Landcruiserman,

Nice! Your wagon sure has evolved since you went to the prom in it. I would love to take a ride in it, someday.

Ron,
I'd love to take a ride in it someday too!!!!!! If I ever get it done, which I will if it takes my last breath, I'll hit up Moab for sure....
Yours is coming along nicely. I can't wait to get to the stages that you're at. Putting together all the nice clean new stuff. That's the really fun part. How far are you from firing that bad boy up?

I'm counting on this Summer. Right after the paint, it gets wired. I've a long way to go, but I want to hear it run! We want to get back to Moab, but not in the flatbed and trailer.

 

[landcruisnman]

Exactly. I want to make the drive.......piggy style. Post a video once you fire it up.

 

[landcruisnman]

Front tires fit also......checking for clearance for steering arms.....Full bump front and back...

Rear Cantilever idea is coming together. On paper it looks like around 16"-18" of travel using a 10" Coil-over.
My rear cross-member was pretty bad, so I'll incorporate a new one into the rear shock mount....going to be fun doing this crazy sh**...

 

[Delancy]

Impressive. Can't wait to see it come together, considering what they've done so far.

 

[npulver]

Wow, didnt really know anything about the Rear Cantilever setups. Super impressive like Delancy said. Really interested to see how this comes together. What type of shock are you planning on using?

 

[landcruisnman]

I'm going with King Shocks since we have an in with them.....save some money and great shocks...

 

[Delancy]

King Shocks .....save some money...

Not typical in one breath....haha.

Great shocks.

Got my hinges all rebuilt from James (Midgainc) and they are awesome. Between those and the couple of NOS hinges I had saved up. I'm good for door and hood install when the time comes. Working on the rig this week some and should have some kind of update......

 

[xtiaan2000]

Nice! I was wondering when we were gonna get an update!
