All done now and after the first race, I gotta say I am 100%satisfied with the build. I had no mechanical issues at the race. The steering, brakes and suspension all worked awesome.
My wheelbase ended up at 110, which is what my old YJ was on a similar setup. I have a lot of gearing options to suit whatever terrain or course I have to attempt.
Got to say thanks to the vendors and members here who helped by supplying parts for my build.
Brad at www.Barnes4wd.com for every tab, bracket and heim used. Andy and Chase at www.eastcoastgearsupply.com for a bunch of my drivetrain parts. Greg Slade at 4WP Raleigh for gear stuff, synthetic winch rope and some other goodies. Gubni for the rear disc kit. Tim at www.liquidironindustries.com for frame plates and sponsorship.
Special thanks to Dave Rees (35xj) for helping me a TON the last week so I would get to race. Heartfelt thank you, buddy!
Enough of that- here's the finished product, post race and dirty (dented too).
