A little more than two months 'til the Pig Party, Pat. You can do it!

New front link mounting point on frame done.

 

[landcruisnman]

This is on its own weight. Ride height. I’ll adjust down a little more...

 

[DomSmith]

Looks good Pat!

 

[DomSmith]

What are you’re plans for the front bumper?

 

[landcruisnman]

Some sort of plate/tube custom with the 10k Warn I’ve got. Some lights. Not quite sure yet.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Are you going to use hydraulic shocks for the hood?

 

[landcruisnman]

I think I'll keep that hood rod original. Maybe. We'll have to see. Being at the point where I need to decide that, things will be good!!

 

[landcruisnman]

Limit straps..had to limit some travel to keep driveline from binding

 

[Ol Yeller]

Full race

 

[landcruisnman]

Think we’ve got space for the Currie Anti-Rock Sway Bar. These links going to axle look a little weak. I’ll be making beefier ones once we determine the length..

Had to open up wheel well to clear arm, but now we’re going to build and arm rest with cup holder in it since we need to do some sheet metal work anyway. Keeping the passengers happy since 1971!!!

 

[DomSmith]

Oh damns! That’s stuffed.

Are you going to hit the front wheel well?

 

[DomSmith]

Cup holders on the side near the door? I like it.

 

[landcruisnman]

Won’t hit wheel well. The 35s tuck nicely.

 

[landcruisnman]

Got cover pc mocked up. Seat fits pretty well. I’ll make sure to radius all edges. Gonna take a pc of tubing to make the cup holder pocket.. link mounted to lower arm instead of axle.
