A bunch of progress has been done on this but here's the pics. Cycling the suspension. The ****ty pics are a camera phone. I'll get detailed pics later
Since the last update. Cage, hydro, bumps, and everything else have been done.

I also started on the crossmember. This is all I did before I didn't want to do anything else
not many too updates today. I used some brackets I had laying around to start the front of this thing. My lower link brackets never showed so I am waiting on those. Here's some stuff that I'm mocking up. Yes I will be using pvc pipe it's super strong and flexable! :flipoff:
passenger side will...
wheeling is pretty good down here. You just need to know where to go. A bunch of trails near town are being closed. They keep building houses right up to the mountain.
well did a few things lately. Went from some 14" coilovers to the 17" Bilstein coilovers I had laying around.
rear driveshaft, 1410 yoke
new upper shock mount
new axle coilover mounts.
picked up a lokar shifter. Not sure if I like it yet but we'll see what happens
and just a little...
some small updates. Not much.
Messing with the ride height
This is full droop. 14" coilovers
another shot of the rear
mounted the tank again.
overall shot. wheelbase 115"
hell yeah the cops stopped us working on it. you know cutting wires with wire cutters gets pretty loud. Nevermind the guys hot rod down the street reving in the garage with cutouts. :flipoff:
yeah and the ****ting thing is I found it for him and didn't have the cash at the time. so he picked it up.
Yeah we have to make the holes bigger for the coilovers. We still have some work to do on it
some update for the weekend. Finished the rear suspension. 14" coilovers. need to get different spring rates and then I'll be set.
coilover mounts. Used 1/2 misalignment spacers for the coilovers
axle mounts
the rear axle done except for brake lines and driveshaft.
ride height

some updates over the weekend. Cut all the old 4 link stuff off and redid it. Move the axle back as well.
lower axle mount
Upper and lower frame mount.
finished pic of the rear
this is at full bump
just screwing around with the movement of the links. Maybe this should be the new...
yeah flux core. Sorry the pics are ****ty. The camera is at work and I'm not going there when I don't have to. I'll get some better pics up next week.
there are the only other pics I have til I get my camera.
I also got a box of brackets for the front 3 link and a ifs toy box tapped for hydro...
I also got a box of brackets for the front 3 link and a ifs toy box tapped for hydro for $100
Better pic of the rear truss without the bracing. I'm watching football and not working right now.
The rear at full bump
Picked up 2 sets of 17" Bilstein coilovers. $600 for all 4. 2 are emulsion with dual rate and 2 are resevoir with dual rate and coils.
Also picked up four 4" fox bumps with cans for $200
Completed most of the truss. just going to add some braces and also tie the truss the the pinion bolt...
Started to take the 60 apart. Don't forget to hit the pin out on the bottom side of the caliper to get the caliper off. Don't just hit the damn thing for an hour thinking what the hell am I missing.
and then once you get it off it looks like this in no time. Just a 100 pound rotor and hub...
I didn't really do anything on this this. I flexed it to see if I was going to have any problems with anything.
Here's the final approach angle.
Some flex pictures.
The coil poped out. I need some coil retainers so I will be redoing the rear coil buckets.
