the axles have 1/4 inch dome covers welded on the axle after the stock one was removed
also the bracing on the axle housing is all 1/4 inch a friend of mine built them for his truck and he gave them to me when he did his link conversion
and the windows i dont know how they are while driving or rain the vehicle has not been driven yet due to engine needing head gasket and rear main
center console is from a wrangler i think. it was given to me
seats are from a 2006 saab 9-3 aero

these are my prototype windows not sure how water will be the gen one has the rain rail across the top and down the windshield so it should be ok but im gonna sew in some rubber between the snaps so it will have some type of seal. and i sewed them with a sewing machine. its marine vinyl and clear vinyl with nylon thread its all double stitched ill for sure let you know how it is in weather and on the road i think they will be good

There is a fill hole on the third member side. The front axle will be replaced once I build my new one. Build is moving well now I was stalled out for a while due to low cash flow.
Update. I get my engine this weekend and will install next week with the tranny ill post pics
Does trail gear have driveshafts for dual cases ?
And I didn't know if there were any other cross members for dual cases besides trail gear?
