I bought some parts to turn my drill press into a milling machine. It actually works. I'm damn happy with the results. So I milled the inner C's for Nick's D44 front axle and fit them to the axle tubes today. Set the caster and pinion angle and started fitting the axle to the chassis. Control arms are cut and ready to weld in, Nick got the FOA shocks from Chuck (THANKS CHUCK)! We put the springs on the rear shocks and now Nick has 27 inches of ground clearance at the bottom of the frame I think I'll install a Chair Lift so he can get in the damn thing...
He also got the axles for the front, and we landed the WMS right 61 inches to match the rear 8.8. Just need some Hubs/unit bearings and we are shittin in tall cotton up front. Also now have the steering box, steering wheel and sector shaft so the steering will get done, we can get some wheels on this thing and call it a roller.
Starting the axle build

Full droop, or full ride height? You decide...

I'll be rebuilding the FOA shocks and making CA mounts this week. Update with pics to come...
