  • Hey rubclt, Do you have any references for how/where to weld the engine mounts? I'm on a new TDK Basic frame and I see they have mount holes, did you end up using that location? So far I can only think to assemble the drive train while on the engine hoist and start dry fitting. Where it gets confusing is how to angle the engine relative to the rear driveline (Sitting at 4" lift)

    On the Hemi, I mounted the engine mounts, had a tub bolted to frame. Checked radiator by holding up grill. I didn’t do fenders until after painting and wish I mocked them as the inner fenders needed to be cut around the coil suspension shock towers. Not sure which frame and engine you are installing

    Its an AMC360 using the advanceadapter mounts. Frame is a basic TDK from quadratec (No extra options).I didn't factor in the Tub clearance, I'll add that to the checklist. I was primarily concerned about driveline angles to the axles with a 2.5" suspension lift. Just for sanity I was planning to mockup with a T5 and D300.
    Just looking at your project blue and wondering where you sourced the axles from? I'm doing a very similar frame-down rebuild with the TDK hybrid but using Savvy mid-arm kit for suspension. I'm trying to decide on axles and plan to do complete crate axles (TJ width). Any recommendation is appreciated.

    East Coast Gear custom built JK axles cut to TJ width. Hopefully that helps

    yep - perfect. May I ask why JK with reduced width and not their complete TJ axles? It looks great - my basic plan is the similar as your build except swapping over my existing CJ-8 parts from frame up including 258 with MPI, existing SM465 and some t-case solution TBD. I plan on using Savvy's mid-arm suspension kit. I'm just starting though, frame delivered this week...

    Jk axles are stronger and brakes are bigger with dual piston
