As for the back seat, its out most of the time so its easier to throw surfboards in the back, but for just about every trip it gets thrown back in for my girlfriend to sleep on the 10 hour trip north to tellico, my co-polit/spotter is also known to sleep the whole way up...he has been since labled "Rip"... |

Also the rear lifted about an 1inch with the roof off. I hope the weight of a cage and the thrashing from a good offroad trip will flatten it out. |

have you thought about moving your rear shackle mounts to the back side of the rear bumper? that could lower you ~1/2 inch...not sure if that's enough gain to worry about but it's at least something, and wouldn't be that hard to do since you're already chopping the frame and you'll need to fab up a new rear bumper/xmember. malphrus __________________ jonathan malphrus -- 72fj40 the only pinstriping i'll ever have on my cruiser will be after i hit a ny yankee 'these are my awards, mother, from army. the seal is for marksmanship and the gorilla is for sand racing.' ...build-up here (stalled)... |

72 Im not all that worried about it, Once I pile in 1500 lbs of gear and my best bud and my girlfriend im sure they will settle in some after 1400 mile trip and some good flexin at tellico...
Started the front of the exo today, Making compound bends on the first shot is more than challenging for a first timer with the tubing bender. Ill grab some pics sometime or other...  -Al |

got parts
|
judging by the cut, you must have a large square of velveeta laying around
wrap it up in cellophane so as not to spoil..... __________________ Kina NorthCountryLandCruisers |
