I went down the other day to pick up some parts and the rear suspension looks incredible. They've done a great job of fabbing everything to be strong as hell, and also be adjustable and configurable depending on load.
While I was there they were cutting off the front axle and suspension to get started on the front end design. Right now the plan is to get that done, button up both the front and back end for polish, and then I drive it for a little while to make sure it's all set up properly.
Justin and I discussed it and we decided that it's probably better to leave the stock steering in place for a while. When I install the 1hz I just obtained from japan we can add power steering because the pump is already incorporated. Sourcing all of the parts to put power steering on a 2B would be wasted considering the pending engine swap. Also, with a tight fit of the 1hz it's better to do both the air conditioning and the power steering at the same time as the swap.
Justin is slammed right now with a ton of new work. He's got some great projects coming up. I know he will get some pictures up on my rig pretty soon but I'm sure he wants to get everything looking really sharp before he does.
Also, I know people are going to ask... The engine swap will be a 1HZ paired with an H55 and split a case from a 70 series replacing the 2B/H55 in there now. I also already have the 40 series top cover on the current H55 so everything should line up beautifully. I am also working with Graeme from GTurbo to get one of his incredible turbos on this thing.
