Burn baby burn :)

As @Rickyd stated above, as long as everything clears you should be good to burn them in. The driveshaft does look close, but could be camera angles.

Ah yeah, I forgot the Hemi mounts are further back. It's worth a look if you can make it work, otherwise it's similar to @NashvilleTJ setup which is really nice.

Here you go, driver side: You can see I added an additional piece just for the skid support. Here is the passenger side: This side was just drill and attach.

They are not, but I will get some today. I looked back and only showed the main skid mods and not how I attached the front of the engine skid. Stay tuned.

I ran similar front skid supports as what you are showing. I ran them up to my motor mounts. Like you, passenger side was easy. I added an additional support to the drivers side motor mount to get the skid mount in the right place.

Maybe the brake system thinks the parking brake is on? I don't even have a proportion valve so that connector is just sitting there. I also removed almost all the bulbs in the cluster so who knows :)

Rick, I noticed you aren't running high pressure hoses on your hydroboost brakes. I had to run all high pressure hoses from the PS pump to the hydrooboost, and hydroboost to my orbital. Did you run those hoses previously?

Nice shots! Maybe a loose wire from the stretch tank install of the fuel pump?

For sure. I plan to hit RC up at least one more time in 2024. I just need to wait for kids sports seasons to wrap up. I will be free in Nov and Dec so hoping the weather isn't to bad. It's usually fine unless we get early cold spells. I'll keep you posted!

Jeep is looking great. You'll notice a big difference with the outboard and rear stretch. It'll feel like a new rig. Congrats!

It seems the 4.0 prices are similar to LS prices. Depending on which V8 you are going with it may be the perfect time to go V8 before the tons. Just a thought, plenty have run the 4.0 on tons and perform adequately.

Rick, congrats on getting the belt situation solved. Hemi sounds awesome. I see you added the heat wrap on the shifter cable. That cable also looks pretty close above the O2 sensor. I would suggest to that thing all the way where it's remotely close to the exhaust. I'm sure you've got to be...

It's a tough choice. You've already stretched it, might as well go full bore on a known Jeep. You going V8 to turn those tons and 40s?

Rear Stretch looks good. Those corners look awesome. Better than the hack job I did with a jigsaw that's for sure. You seem to following a similar path that I am on. At least you have a 44 front with RCVs. I used to run a HP Dana 30 with stock shafts and broke a bunch of shafts on 35s. We'll...

Hell yeah, I look forward to seeing how she looks once your done!

Nice rig. I did a 5" rear stretch on mine when it was still on 35s so I still have a bunch of info.

That's cool. Seeing as how my wheeling crew are all on ton's and 40s+ it's nice to have another option. Thanks for the info!

What is FRO? I'm always looking for alternatives to RC/AOAA/The Cove.

You are getting so close now. Hopefully you can get a couple shakedown runs before the end of year!!
