I knew it was you Chase and my hacktabolus junk actually sees something other than pavement. The last time I saw you on a trail was last July. Hurry up and get it together and we'll see if we can break something better than a shock and bend an axle this time.

Finished mountin up the rear axle today. Geared the front and cleaned the old brackets off to make room for new ones (gotta make those too) so were lookin at about mid next week til im drivin it. Gotta fab up some inner fenders too since i flipped my rear springs. Also had to send my axle shafts to get them turned so the rotors would fit around them since i'm converting it to disc brakes in the rear

Flipping the springs moved the axle back about 6 inches so i gotta cut my fenders, quarter panel guards and inner fenders to match Then redo the tube work around the fenders

That's a given when you stretch the rear. Are you moving it up or using a fuel cell. I plan on doing the stretch down the road a bit and There is a guy that hangs out a Ringgold Offroad that has one that looks pretty good.

The original plan was to use a fuel cell but i'd rather spend the money on somehting other than new fuel lines, fittings and an inline pump so im just gonna build a box and toss it in the back. Ive still got the cell if youre interested in it though. The money im saving by going that route has funded my hydro assist
