Nice build, got a lot of stuff planned and in the works I like it.

Subbed.

 

i know its been a wile but i have made some progress but it has been slow do to this is the crazy time at work.

New addition to my Family.
Had to give up some weekends for my brother to get his backyard done


On to the runner

I got the motor mounts welded up, shock hoops welded, brake line and caliper's mounted, some paint, shock mounted.

i also got some new to me 15x10 Steel wheels with a crazy off set. but hey they were close to free.


So i have one brake line to put on and bleed the system.
make a front drive shaft
get a alignment done
tires mounted on the new wheels
get and install some bump stops

Than i get to move on to the back

i think im gonna stay coils in the rear for this year just so i can get on some trails and when its down time at work i can do more work on the rear

LC OME coils
LROR rear shock mounts
adjustable Panhard bar
panhard drop bracket
Extend brake line
hammer the gas tank shield so drive shaft does not hit
Gears and locker for the rear

and i think that will get me on the trails for a few weekends.


Now Pic time !

How hard was the swap? Really wanting to sas my 89 pickup. Doesn't look intense

 

It was not that bad. i wish i have a plazama or torch.

but other than that it was easy.

 

Nice build so far!
You still have a lot of work ahead of you though

Question, I don't have SAS, and don't plan on it either.. But I have looked at a few of these builds and it seems like most people weld a gusset plate to the frame before welding on the shock towers and such. I welded my rock sliders to my frame and thought, well this isn't all that beefy. I would be concerned that you may get some warping?

 

im going to later down the road ill cut the towers off fab up some plate and weld it on and put my towers back on. think i might do a 1" body lift to give me a little more room to play with.

 

Not the Best Pic but she did make it out on her own power and took a ride around the block !
