You probably already solved it but I’ve put roughly a 5 degree bend in all the front pan hard bars I’ve done, just to clear the differential cover. Chock it up in a tube bender and give it a little push

Not a whole lot going on with the build. I have't worked on ole lockjaw in about five months. Had a lot of other things going on. My sons 92 Toyota pickup had a blown headgasket and the head had a crack in it. My daughters VW Tiguan need a ton of work on it. I've got a few other projects that I've been working on.

Going a different route on the 40 project. Anyone interested in a rolling chassis minus the coil overs

To be honest, I lost interest in the current state of the project. Keeping the stretched body and plan on putting it on a Fj80 rolling chassis

Good deal. Do you need an 80 rolling chassis? I have one in Oklahoma City but I’m going to Gatlinburg, TN in a week…I could always throw it on a trailer and bring it to you haha

I’ve got a friend that has a 97 model that was in a roll over. It’s a complete truck. Waiting to hear back from him.
