Drivetrain shots from initial mock-up. You can kind of see how I made a "subframe" for the link mounts. These JK frames are really wide, so I had to do something to bring the frame-side mounts in...but I didn't want the lowers on a crossmember (to aid drivetrain ease of service in the future). So I carefully prepped and welded some 4x4 square tubing on the frame and built out from there. Worked out that I can run my exhaust through the 4x4 (it's wrapped now). Initially, I thought I would need flex joints in the front section of the exhaust to keep the engine vibes from breaking it, but everything is mounted with some pretty stiff urethane mounts, so I'm gonna let it ride and see how it fares. I already have the flex couplings, so adding them later won't be a big deal. The exhaust is installed with stainless band clamps, so each section is independently removable. Tailpipes are in progress.
