Panhard bar is now in place. Took quite a bit of work to get it in the right spot to minimize bumpsteer, clear all the up travel, and keep a flat drag link at ride height.

Hey now it's only been 3 weeks I'm not as young as I used to be. Did get shock mounts in but being riding season progress is slowing.

Files are too large though so you'll have to use you imagination. Keep your hopes low as it's all hand cut and my first time.

I got ya Mai-tai. Saved images from irate4x4 thread and reposted here no problem.

Got the upper shock mounts complete by adding a third tube and building tabs off them. AC lines are a hassle on the passenger side and the driver ended up about in the way of the master cylinder as expected.

Started on the bumper with integrated winch mount

Need more progress updates!

I wish I had more progress, haha.
I did get the radiator mounted, had to go with a smaller 19x21 twin row aluminum to fit inside the steering box.


Also started on the rear suspension. I had planned on fabbed trailing arms with the shock mounted behind the seats but changed to a cantilever to keep the floor intact and minimize the sheet metal work. Detail specs to come once it's done but here's a sneak peek.

Looks damn good to me, I hadn't seen any recent updates here so I went on irate4x4 yesterday for the sole purpose of seeing if there were some there.
