According to the UPS tracking, 8 boxes of parts were delivered to the build site.  Too bad it is 320 miles away. :cry:

If things went well the following items should have arrived:

12" Shock Hoops
5" Front Shackles
Cross over Steering
1.5" Wheel Spacers
IFS Mount Plate (Steering Box)
Rear Axle shock tabs
Rock Sliders & Gusset Kit
Shackle Tubes
Front Flip Kit
Rear Spring Mount

The adapter and other transfer case items should be arriving from Marlin Crawler very soon. 

The 4.5" Alcan springs are on order.  The front springs are built to Marlin lengths and the rears are 5" longer than stock.

I still need to get driveshafts and shocks ordered once we have a better idea of exactly what will be required.

I talked to my dad today since they are at my house for the weekend taking care of their granddogs and he said that he didn't see any packages at the house.  If they didn't arrive on Friday I'm sure they'll be there on Monday.  Did the UPS tracking code say it was delivered?

It should be 8 boxes totaling nearly 100 lbs so it should be easy to see unless the UPS guy hid them in the bushes.
