I have gotten the rust and all the paint off the axle now. The truss has been modified to fit the axle. Now all I need to do is to pull the old axle out of the Jeep and use that as a model to measure where to put all the brackets. Here is another pic of it.
Yes, I get pretty excited about axles. The other great thing about this is that if I screw it up real bad, I only paid 150 for the axle. If you read the 4X4 magizines, they would have you believe everyone is running around with 6K worth of axles. Seems a bit steep to me. Plus, building it is probably 75% of the fun.
