Pics show the rear brake lines safely on top now, fender extension progress, and front fender stuffin'.
Key to the flexing (not extreme, but far beyond stock) is the Teraflex Revolver shackles, and extended ARB, Vent, e-brake, and vent lines. Putting the springs on top of the axles helps, too!
This weekend, I hit the trail and do some real life testing.
Looks sweet man, you are doing a nice job.
If it was mine and because I bush run, I would be taking a piece of 1" angle iron about 6" long and be tack welding the open side of the V horizontally across the spring u-bolts in line with the axle tube just below the brake lines. That way if anything does come up at them, it will slide off the angle iron cross bar. I might even notch it so the open angle was touching the axle tube before welding it to the bolts so nothing can even sneak in the crack and nail the line.
I just see branches hitting the strangest things all the time. Like my fan belt on my first off road run. No shroud on my CJ7 or the stick would likely have been deflected. Or not, who knows...
Just a thought...

Late 70's CJ-5 or CJ-7 with V-8 and manual tranny. Light surface rust ok, would like it to be in good mechical condition. of course. Saving up $ for now and trying to read up on Jeep stuff. Hoping to make a purchase by end of March next year at the latest.

As long as you're dreaming, dream of one in a heated garage, not out in the middle of a muddy, rainy field! ;-)

Yeah, that's my car that's for sale. You're nearby. Wanna buy it? :-) I grew up in Fayetteville. I started to talk to you about that a few months ago when I was considering making the move to a Jeep, but got sidetracked. I went to Westover, graduated in '86. I lived over off of Yadkin Road most of the time I was there in Summerhill right near one of the entrances to base. I still remember the windows rattling in the frames when they'd be doing their practice bombing on base. heh heh
