[QUOTE="slravenel, post: 741200, member: 1068"] Made a little more headway this weekend, getting closer and closer to being a roller. Should be able to roll it out under its own weight after a little welding! Got the steering set up where it will be so we could finalize full bump and get the final lower shock tabs cut out. As it sits, we will have ~7.5" of uptravel in the front when at ride height. Its not as much as the rear obviously, but its going to be more than enough to get a really well tuned suspension setup working great. We are using builder parts from WOD on the front axle that were supplied by the customer, and I've got to say...they build some stuff that makes some real pain in the ass jobs A LOT easier. You can also see the swapped over upper truss tabs, so the front 4 link is completely done now. [ATTACH type="full"]114469[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]114470[/ATTACH] Then we moved over to get started on the interior layout. We played a bit with seat mounting locations and with this buggy being 57" wide we are learning to love the luxury of having so much room inside for options :rolf: There will be no lack of space in there and with the doghouse and console in there everything should be within reach easily and the big holley EFI screen will be front and center.
