Here we go again.

[RAT]

kurt its coming along nicely. looks trail proof. buti have one question. are u gonna paint over that burgundy body. u dont look like a burgundy type of guy especially with the blue add- ons.

What are ya tryin ta say? You don't like the color of the RAT? You should have seen it when it was new; It would make you cry to see how far this Jeep has fallen. It was so pretty it caught my eye going 50 down Beach Blvd. I have thought of changing the color, but the only two I like are Desert Buff and Camo Green. Not sure I'm ready to go there yet.

Looking good Kurt. Your getting closer.

Thanks Chuck, and right back at ya. Do you have a date starting to form in your mind for completion of yours? I'm really tentative, but I think I have this done by May first. Doh!:homer: Now I'm cursed!

The flex is pretty nice. I get all 14" of travel out of the shocks without contact, binding or interference of any kind.

awesome! whats the overall wheelbase at? Doesnt look like you had to trim the fenders much, but probably hasnt been flexed out yet... cage done too?

101 inches, but the rear axle still needs to move back a couple of inches. No big deal there.

Looking good dude!
What spring rates are you starting out with?

What pitman arm is that?

edit-

what is your up-travel front and rear? Looks like 7~ or so... Will kick ass in the whoops if you get the springs and valving dialed in.

200/300 rear, 250/300 front. 7up, 7 down.
stock pitman for now, but have to get that tie rod back down to Earth, so I'll use the drop piman that I bought a while back but never installed. May flip the tie rod to the top on the driver side too.

Looks good, glad to see it coming together.

Had a similar conversation with Blaine about a pitman arm on a different jeep.
Be sure to drop the trac bar to match the pitman arm.

Looking great man.
