Then came Panamint Valley Days 2020. This is where my problems got worse.

This lead to these!

Well since I'm always trying to plan ahead for future possibilities and not one to shy away from a challenge. It was time to start cutting away again.. While trying to keep my lift minimal and gain some upward travel back I knew I would have to do what few before us did.

Took out the hard bump spacer and coil to cycle the suspension. Looks like regardless of the wheel well spacing im still going to require 1.25-1.5 spacers to keep the shocks from bottoming out.

Ordered up 2 sets of 40 inch wheel tubs from. Summit racing to aid my project. 1st was to mark my line's then start making my cuts. Definitely nerve racking knowing there is no turning back from this once you start.

A few more from inside.

Onto the Drivers side, and the fuel neck.

Using some cardboard to mock it up.

Time for the sheet metal.

The drivers side and filler neck.

Home stretch now. Just needs some body sealer, prime, paint, and some bed liner. Happy everything still works with my storage drawers.

 

[mazder]

Look at all the extra room for potential!

Finished my frame over exhaust and trimming of my 4x4labs bumper and Metaltech4x4 sliders.

damnnn now that's cutting. jeez


Do you have body lift to make that exhaust routing fit? how did you get it to squeeze in between if you don't have a BL?

 

[baldilocks]

Good job man! I appreciate your philosophy of many visual aides and few words.

No body lift, just some careful manipulation.

Pics are good. Helps me figure out what others have done and what is possible and gives me ideas how to do mine or make it better!
