Got the drivetrain off the stand and sitting inside the frame rails. I think I'm going to slide the chassis back a bit as there is a lot of clearance between the first cross member and the drive accessories.

Tomorrow I should be able to get the mounts built so the drive train isnt tilted back so far.

Once the drivetrain mounts are done I can start working on the boat sides and get the body mounted.

Then build out the rest of the chassis/cage.

Quick & short update today.

Spent the day getting into the MVC as I'm working on getting my CDL. Got started late and ran out of wire then my HF notcher broke again. Picking up another 12lb spool and warranty-ing the notcher in the morning.

I don't ever want to hear an excuse for not building cool stuff. My tube notcher is secured with deck screws into a board sitting on two broken window a/C units in the dirt of my friends backyard.

Added more vertical supports between the rails. You don't realize how long it takes to do 28 notches.

Got one of the X bars in before I ran out of day light. Will get that done tomorrow. Hoping to have it under the body tomorrow so I can start making motor mounts.

I'll be posting daily updates so if you're not already following me make sure you do.

If I sit the front tubes on the top of my truss the bottom rails are about 8-10" off the ground.

I should have it in the body tomorrow or Tuesday. Tomorrow I need to make the other support tubes between the upper lower rails. Then I'll make the diagonal bracing between the crossmembers. That may take me all day tomorrow.

Once that's done I will make mounts for the drivetrain, get them off the wooden stands and get this in place on jack stands. So I can start building the "rock rails"/upper boat side.

Got the main frame rails bent up today. Tomorrow I'll make the gussets connecting up and lower rails together. Then I will make the cross members and connect the two sides together.

Used 2"x0.120 DOM and a @roguefab
bender.

Picked up my #NP205 #transfercase and gave it a quick power washing.

It's a Ford case with 32 spline fixed yokes on both front and rear output. Bigger input shaft bearing than the GM/Dodge cases.

Now to hit up @np205cases to help me get it attached to my #TH400 😉👍

While waiting on my seat I started fabricating some trim pieces on the dove tail. Then ran out of welding gas.

Bottles refilled and today's another day.

Started working on the dove tail. Got it cut and bent. I need to take about a 1.5" strip out of the center section to shorten it up.

Tomorrow I'll clean up the plasma cuts, get it aligned, and start welding it back together.

Using 23 internal dimensions of our XJ body with no floor this is the ultra4 #4400 chassis we came up with.

Will allow for a completely flat belly. Dove tail. Dove nose. Will fit 32gal fuel cell on platform behind seat area. 48" rear lower links.

Open to feedback. First time doing a build like this.

125" wheelbase. I think I'm going to slide both axles back a few inches and drop it down to 124".

I was originally shooting for 120" with 40s but with these 43s I think 124" will make obstacles like backdoor very difficult instead of very very difficult.
