Applied some rubber undercoating today to the unibody and some sketchy spots that could become rust holes. Most of it is pretty decent aside from a rust hole on the drivers side. Ill get some pics of the undercoating tommorow .

 

Heres the undercoating. Sprayed the rear axle and leafs also . Turned out great .

 

Any recommendations for shackles? Mine are a little shot

 

You can either rebuild your shackles, IRO makes a nice .75" lift shackle as well.

 

Sweet build brother! wish I had a the parts hookup like you do, being on a high school budget sucks.

 

Yeah it does man. Its gunna take me like half the summer just to save up for a few parts i want aha. I definitely am lucky to have the resources i have. Thanks man!

 

Thanks dude i'll look into them. Im gunna be going up another inch or two eventually so that might work . You know if the RC shackles are any good?

 

I know they aren't know for having great bushings and they look to not be made out of as thick material as competitors but i'm sure they work fine. I'm on MJ (comanche) shackles now and they gave me a nice 2/3" lift in the rear.

 

Factory comanche shackles? I could imagine you get better articulation with shackles that long am i correct?

 

Yea they're just a hair over 1" longer. they made a slight improvement in the angle, but nothing to show off about, still around a good 60 degrees towards the rear. I can't complain about the flex. I don't plan on buying relocators.

Not my picture.

 

Ok thanks. I like the IRO shackles but the RC ones are only 45 while the IRO are 75. I guess ill figure that out later.

 

RC lcas have been ordered should be in by friday. I had some rubbing on the stock lcas since i used factory rims. Wasnt bad rubbing but at full lock there is some crunchage

 

Plan on builing a cargo storage box in my wood shop class . I have to get dimensions and everything but i will show progress as im building. I was thinking something like this

 

Lowers came in. Probably put them in this weekend

 

I've been contemplating building a storage area in mine too. Seen some pretty cool ones out there. Be interested in what you come up with.
