[QUOTE="Pook, post: 1201042, member: 16813"] Finally got my work projects done and now I can get this thing finished up. Swapped out the transmission pan for a shallow one (still need to dent it a bit more for link clearance at full stuff, made some motor mounts, machined up a tcase mount. New pan let me move the motor farther back and allowed me to lower everything in the chassis another 1". With the tcase mounted I then made up some of the seat mounts, still need to finish the inside seats mounts once I get a few more parts installed. Mocked up all the links, only had one set of links for mock up, so the front set is missing in the pics. Got the measurments I need so I'll be machining up the aluminum in the next day or two to make the real links. Currently looking like I'll be able to have 5" up travel in the front and 6" in back at ride height. Could push for a bit more but its not really needed for what I'm building for. Worse case if I ever get the KOH bug I'll just raise the belly a couple inches and run some different shocks. Started fabricating some plating for the front upper link mount, going to drag it to my dad's shop to through in the powdercoating oven to preheat it before I arc weld it all up. Should be a roller by the weekend...maybe sooner. [/QUOTE]
