Couple of weeks

That would be right on time for Tin Benders. I'm signed up to run Spooners. I'm just say'n.

[aw12345]

You'll ace Spooners no worries, would not do an organized run with an untested rig

Well even for us it's a fall day

Is your steering ram, behind your axle?

[aw12345]

It's in front and pretty well protected Sits on plate and a piece of 1.5" 1/4" wall dom, Damned near broke the bender bending this stuff

[Tumbleweed13]

in that last pic, it looks like a ram, on the far right. Same side as the control arms going into the axle. What am I not seeing right?

[aw12345]

The ram sits pretty high, you are seeing it over the axle tube

[aw12345]

Tinkered some more with the engine and trans skid, looks like clearance issues are worked out.

I hope you get it done and out on the trail like you want Art. Always a great feeling to get a project on the rocks. Looking good my friend.
