I'm a little ahead of the game on posting, sorry. I was able to work on it yesterday. I installed a right front fender and removed the dash. Did some horsetrading as well and ended up with a windshield fold-down setup from an SJ410 and a set of modified door hinges so the doors can be easily removed. These came with doors still attached, so I traded my doors (which were in better shape) for the doors with the removeable hinges.
Hopefully today I can get the front axle and dummy case removed.

I will post some more pics later.

You've been busy Dave. See you got those hard screws out. I may have the part between the fenders the grille mounts to if you need one. I'm thinking about a 410 grille for the tt. Bill

Thanks Bill! I'm not sure which way i will be going with the grille area.
Well I got the rear end dropped this afternoon. Gotta love those two wheel drives! Sure makes it easy when a vehicle hasn't seen a lot of mud! Here's a pic of the two springs for comparison. The Rodeo spring is on top, Sammy is on the bottom. As you can see, the new spring is not centered. If installed as shown, it will set the axle back two inches. But reversed it will offset close to four inches. Still debating...

Memory card was full, and it was getting dark...will take more pics later.

Well, I got some more stuff done. Rear bumper is removed. Looks like I am gonna mount the spring so I have the four inch offset. I realize that is gonna mean extensive trimming, but I went into this project with that in mind. Gonna have to use missing link shackles in the rear, might try to make some at work tomorrow, if I have time. Will have new pics to upload by the weekend.

Well I had to do a quick mock up today. Temporarily mounted axles back under the sammy just to get an idea what it's gonna look like and to get an plan on the missing link for the rear. These are not the tires I am gonna run, they are the 31's from my sidekick. I have a set of 34x9.50's that I have to pick up. Finished ride height will probably be a little higher, since I have not got the rear springs mounted. Gonna be a good bit of trimming(cutting?) in the rear...

Mocked up my missing link rear shackles today. Looks like I need to add about 2 Inches to the horizontal part.

Been busy with work and other stuff, not much progress except for removing the fender flares. Here is a pic as it sits now.

Looks good sitting there.  Are you going to flat fender the back then remove the gas tank next?
