I got a lot done today mocked everything up and cycled the suspention to watch for binding. Noticed i have a ton of flex and i need to attach the tops of the coils

 

[lostsamurai]

Then we finished welding and tightened all the bolts, made brackets to hold the coils in the upper buckets, zip tied ( for now ) the brake lines. And did some wheelin

love this picture!
tomorrow ill finish the front driveline and put the shocks on. Then a trip to 3 peaks for the real test!
