Ok this is for Marty,JJ,Inc,OHV,Troy.
I need to get the measurements for the custom work that has to be done. Like the frame stiffeners, the front crossmember, coilover tabs, and whatever else was custom made. If you can please send some photos of the stuff close up and from different angles with measurements. thanks a lot. Need to start getting the stuff together so i can start making the custom brackets and what not. Hard to do from pic's alone. If you have anything on cad let me know. Thanks guys a lot.
Also any other help would be helpful (Marty) ha ha. jk. thanks guys

I don't have any measurements to be honest. Nothing on CAD, no more pics yet either. The guy's shop, the one doing my swap, is a 45 minute drive form my house so I get what he provides for the most part.
frame stiffeners: they go from the rear stock control arm mounts forward to where the front of the unibody curves up in the engine bay. Mine goes around and up the sides of the unibody frame and are welded in. They go under the t-case crossmember as well. They are custom fitted around my welded in supports for my rock rails, which no one else has, so for you, they wouldn't work right anyway. Just measure around your unibody frame of where you want the thing to be stiffened.
the front crossmember: are you referring to the engine mounts? If so, measure them when you take them out to replace them or to customize the stock ones like I did. You don't really need measurements if you use the stock ones like I did though, since they bolt right back in place.
the coilover tabs: just plain old shock tabs that you can buy online from a number of sources. Most of my brackets aren't really custom, they were bought online and made to fit into the jeep. It is how they are mounted to the jeep that make them custom. So depending on your coilovers, your long arms, and anything else you buy for this project, your measurements will need to be exact to your specs, not from someone else's.
I wouldn't look to Marty for much help because he plans on selling his kit for a living, to make money to provide for his family. So for him to spill all the beans, give you all his measurements, would be like giving money away almost. He wants you to buy his kit when he releases it, not use his kit info to work for yours for free.
I can't blame him. If I was selling jeep parts, I wouldn't give out my build info. I'd display Troy's and Ted's as a way to sell my goods.
The stuff that is custom done, is just that, custom. Unless you do your kit exactly the same way that OHV, JJ or I did ours, then our measurements won't really work for you. Driveline measurements and brake lines might work, but custom work is custom, not cookie cutter. I found that out from talking to JJ and Ohv many many times over. Their builds are different so they didn't work for me.
When I get my jeep, I'll be glad to give you specific measurements of specific parts, but the stuff you asked for in this thread can be done by going out to the jeep with a tape measure. Hope all that made sense.
