not many too updates today. I used some brackets I had laying around to start the front of this thing. My lower link brackets never showed so I am waiting on those. Here's some stuff that I'm mocking up. Yes I will be using pvc pipe it's super strong and flexable!   :greengrin:

passenger side will be a little crowded. Still need coilover mounts. These are the old ballistic brackets. Never used them so why not use them now.




3rd link tower and maybe the start of the frame mount



Panhard rod frame end



and the front view

A bunch of progress has been done on this but here's the pics. Cycling the suspension. The shitty pics are a camera phone. I'll get detailed pics later
Since the last update. Cage, hydro, bumps, and everything else have been done.

if I had to redo it I'd do a few things different but it turned out alright I think. We'll see how it does in a few weeks.
