New as of 3-NOV-2017:
I ordered a pair of metric ton leaf springs with ~3" or so of lift. Took a long damm time to come in but they finally arrived last night. I have a set of ruff stuff SUA perches that I will use to mount these up to a KJ 8.25 from my 05 parts CRD. http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/...DEAV-WIYP.html The 8.25 I am using has a limited slip and 3.73s which is a good match for the CRD powerband. http://colorado4wheel.com/images/1988_MJ/IMG_1172.JPG |
Cool stuff...but your welding does suck. Buy a wire welder.

You're taking this to a whole different level. I admire the time, patience and detail in this project. Kudos to you.

Rolled the MJ into the garage and started prepping the KJ axle, got the KJ brackets - lower control arm, shock mount, and spring pad cutoff, and I am half done grinding the tube smooth.

In preparation for installing the axle I sprayed the leaf springs. They were basically bare steel, or one step above it. So I prepped them by cleaning with Acetone and a microfiber rag. I had a ton of high temp rustoleum black around so I used that, hit the leaves with a bunch of coats of. Might not be the best prep or cleanup or even paint for the long term, but its gotta be better than bare and I'll its under the jeep anyway.
