Thanks. And no issues so far. I would like to eventually go with Long Travel in front and get beefier axles. But it works great as is.

Well the fun is finally over.

The frame ended up rusting out, but the engine keeps going and will probably never die. It's a shame because after 5 yrs or so of driving this thing, I still love it. Unfortunately I don't have time to find another donor and swap everything over, so it's for sale.
