The bumper could probably hold things like recovery gear, a jack handle, or dust lights if it’s tabbed or portions where it’s boxed in.

Getting to the final stages on the rear, fuel filler and EVAP system in place. Can see the battery box location, shock reservoir brackets and rear glass brackets. Almost ready to start on the front.

what size is that fuel fill tune? must be vented good somewhere?

 

[turbomonty]

the rear tire clears the rear door latch hardware?

Not sure what size but it is vented you can just see it above the filler/cap area. It’s using the factory tank fill and vent guessing close to factory sizes.

Sure does!

Rear is about done with some fresh paint. Battery shield getting wrapped up. Front end is getting started, definitely less complicated than the rear lol

 

[turbomonty]

so fresh and so clean!

Took advantage of some Black Friday deals. Three LP9 sports and a 30” onyx curved bar. Will use the light bar in the rear for dust and reverse lights mounted to the bumper.

Woah, someone won the lottery. 30” Onx6 for a rear light.

Front end mock up has started! When Brandon and I first talked about the front we planned for their race kit on a 2.5 coilover due to space constraints and wanting to keep the A/C and pass smog legitimately. When it came time to order the shocks we decided to go with a single 3.0 IBP. As time went on we even talked about possible J-arm set up to fit a coilover and a bypass. But after a quick mockup Brandon found the J-arm would cause more issues under the hood with the air box etc. So final decision with minimal modifications we could fit both shocks with the original race kit set up. I think the rear got us thinking a little too outside the box and we decided to keep it “simple”
