coilover stretch

itchin' to wheel, Vern.
the house is close, but not quite finished. just needed a break from the construction hell.

Little grease and weld smell will fix you right up Erik. Whens the project going to be completed? (the jeep of course)?

Ya the need to wheel is a calling!

Erik,

I was hoping that you were doing this at Blaines place so I could drop in and see it live! From the pics, looks like it's NOT at Blaines. Blaine lives MUCH closer to me than you do! Good luck with it, and keep throwin' the pics up here! :thumbs_up

here are a few more pics of the past weekends efforts.

this shot shows the control arm angle at full stuff.


this shot is showing the drivers side axle stuffed in there. there is still 1/2" of shock left to go up at this point.



this is the passenger side that is drooped out while the drivers side is stuffed.
there is still almost an inch of droop before the end of the shock.



this shot offers a peak at the truss for the upper control arm.



there was a lot of progress made this weekend.
the steering box will be moved over an inch forward, and about 1.5" up.
i will utilize a flat pitman arm for the new steering design.

overall, the front axle has moved forward apx. 2.5". with the rear moving back, i expect the 100" mark wont be too difficult to get.

That's not Erik's garage. I've seen it.

The master of that garage has it so organized, it's scary!

thank you, guys.
t is taking shape. there is a lot to it. i am sure glad i am not trying to tackle this by myself. it would be an abortion

Hey Erik,
Yes, the brakes are amazing! I get a new appreciation for them every time I drive my wife's Montero, and then get back into the Jeep.

I saw your rig again late last week...looking really good. How about an update for everyone?! By the way, I think you have a scratch in your paint...

Very cool Erik.

I'll be taking a peek at it this Sunday & perhaps take a few "spy pics". :shades:

[steelman]

ERIK! Get this thing done!

(It looks amazing, by the way!)
