The only other thing I want to do is raise my axle side coil over mounts 1 1/2 inches. This will give me an additional 1.5 down travel and put me back at 4 inches of up . I have the mounts just need to do it .

This also allowed me to push my axle forward an additional 3/4 of an inch giving me the clearance I needed . It worked before but was so close to the bolt head on the panhard bar that it actually would rub . Just barely

No Wallered holes . Yes i use weld washers . put your magnifying glass down and go finish your rear link set up

I’m not even sure which post you two are talking about. That must be one good magnifying glass.

@Firemedic831, did you get your shag carpet in yet? How is the headliner going?

No shag yet . I had seen where someone used suede and i thought it looked good . I am thinking i may try that but add red stiching ? We will see i have a bunch of other things i want to do first .

I do weld them at the fixed points but were they are adjustable I do not .

 

[Firemedic831]

So to answer your question yes I weld them. But like my upper link mounts on the rear frame side No

well no duh, I was asking about that new front mount cause they were not glued in any pics.

So I seen AVR made some brackets to mount some lights . So I ordered a set . Very complete kit . . They are made to mount on the bottom side. But on mine I could not do that . 1 my lights hit on the hinge that way and 2 I would not be able to use my mirrors. I can’t really see out of them anyways but that’s not the point . So I flipped them and put them on the top side . This allows me to use my mirrors and my light does not hit. And I can still fold my windshield down if I wanted .

Well like everything on this thing. You try and make one thing nice and that leads to having to make 47 others things nice . So I wanted to do 2 things. . 1 run the wires for the lights . And 2 I had the pieces that go over the doors powder coated . I took the pieces off my extra top . Well today I dove in and quickly learned that the pieces did not want to come off . Who ever put them on glue and siliconed them on . . Well after getting 1 off I learned the the drip rail was some home made aluminum piece of junk . I knew it had some funny little trim piece on top but never really thought much about it . So this project escalated fast . . I looked at the spare top and it is good but it had been painted and the paint was a real mess . So I said f it and pulled my top completely off ( I needed to do it anyways to pull my cage out ) but I kinda didn’t really want to do it even though I needed to . I also pulled my doors. . Then I started in on the new top . I think I am just going to run it with no top and doors for the summer and just do the top right . I don’t think it looks bad with no doors . I do have the half doors I could paint and put the graffix on I guess
