Found a home for the locker compressor.

Got my rear coilover towers in today. Need to do some patch work on the frame where my old bump cans were at. Also need to fill the tub in before welding the tower in.

[dr.dirty]

LEt me start by saying this was the worst part of this entire build and i still have the other side to do I really really really hate working with sheet metal.

[dr.dirty]

Finished up the rear towers. I need to order some resi mounts and paint it all up. But FINALLY she stood on her own feet





Also finished up welding the rear truss, lcas........

Com,ing along nicely Scott, starting to look all grown up

[dr.dirty]

Rear is done minus new brake lines.

This is whats left to do:

Drill pitman arm for #/4 bolt

Trim front fenders

Replace rear brake lines

New front drive shaft

Adjust and tighten all control arm Joints

Go over and recheck all fasteners

Add gear Fluid

So its getting really close to being finished



VKS Fab 14 bolt tone rings pressed on the hubs





Rear all prettied up




Rear full bump





All buttoned up



The rear sits a tad high because I dont have the spare on at the moment and all my trail crap in the back

That's one bad ass 4 door

Out of curiousity, what are the coil rates front and rear?

[RAT]

Looks good. When are we gonna go scratch it?

[dr.dirty]

still have some things to work out Kurt. but hopefully soon

[dr.dirty]

Do you guys see an issue running a one inch wheel spacer on my 14 bolt to get it the same WMS as my front dana 60?

I used the longer dorman studs and they are 2 3/8 left from the WMS.







these are what I would run. I would knock the studs out that come with them and just slide them over the existing studs.







Thoughts?

[aw12345]

You can run those spacers no problem, I did for awhile.

[dirtman13]

Why do you want spacers? When doing my build I remember reading that having a wider front axle was a good thing. Improved turn or something like that.

[dr.dirty]

Yeah I know thats why the rear is narrower so the rear wheels follow the front better but I just thought that 4.25 was really narrow. Ill leave it be for now and see how goofy it looks
