Old 8.8 out, new 9" stripped of brackets, and installed, sitting in its own weight.

I'm really liking the direction this is going.[/QUOTE]
Radius arms tacked together, radius arm mounts mocked up, rear tires on at ride height, love the stance.

Got some time in on the x, getting closer to wrapping the major things up.


Fit and plated the frame for the spring bucket

How I'm thinking of putting them

Gonna use the factory skid plate as a connecting removable crossmember thingy

Now, I need to decide if having the joint turned on an angle inside the mount is going to be an issue. I think it will be alright, but I'm gonna think on it for a day.

So most of this has taken place since december. :)
 
Haha, I forgot I have my old screen name still in here. I had it changed in Greatlakes....:D
 
Are those just TWF wheels and guard dog tires?
 
The new wheels are 37" Mtr's on blue powdercoated rims with some DIY beadlocks.
The old ones were stock Ranja teardrops with guard dogs.
 
Lifts done. :)

So KyleM took it to wheel last week...
I have yet to do so....lol
Carnage included 1 popped coil. (No retainer)
Lots of scratches a few small dents and a broken bug guard.
Things it needs done now are.
1 banjo bolt washer for a leaking caliper line in the front. A new set of shackles(rusty) and something in the front drivers driveline is making a noise. Either bearing, lockout, or u-joint.
Also needs some 1 inch square stock to make some sliders for the top and bottom of the side windows as I'm not sure how he didn't bust one rubbing on a tree like he did.

got some catching up to do....
So before I got a chance to truly wheel this thing the motor unexpectedly developed a knock.
so now i've got to change it again.
It does flex nicely though.

so my first time actually "wheeling" this thing was at a comp last week. I had a slight issue with my rear bumper departure angle. 45degree slab climb + 20 or so degrees of decline into the pit where the slabs were made for problems.
I got hung up good, couldn't finish. had a helluva time with the rest of my CTOR brethren.
