The boss man is out of town, so I had to plow the drive to get to the shop. Most of it was about 2-3 feet from the wind drifting. Got to use the blower on the tractor though, so it was fun.
Grabbed some bumper parts as well. Will finish this during the week at the school's shop since I have some time.
Got limit straps in.
Bent the sway bar arms for a little more clearance.
Custom short swaybar links.
Bar in
Links in.
Brake lines. I love bending brake lines. So much fun.

Got a few 25' rolls of 3/16 on Summit. Don't remember the brand.
A good tube roller/straightner and a nice set of bending pliers makes the job a lot easier. I also grabbed the spare hydraulic flaring tool from the shop.

Thanks!
I'm feeling the cruise moab pressure, and I'm not sure if I'm going to make it. Lots of stuff planned for the summer as well, but that will be mostly interior and visual improvements. No more drivetrain changes hopefully lol.
Sounds like you are reading from my list of to-do's. lol. I will be moving onto some interior parts as well...
It has been a great help seeing you redo your 4 link setup just a couple weeks ahead of me!! A big thank you for awesome pics and being able to chat ideas!!

I have several small things left to do, hoping to be done with everything by next weekend and will send to exhaust, done in time for cruise moab.
I love this front bumper. I’m bookmarking this for later reference. I have something similar on the drawing board.
What I really want to know is how you got 10 pictures into one reply

Got the annoying parts of the bumper out of the way this week as well.
Wrapping the corners is a pain in the balls, and I wanted to do something different than the usual work style.
Much more agressive corner mutliation lol.
Done
Pretty happy with the way the corners ended up.
