Looks good
thank you
the cutting I have done so far was only a 1/4" , and that was enough to keep it from rubbing going around a turn.
I have stared at the rear wheel wells trying to figure out the best line to cut on, cant find anything I like yet.
but when I have something worth taking a picture of i will
You MOAB bound with the 60?

performed awesome, If I had some more seat time in it I would have pushed it a little harder. But for what I felt comfortable doing it had no problems.
broke a rear brake line again and had no rear locker on pritchett
only ran two trails, pritchett and Behind the rocks. Saturday we farted around Moab checking things out.
next time I make it out I'll spend a week at least in Moab, way to much to see.

sorry no Moab pictures at this time.
little bit of an update on the shocks
changed my mind on running the timberman(sp) bumps when I found out the price. so I went with what a couple of guys are running on their coilovers...TJ bump stops. On the 5125's I got from Marlin the end unscrews and comes apart. so just drilled a hole through the bump and slid it over the shaft on the shock.
so far no complaints
the bumps compress a good 2"s and being as close as there are to the body of the shock there seems to be no need for a sway bar. the ride is firm but not at all rough.
for the rear I had to move the shock mounts back 2"s because I moved the axle back 2"s. this is what i came up with...2X2" square stock, I drilled a couple of holes in it so I could play with the shock angle if I wanted to. the way its set up is I welded the tube to the factory crossmember and run the bolt through the shock into the tube. I welded some thin pieces of 14ga to some nuts to grab the bolts from inside the tube.
then for the lower mounts I welded a nut to the axle housing and bent some 10ga and welded it also.
kinda ghetto...but it was 2:30 in the morning the day I was leaving for Moab.

I had the guys down @ Marlin Crawler build me the crossmember. I could have done it...but It was worth it not to... when its up to me to fab something it tends to get a little ghetto.
anyways here's what Rocky came up with
