Billy where will you be? I will be in South Florida even though I would like to have gone.

Jeep is almost able to roll out of the garage. Will DEFINITELY be ready in time for this one.....HAHA Let's take up mine, share the cost and share driving. Will teach ya how it all works.
-
same hook up. sides doesn't matter, though i would use the shorter of the two. that's what i did. i think i used two driver's sides. no modification, hooks right up.

two same side ZJ cables

just run the conversion joint as Ian said... they work nice.

You can normally get rotors turned at Napa for $10 each.

keyed battery switch put under the hood

Agreed. Cory is a badass guy to work with. Super reasonable.
His company name is actually Hard Color.
Will give a club discount if you tell him you are from Delaware Jeep.

I agree with you, but as I said, all you need to do is grind out that center hub hole lip thing that the H2 wheels have going on and it is still centered and even. As long as you don't act like a mongaloid with the damn things, it turns out fine. Mine balanced very nicely with the least amount of weight I have ever had on a mud terrain type tire. I have 6oz as the heaviest weight. To each their own.

How is it a shortcut when they work just fine, just b/c I didn't go to a machine shop? Grind out to the same point all of the way around and it works fine (there is a real nice lip used to gauge this), use them as lug-centric and even if you cut out the center with a hacksaw, they would be fine. No need to waste money if you do not have to. can even finish and polish the center when done if you'd like, would never know the difference.

Took me 30 minutes and was free... looks fine... Are they hub-centric, no, but they work and are balanced.

98 TJ highly modified, I will sell it cheap. Sort of...

quit talking about it and just start doing. hahaha Made some changes to your parts. Taking the rear to either get bored or use 70 spindles as said. Will get it all together as soon as Brian starts ordering the parts.

As stated, stock skid is able to be run after being notched, but it does make it a bit weaker. Would be fine as long as you do not beat on it.
Clayton stuff is nice, I beat the fuck out of mine pretty regularly. I bent a johnny joint, and that has been in.
Welded tube-sert vs threaded tube.... Its all a personal preference as long as the threads are cut correctly into a tube. A welded tube-sert is a very structurally sound way to run it.
Welding it all on is not hard, but it should be done by a capable welder. A lot of stress is put through the mounts and if done imporoperly, it could end very badly. Make sure who you have weld it up does it right.
Shock relocation - well worth the money for some lower shock mounts and some F-250 shock towers. Easy and you gain a lot of handling from it. As far as "shaving" an 8.8 housing to run a sway bar, thats all sort of BS. I had mine with nothing out out of it and ran a stock sway bar on it with no issues. And I am kind of lost with you saying that your brackets ned to be redone to run a long arm... What brackets are those? You get rid of brackets with the clayton kit, but I don't understand where having to redo some brackets to work with your short arm turns into going to a long arm. But to each their own. Just sounds like to me that someone fucked up the original brackets.
Don't make any of it harder than it needs to be. Be very particular with who you hav welding it all on. Make sure that they know that the mounts are not universal and they belong in certain spots and need to be on the correct side of the vehicle.

not sure what the fill plug is made of. Tacking a 10mm to it may not be the best option.
-
if you are going through all of this hassle, just rotate the Cs on the axle to fix the caster issues. no biggie.
-
Ahh nevermind me, I saw time frame and was thinking actualy frame. OOps. Yes I would def say 18ga. 20 is a bit too thin I think.
-
What is your overall goal from this?
-
12 ga would be my guess.
