Glad to see it driving! Now its time to wheel it!

Most the likely the Check Engine light is due to the Speed Sensor Code, I think its PS02, something like that. Your front ABS sensors were your speed sensors, but of course they are gone now.

If you still have your rear ABS sensors, try plumbing the rear lines into the front lines, so the Speedometer at least gets a signal from an ABS sensor, also known as a Hall-effect sensor. If you can get a signal, you can use the Dakota-Digital to fine tune the signal to the correct speed.

Front driveshaft hitting the crossmember.....uh oh.....

Otherwise, looks good

Hmmm...I'd like to see that. Are you saying you kept the original crossmember in place, but just cut a section for the driveshaft, and then joined the cut section with an upper mount? I think I've seen this method somewhere......

Very cool, over all it looks really nice. Are those springs supposed to be that flat? I suppose you have only a few inches of uptravel, which puts the springs into a negative arch, and lots of down travel.....

What kind of springs are those?



edit:
Those 35" tires really complete the rig, very nice.

edit, again:

How does it handle on the road, looks like the ride would be pretty nice....

I'm once again oh so jealous!


Great job! I'm ready to see it wheel-how about Grey Rock in B'Ham this weekend? I'll be there at the TLCA Southern Cruiser Crawl.
