thanks man i appreciate it! the B pillar is bolted to the roof also to stiffen it up a bit. it doesnt shake too much. i didnt do exo on the rear cuz i dont have a **** ton of money to throw at this right now lol i will eventuall put some back there

 

Right on money's not something you just come across I understand that! You still do any snow runs with back open like that

 

ya i will still do snow runs. they are my favorite kind of wheelin! lol i am getting a custom made canvas top to go behind the front seats to hold some of the heat in.

 

To tell you the truth my heater works great and it gets hot inside even with the back cut in the hills.

 

i havent got much done in the past 2 weeks. i was out of town for a week and just too busy the other. i did however finally finish all the link mounts and links. they are all in place and ready to measure for shock lengths. i also got my SOLID diff cover for the rear 60. the swap meet is this weekend so i will hopefully find a set of shocks. i then need to run new brakelines to the rear and get a rear driveline made. after that and mounting the shocks i will be ready to hit the trails!

on a side note... i am thinking of trading my 35" mtrs for a set of 38" IROKs to get a little more ground clearance. if im gentle with the 44 i might be fine with them. so if anyone knows anyone willing to trade let me know...

 

Are they the Kevlar side wall Myra?

 

Mtrs. Sorry my phone is being a pain! Lol

 

wow this is turning out to be one awesome build, to bad i don't live south of Seattle!

 

lol yes they are the kevlar mtrs. i love the tires but in order to go to a 37" tire i have to get 17" wheels and put beadlocks on them. i have 15" beadlocks right now and wanna save money if possible

thanks man i wheel with a few guys up around you. i will be coming up to walker a few times im sure once this is done.

 

I have to say it is looking great, I'm not a big fan of full width but your rig is looking nice man. I can't wait to see it when it is done and wheel with ya out there. That is if I ever get my own junk back out on the trails lol

CJ

 

it will be done and on the trail by april.

yesterday i scored on a pair of racing harnesses. got a pair of RCI 3" 5 point harnesses with latch basically brand new for $70 hopefully will have them in today. i dont have much i can do until i get my shocks brakelines and driveline. just been doing small miscellanious things like regreasing bearings and changing diff fluid

 

new harnesses mounted up




toolbox mounted in back seat



fire extinguisher and hi lift mounted



tried to flex the rear suspension with a floor jack and this is as high as i could get it. me standing next to it to show how tall it is. im 5'11





then pulled the rear end out to throw my new diff cover on and finish some welds and supports





rear end will be painted tomorow and then the links. i also got the upper shock mount done for the rear. im almost to the point of having nothing else to do until i get parts..

 

Dam that looks good

 

hey i just got the same diff covers for my dana 44 and front dana 30! look real good.

 

i also have harnesses for my drivers and passenger seat, i think i have used mine once but when my wife goes with me she wears hers all the time.
