I would recommend not to weld a continues bead between the axle tube and diff, 4 evenly spaced beads adds less stress when the tube flexes. Good price on the axles.
Are you going to do some welding on the axels and a truss?
How many cans of spray paint do you think it will take to paint all of it?

After looking at it a little closer lately and considering I'm doing the floors and engine compartment at least a dozen. Maybe more since the white doesn't cover that well. I'll tally them up as I go along. I've been trying to get the motor to turn over using the key now. So far I have a "click" which is actually progress lol.
After swapping a few batteries and starters along with a starter solenoid I finally figured out why the Cj wouldn't turn over. It was a Automatic swapped to a manual. The automatic column uses a neutral safety switch that was slightly out of position. For the first time in 13 years this engine turned over on it's own. Today was a great day.

I get it, I'm a Jeep owner and ad-block detectors kinda stink but ads are needed on this site. This is a CJ site, all the ads are set for autos (some times others get through.) I cannot make them just for Jeeps but I try.
