Does anyone know of or have a dimensioned drawing for the JK axle brackets?

I'm building a JK framed AEV Brute on a set of PortalTek G3's and am working out where to burn the brackets on. I'll steal a JK and pull measurements, but a drawing would be even better

Here's the build if anyone is curious how that all comes together :cwm13:

And this I what I'm mocking up... stripped the 3/4 link brackets and going to JK geometry.

Forgot to mention that I've got a set of Torq brackets sitting here cut for 3.5" tubes. Hence the need for the drawing

Very Nice. I can understand doing the JK stock 4-link set-up in the front (maybe long-arm?) but, why not do the TJ rear mounted gas tank and do a dbl triangulated 4-link?
I'll measure the stock axles and put it on paper.

Thanks!
I had a lot of discussion with both AEV and Drew Burroughs of Goatbuilt thinking that I'd do a 3 link front/triangulated rear. After a lot of convincing both parties sold me on trying the JK geometry first. It's not a rock crawler, it's a go everywhere from Moab to Alaska and drive it rig.

I do forsee it getting a set of MetalCloaks arms once I finalize the axle placement though. We'll see how it handles, if all fails we'll rework it.

I'm going with the JK tank because I have a rear mounted winch on the Brute frame I want to keep:

One more bump...

Maybe hit up Currie or Dynatrac... ?
