looking great. I have been busy myself, with my jeep. I will get ahold of you when I'm free. I would really like to check this thing out in person. And after you cut the upper shock bolts, you should just punch them through...have you seen the write up on how to do so?

Yea, just let me know, we are always working on some project whether it's a jeep, or something else. And yea I have gone through the rear shock dilemma before, just not on this jeep yet. I got a seized control arm bolt right now that is kinda holding me up...got to find A replacement.

Been working on the jeep a little when I can. Ball joints apparently forgot whose team they are on.

Shot of what it's gonna look like when I get to the strip and start pulling wheelies.

Also pic of it resting on the ground, wanted to see it close to current ride height. It does look like a decent amount of camber, but I haven't completely finished the drivers side, so that has a little to do with it. Just got to bolt everything up, then I will mostly be ready for my next event, however I plan on doing a bit more..

Sorry I misread your post the calipers are from the local parts store. The control arms are from a board member who I'll get more info about after I get them installed....right now I don't think they are gonna make it before my first race
