thanks nick. if i ever get my dually sold and finish my jeep ill be ready to wheel in no time im hoping its done before august

 

[4x4fever]

well besides puttin the beef diff cover on im done with my rear 60.

all i need is my shackle flip kit and i can actually in stall it. but in other news. sunday nite a deer has caused me to try and pull 500 bucks out my ass for my deductible.

 

[4x4fever]

finally finished my 205, did the whole twin stick thing to it, neat stuff. cant wait to actually make my doubler. also on saturday my TT's Fabworks shackle flip kit came in, and i started on that today, but smoked my drill bit up off the bat so thats on hold for next weekend.

finish date as of right now is set for august? subjext to change at all times

 

[4x4fever]

somebody buy this

so i can finish building this

its becoming a catch-all.

[JBsTrooper]

i liked the OD green better, but just my 2 cents. good luck selling and finishing.

 

[4x4fever]

4 wheels, 3 tires... How does that work??

 

[4x4fever]

i installed my shackle flip kit and installed my rear axle, its not a done deal , but its pretty close.

i ran into some snags though turns out my 60's spring perch width is 2" wider than my springs so i gotta cut off my perches and move them in an inch a piece and its seems that i have too much lift in the back. im not quite sure, but i have 12" of clearance between the tire and fender. the previous lift had only 6" i think i could live with 8 but it looks too tall. i dunno what do you think?

all i have left is the brakelines and the rear should be done.

 

[J.C.]

its seems that i have too much lift in the back. i dunno what do you think?

Yeah, looks too tall to me too!While you're this far into the build I'd try to get the center of gravity a little lower. Work much better on the trail and look better also.

 

[Mountain Ram]

It does look tall, but when you lower it, I bet you run into tire clearance issues. Lower it & cut more- if you can...
