Yea man, not a problem. I'll PM you my number, you can call or text me what you need. I'll swing them by and check out the rig.

Thanks for the surplus info...Hadn't heard of it.

Nice work man I'm glad I found this website nice work

very nice work keep it up

Got a few hours to work on this thing this past week and got a few things done

Started by making upper front link mounts that fit where I need it to keep the geometry correct

Looking good! Those upper link mounts are stout. Don't see too many mounts boxed all the way around like that.

You are going to be dangerous in the rig. Looks good man keep it up.
At full twist will the uppers clear the frame?

Thanks I tend to over build things sometimes but i really want a rig that I can abuse and drive back on the trailer

I have never saw you drive hard in anything! And I have rode with you a lot.........................................................

Haha you never leave Franklin county i did see your brother this weekend his rig was looking go.

You are dangerous in your jeep, you are going to be a menace to society in this thing! Looks good man. You have a finish date you are shooting for?

Re:

Think you will be out of the weight limit for the yota wrecker, if you rip the front end of it. Lol

Yea I am hoping to be done by the time my little girl goes to school she is about to be one so that gives me s few years I don't get much time to work on it maybe a few hours a week so if I can get it done in a year or so I will be happy

Got s few things knocked last night got front shock hoops in and got the mounts in as well..... The Shock mounts look pretty simple but there was a lot of work to get it to fit in the hoop like I wanted (hopefully it will protect the shock in a bad rollover) and have full range of motion on the shock eye after some failed tries with flat steel I realized that I could overcome the compound angle problems I was running into by using some bent/rolled steel stock and even though it took 6 hours I was very happy with the final outcome. This was the first real test to see the shock travel and suspension motion and I was very please. Ride height will be 20 inch belly with 16inch coilovers front and rear at ride height it has total of 10 1/2 inch up travel and 3 inch air bumps should make for a smooth ride but might need a sway bar in the rear to help balance it out. Also got started on motor mounts and drivetrain mounts.

""Golf clap"" way to go.
I went through the exact same thing and gave up and did standard mounts. I always said I would go beck and redo them. I think I did it 3 different times.

I still got a few feet of this rolled plate you are welcome to it I couldn't believe how much it helped the angles
