awesome

 

Did some fender trimming today and mocked up the wheelbase at 113"... Ill need to do quite a bit of fender well work as I prep to get the 16" coilovers in place.

Shooting for 7" of compression and 9" of droop... as pictured the front is a little over 3" into compression, the chassis is set at ride height.

 

holy sawzall bro! looking good! was begining to wonder what happened to ya.

 

LOL... ya, I was kinda messing around with some other projects... I made that cut with my tin snips and I will most likely plasma the final cut like the rear. The plan will be to bend up some tube to fit and weld into the cage.

 

Spent the afternoon disconnecting and labeling the engine wiring harness... now I have bare fender wells and can get with some cutting. When the harness goes back in I will be routing her along the fire wall and relocating a bunch of relays, coil, etc. All the excess wire will be eliminated at that time... also will look at moving the ecm to higher ground!

 

Looks awesome. what part of north cal you from?

 

Thanks for the comps.... we are in Vacaville.

 

This is one of the sickest builds I've ever seen! Sub'd

 

yes, i originate from Nor Cal my self.

 

Some pic updates for you guys....

 

And made the ruff cut on the drivers fender well...

 

Still hacking away at the project...

Was able to get some pre-fitment going with the CO hoops up front. Then they will come back off to finish the uni-body plating...

 

Some more progress.... It looks like I will finalize the wheel base at 115"... that was a 7" stretch in the rear with a 6.5" stretch out front. Belly clearance looks to be about 22" with 24" at the frame rail, the overall height without exo looks close to 74" and the track is around 86" so I think overall Im on track with keeping her CG down low. Looks like I will extend the frame rails out front by about 4"... for the steering box relocate and hopefully a suck down winch.

I will have 6.5" to 7" bump and the rest will be in droop... obviously. The pics are with about 1.5" of bump and initial clearances look good for the 42" Pitbulls!

 

holy shet. this is an awesome build

 

Thanks!
