Things are moving fast in the rear

Some more close ups. Working on getting wire looms and plumbing into place. Will be ZIP Tie certified at the end of this project.

Okay that carrier bearing spare drive tie down is an awesome idea. I am going to copy that!

Yeah I wanted to mount it in the cab for security but I think it’s in a good space and will help with weight distribution on Left and Right side of the truck. I’m not racing the truck so it does not have to come off quick. I can also put anti thief hardware on there later down the road.

That backhalf is bad to the bone.

Thank you.

Stainless mesh and panels assembled and bolted up. Started front ready to get this back on its wheels and button up the cab so I can get it off to electrical.

Final steelit coat on the front.

Today’s progress… rear springs and shocks installed , plumbing the power steering system and installed ram assist on the swing steer, DC power 370 amp alternator installed in there nicely. And worked on upper and lower control arms. Waiting for front springs since their spring rate was too soft. Getting close to getting the Baja Burro on its wheels!

sitting on its own almost in the rear. (No pre load) Crazy to see the progression in tire sizes over the years. Everyone would shoot for 37’s you were cooking with gas if you could tuck 39s and now 40’s are the norm on most full builds these days.
