Flatfender Jeep Weekend Welding

  I got to tinkering with my flatfender Jeep over the weekend. I pierced the frame with boss tubing to mount the suspension radius arms front and rear. They nearly meet in the middle. I still need to finish up the double-shear brackets that will fit on the outside.

  I also located the steering box and tack welded the mounts in place. The steering box, pitman arm, tie rod, drag link, and front axle are all from a '74-'79 Jeep Wagoneer. Everything seems to be fitting. I won't even need to modify the drag link. I like building with easy-to-get off-the-shelf parts.
