Here are a few older photo's of my rig when i just picked it up. Its come a long way since then and is almost ready for its new axles to be bolted up and the turbo and radiator to go on.

Here are some more pictures of my progress, The 3/4 ton axles are in as well as The 2" lift springs and the Hummer beadlocks, and the turbo and the injection pump is turned up. The roll cage and roof are removed so It will fit into the garage and to prep for body work / paint. There is also a picture of the sm-465/np205 setup that will be going in this weekend. Check out the ground clearance that over that 5 gallon bucket.

Wow, that is a heck of a project you got.

Here are some more pictures from the trans install and with the fenders back on. Check out the bracket I made to mount a hydraulic clutch on the mechanical linkage bell housing.

The engine really pulls hard and I can cruse at 1:1 at 40mph, which I about what my stock TJ can do. So I guess ill be at 2500rpm at 75mph. Got a chance to take it around town and push it, I got up to 5lbs of boost. The engine is really rough on that 3 speed I guess even more so because im running a gas clutch/flywheel, I'm thinking about going back to an auto but a 700r4/np205 setup now. Well see if I can find one. Plus the O/D would be nice on the highway.

The reason why I would want to downgrade the auto's is because I pick up overdrive and the np205's for the 700R4 are a lot cheaper and easier to come by/convert to.

It's about time I actually got a picture of the CJ in action.

I guess you do not have to worry about bogging down on power;)
