what springs are you going to use out front there? looking good, hopefully will be on hte trail soon.

I'm not exactly sure -- something from the used parts bin.  They look like 4" lift XJ stuff.  If they don't work out the way I want, I also have a couple sets of early Bronco springs laying around to try.  For me, it is almost always trial and error until I find a good combo that does what I want.  I'm sure Jeremy and Max can hook me up with whatever I need if what I have doesn't work.  Just sit down with the parts book and get ordering!

That's cool, just curious

sounds like this project is gonna be on hold

[glfredrick]

Well...  Actually, the project might have to be accelerated.  Especially if it has to be in rolling condition for a potential switch in addresses.   

Welding party at Guy's house!

I'M IN YOU BUY THE BUD LIGHT!!!! I'LL BRING GLOVES, HELMET, WORK CLOTHES, ETC. LOL.

Man...  Now I have to decide if it is cheaper to just farm the work out to a competing shop...     What DOES a truck-load of Bud Light cost these days?  I'm out of the loop.

Got a little work done...





Now, I can start putting everything else together.  Have to get creative with cab mounts, some stuff is different on the extended cab, and I'm dropping it on a regular cab frame.  Also had to ditch the factory fuel tank -- back of the cab was hitting it hard.  That's okay, as it would have been torn up by the rocks anyway.  Time for a cell or frame-rail tank with skid protection.  Otherwise, things are working out pretty well.
