too bad it didnt have an engine in it when you guys got it. you could've done some wakeboarding behind it while driving on the beach. you might as well have madeuse of the tower that was bolted to it.:wtf: :scratchhead:

i think it is a pretty cool build up. what front springs are you running? did you make your spring perch's up front? seams like the front axle is moved way forward? also why is this thing so tall? drop it a good 4 inch's you will be much happier when you are out on the trail:stirpot:

on second thought i have the alpro X member slitly modiefied with skid plate for $150 no bushings or bolts and you will have to fab up your own brackets to bolt it to the frame:awesomework:

we got the crossmember already so too late to change wish i could. The front hanger we got from the rental after he linked is he didn't need it dose look far forward the hanger moves it 2'' and the 2wd frame we got sticks out just past the body that helps. They are ''wagy'' of front bought them from someone on here and thought they had alot of ark that just haven't flattin yet now i think they may be 2'' lift or something like that so it is high for now going to link it then we can take it down abit

also i hope the front sets down after the motor and trans get in tomorrow.
Now somethings bad things about 2wd rigs there is no u joint in the steering shaft so going to use the 4wd, brake booster and cylinder are smaller so going to switch that, the steering box is weaker so now using that, the frame jigs don't work i used the pattern that is it they don't line up right.
the good the back was a straight bolt up it gave a got angle on the cantilevers from downey offroad, there crossmember between the frame rails so when i cut it off it will look way cleaner it seems to rise alittle quicker so more room for up travel
