*HELLUVA* DIY build. Well done.👍 As for the full hydro: don't. You'll lose all road feel. Full hydro is only needed and recommended when your front stretch exceeds pitman arm and drag link geometry. Hydro assist will turn those 40s with ease while retaining all the road feel and feedback.

@@517kdub My experienced suggestion would be to jump on pirate4x4 and ask "Full hydro or hydro assist for a daily driver/wheeler" to see what thoughts come your way from longtime experienced wheelers like myself. Also, if given the chance, drive a full hydro and a hydro-assist on the same stretch of road/trail and feel the difference. Personally, I can't stand not having the feedback that hydro-assist still gives. Cheers.

Seriously good work...the 4-link is very nice.

Dude this build is sick! I had a 99 tj with the 4banger and 4.88s. Ended blowing the motor on the highway.

Bad ass build! How do the ORI struts hold up that weight? I’m building a ‘14 jk with a 12valve also on ORI struts. I had doubled up the struts on the front to compensate for the weight. Also running a water to air intercooler to save some weight.

Awesome thanks man, I sold the factory rubicon axles, motor, tranny and transfer case and got a good chunk of money from that. I bought a wrecked 1991 dodge W250 from a buddy of mine for $3000 and drove it home. Truck only had 180k on it. I'm about 2k into the front axle, 1k in the rear. I made the motor mounts and cross members, about $250. Link's and joints about $700. I don't really have a final cost on the tube for the tire carrier or rear frame material. I'd say I'm about $12k into it, probably a little more
