It is a bro dozer truck but I want it just because its a 7.3 with zero rust.... and over 100k less miles than mine.

Gino and I both had more kids this year so time hasn't been on our side. Progress has started to pick back up. The axles are built and the suspension set. I built the steering links today and will work on brakes tomorrow. Might even throw the tires on it to see how it sits. Hopefully it's as low and possible. I think we will have a master cylinder and brake calipers to install tomorrow too. Plus I'd like to mount the power steering pump so those lines can be built.

Cleaned the rear bearings and installed new seals so the disks are now mounted. The rear calipers should be delivered tomorrow. Had to clearance the passenger Reid knuckle for the caliper bracket to fit. Need to get some inner spindle seals before I can mount the spindles. I thought I had a couple but can't find them. I also mounted the master cylinder and we cut the spacers for the power steering pump bracket.
I'm trying to decide if we should run the factory power steering pulley (5.25 inch) or get the PSC pulley (6.5 inch). Seems to me the factory one would keep the pump spinning faster and the pressure up at lower rpm. Any thoughts?
Also welded in the rear cross member with a suck down winch mounted to it and tighten down all the control arm bolts.
Not too bad for only being in the shop 3 hours. Sorry no pictures today. Maybe I can run out a d snap a few this evening after all the kid activities finish. There probably won't be and progress this week as my wife is traveling so I have the baby and 5 year old.

Seems weird they would underdrive the power steering. If they don't explain what's better about the 6.5 I would stay stock. Maybe under a severe load the extra leverage of the bigger pulley is helpful?
The build is looking good.
Can't wait to see the commando get going also! -
The psc - p-pump with their pulley moves the ram and my 40's with ease. The 6.5" is a pretty standard size for that pump. The jeep tc pump needs to spin faster.

ive even heard the new Big Bore Steering boxes from them do not need any assist, we have a JK on full widths here with 40s, only has the box and pump setup.

Turns out the TJ pulley won't fit anyway. The bore is too small to press on. My YJ pulley had fit just fine so I had assumed the TJ was the same. Oh well, time to order a bunch of stuff anyway.

As of last weekend the axles are assembled and she holds her own weight. We modified the original grill hoop for the narrower frame and bent a stinger. The grill is also permenantly attached and a buddy is welding tabs to the new aluminum radiator.

We put an AW4 in out of a Cherokee. Got the RadDesigns shifter kit for it to control it electronically.

We picked up a few sticks of tube for the cage today.

Cool, thanks for the info. I’m working through the aw4 swap on mine currently.

Seems like we took a step backwards because we removed the tires and original cage to build a new cage. Picked up 120 feet of tube to Hopefully get it done. Made the B pillar bar before the weekend was over.
If anyone has any interest in a factor cage with a front add on section let me know.

Got a lot of the front section done. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Made up a simple little device that makes swinging long sections of tube really easy. It's still a two man job tho. I also made an aluminum fan shroud to mount the 14 inch Spal fan. The radiator looks tiny but it's a 2.5" core that's rated for 400 hp. Hopefully it stays cool.

We had about 2 hours tonight to mess with it. Made a rear halo for over the back. It turned out really well.

Still making progress. The C pillars are in and one piece from the top to the bottom. An additional brace was welded to the shock hoop. The seat mounts are also done.

This is amazing! I'll never do anything even close to this, but I love seeing the progress and reading about what was done. Learning some new terms too.
