Well, I finished tearing the XJuggy down to nothing, so I guess it's time to start putting all the parts into something else.  |

So I picked up a cj7 tub on a full tube chassis. The XJuggy worked great, but I was going to start hacking more of the uni body up, and replacing it with tube to fit the coilovers, so it just made sense to pick this up. I'll be changing it up quite a bit, but it should be a fun project. My goal is to have it ready to take to Disney for 4th of July weekend.

It was running wonton axles, V8 on propane, coilovers in front and rear quarter elliptical setup. It is also set as a 2 seater, so that will change so the kid has a place sit in the back.

It was alot of fun getting it off the trailer with no axles under it, but got it off and under the car port.  |

Still have to redo a cross member underneath so I can scoot the engine back about 6 more inches. I also still have to build the motor mounts, but it's all sitting inside it.  |

We got the front axle (hp44, chromoly shafts, 5.13, mini spool) pushed up under it, but nothing hooked up yet. And this catches us up to where we are now.  |
