Thanks. The rear shouldn't take as long for the suspension. I really need to put it on a lift to finish weld inside the frame and build the new tcase crossmember.

I'm in the process of buying a house, so hopefully I can save up and install one not long after.

Picked up a set of air shocks for this thing. Should help lighten it up and get on the trail quicker. Still have the coilovers if I need the performance.

Also started on the rear.

Welded up the upper control arms.

Put it at bump and started mounting air shocks.

One day I think I may actually see this thing on the trail. Any goal for a date or time line?

Haha. That is a running joke around here with my buddies. I have had a number of rigs that get torn down for rebuild and then parted. I am determined that this one will make it back on the trail, even if not 100% what i started for it to be. This will also be the last one (for now) that i cut up from factory frame, vs just building a tube chassis.

I had a timeline of this fall. Many things in life have changed since then. I recently bought a house, which has all the right parts, but it needs quite a bit of work around the property so that will derail this quite a bit. It does have a moderately sized shop, so hopeuflly i can get that cleaned up and moved into, and it will help with the build also.

Haven't worked on it much. Been busy working on the house and new shop.

Finished up the rear shock mounts and rolled it outside, to move it to the house.
