ParadisePWoffrd's EB
Finally got the plumbing finished and everything back together. I put the wheels back on, but still need to get the new lug nuts... Once those come in, I can put it on its own weight and get it over to my friends shop for some tube work... Lastly is trying to refit all the front sheetmetal, or atleast the hood/grill

yeah i cant wait either... I have talked to one of my chassis builder buddies and I think we are going to start bending up a tube chassis in the summer/fall. Plans are to build it around the dimensions of the current rig with some improvements, and then just swap it all over next winter... This thing has a ton of steel in it and seems strong, but the frame limits where I want it to be... figure a chassis will be easier then cutting up a good bronco...

also got a SXS project for the rest of this winter... Ill start a new thread on it once I get this thing all finished up

im at 119" right now... I would like to be about 5-10" shorter...

currently the front is pretty much where i wanted it... I built the links the length i wanted, but the tranny mount limited how far back they went.... If I get around to redoing the rear suspension, I will shorten it up (maybe)...

Now if i can get some sheet metal back on it, so people know its an EB and not some jeep

braced the tube down to the frame and tied them across the motor... charged the airshocks and took it for a drive...

There is about 6" uptravel up front & 3" in the back... 78" to top of cage..
