Since your going with links, do you need to off load the front bilsteins? I killed my 9000's last weekend. Looking good. Looking forward to seeing the front snubbed.

Looks good. Just one thing to add. I would put some type of bushing on the mounts for the fuel cell if there isn't one already. Aluminum tanks are prone to crack under flex. The smell of gas all day long sux!
Veryride!
That's a good call, Thanks.
Right now there are a number of things that are just kind of thrown together to get it rolling and on a trailer so it can get to Ed's.

Thanks, it's been a long haul and a much bigger project that I originally planned on. But tonight as I finished getting a bunch of little things done so I could drive it on to a trailer - I stepped back for the first time in a long time and was pretty happy with the outcome.
Tomorrow - it goes on a trailer. Front wheel drive and rear wheel brakes. and phase 2 of this project begins. Since Ed will be doing all of the work - I should have a lot more time for pictures... and drinking and smoking cigars

He is only linking the rear right now...............
Gunmetal, get some shocks for the front that can be converted to coilovers later. That is what I did, helped with the costs when I went to coilovers.

Ready to start the links!! Have all of the parts.
Here's a couple of pictures of the components. The HyperJoints are a prototype from Mark Hawley @ Metaltech. http://metaltech4x4.com/index.htm. Very cool design! Mark put a lot of research int to these - including passing the design by Tom @ Sunray to make sure he had no "copy" issues. They look similar but there are key differences.
Ed and I will Start the 4 link tonight - the pictures will start flowing again!
