I kinda want it. I’ve been eyeballing a white one for a couple months now.
Blue wasn't my FIRST choice in colors but it was on SALE and about 1/2 the MSRP price so I couldn't pass it up. Still not positive that I am going to use it.

This is probably a dumb question and someone way smarter than me has already asked it but what is between the the frame rails under the tub in the area of the frame arches where you WANT to mount the Antirock? Theoretically you’d only be lowering it a couple inches and you could weld in tubes to get the frame strength back and then use bushing like the front Antirock. I’m not at home to look at my own so forgive the ignorance.So I figured I'd do a little mock up for the rear AR and of course came up with a issue. To clear the upper air bag bracket I've either got to use the bent arms.

Or if I use the straight arms they'll hit the upper bracket.

But then laying a straight arm under a bent arm shows that it's length is in-between the 2nd and 3rd hole.

With the AR pushed as far forward as I can get it here is where I'm sitting.

I'd have to trim off the first 3 holes. Which really isn't much shorter than the bent arms. Then I could use the multi hole axle brackets.

I can't verify any of this until I get my new tires and the rear axle rebuilt.

Looks sweet!While I'm waiting for the paint to dry I put the console back together. And I threw the transmission shifter in just to see what it's going to look like.

Damn it looks great .
That really is a stupid place to put that floor mount!While I'm waiting for the paint to dry I put the console back together. And I threw the transmission shifter in just to see what it's going to look like.

Like in this areaThis is probably a dumb question and someone way smarter than me has already asked it but what is between the the frame rails under the tub in the area of the frame arches where you WANT to mount the Antirock? Theoretically you’d only be lowering it a couple inches and you could weld in tubes to get the frame strength back and then use bushing like the front Antirock. I’m not at home to look at my own so forgive the ignorance.
If nothing is there couldn’t one cut holes through the frame and basically make the Antirock for the rear mount like the front Antirock does?
The DS could be in the way, just thinking of possible solutions if there were any.@01TJ-Blues Yes I guess you maybe could run it thru the frame. In the universal kits they give you a piece of tubing that the bushings fit into. But in the area where you circled I think the driveshaft would hit it. I'll take some pictures later for you to show what I am talking about.
How do you like the length of the tcase shifters, Rick? Just looking at the pics, they look a bit long to me. But hard to tell without the seat in place.This shifter from NWF (Northwest Fabrication) in Canada is really well built. It has plastic washers that go between each of the shifter levers.

I mounted it to the center console temporarily so I can run the cables and see how it all is going to fit.

I also connected the transmission cable to the shifter so I can get this mocked up. I'd thought I might be able to use the spot where the parking brake cable went thru the floorboard and had kept the seal that goes there. So far it seems to be working.

I've got the shifter sitting in place and the cable was fished thru the floorboard and tomorrow I'll work on connecting the cable to the transmission. A member over on Jeep Forum (Chris) used the same shifter on his YJ that he swapped a V-8 & 46RE into. So I'm going to use his ideas for mine.

Once I've got the transmission cable connected then I'll also do the STaK's cables.

Really like the look of how this is coming together. Have you given any thought to doing the console in same material you used for the tub but maybe in black? Just throwing out ideas as not sure shiny fits with your interior.

Center shift shaft bent at the threads?
