Housings are back, 3.73 gears set up with Eaton TruTrac out back.
Made new 1" offset spring perches and modified the front PS casting. Set the caster up a little as well.
New Spicer cast covers installed.
Will get these built out next...
My goal is to fit as much as I can behind this door, so I have as much with me if I need it as possible. The upper compartment I am going to dedicate to spare parts.
Goals:
Door closes
Kit secured by strap
No rattles
I've come up with this...
Time to try it out
So I drove it another 2000 mile round trip to Colorado to do the red cone trail and some others
Here is a little video we did while we are out there

You guys and a few others I know have recommended the weld-a-nut method, so $170 later, I have one brand new mini welder sitting in the garage along with the hood and gloves. I needed one for another project anyway so this was as good of an...
I'm a bit slow :), so these would bolt on thru the rim and thru the spacer and faster to the original studs? If so, this is exactly what I'm looking for!!
Guess I'll be the gunnie pig... mine is coming Saturday. my windows aren't super slow right now, with the warm weather, but all but halt in the winter and need help getting past about half way.
Austin is local to me and while I haven't met...
