At the moment of typing this I'm tinkering with the 60 dash. Test fitting, measuring, and a lot of standing around staring while thinking of future electrical connections that might need to be accessed.
Pulled the bed off, hopefully for the last time. Welded in some support channels under the floor, hit it with some primer and then seam sealer. I’ll spray the center section with Steel It and put it back on for final welding.
Also finished...
Maybe, I have 3/8" rod I was going to use for that purpose but the top edge of the Aqualu door is heavily rounded so there's not a great way to attach an upper structure to it. I have 3/16" sheets of aluminum I was planning on cutting to make...

Rear frame is pretty much done. I'm going to add an inside the frame panhard bracket on the passenger side just in case I end up needing it. It's sitting very low in the rear because the jack pivot point is letting the coilovers jack up the...

Got the old spring perches off and the truss tac'd on the axle to start figuring out where the springs are going to live.
Unfortunately I have a lot of rust repair to do on...
Selling both sets of doors as I update my rig to the later model. The full doors I bought used and they had some bondo on them but were pretty nice. I sprayed the outside with Raptor liner and ran them for several years. They will NOT come...
