More pictures........
These are just testing out the suspension system. Very Poser, no front driveline so I wasn't able to get the full benefit of the springs. These shots do give some idea of how she will be on trail though.

Got the Front Driveline today....
Picked up the Front Driveshaft today! I couldn't wait to get it home and put her in! I took the 'dust shield' off that goes around the CV Joint on the trasfercase side of the driveline. I wasn't sure if the droop would be too much and cause the DS damage.
Might take it out to the river tomorrow! I took the day off to spend with the Wife for our anniversary, going to see if she wants to go out and do some wheelin!

You say that now, it will change. I am putting my diffs on hold for at least another week because I need to put a clutch in my DD. I was looking at doing it in my garage but friggin' Saabs are NUTS!!!

I got it to a point where I am happy. I hope that doesn't just last like a couple weeks. The only thing left is Gears, installing the Lockers and building some front & rear bumpers.
The immediate future is fixing the A/C and possibly the Alternator.

It's a 12" Slip Yoke, they built it up with the new slip and also grinded down the CV for better clearance. The DS works like a dream! No bind at all! Here are some pictures testing it out......I love the 33"'s on there - they make all the difference in the world!!
These were some pictures taken out at 'Needle Rock' at the Verde River.

Nice Rig!
How are those MV-12's doing im very interested in putting those on my 84 pickup project but am unsure if they will be too soft since they are meant to be run as duals.
