This is the higher shock mount crossmember that I added today. Plated the frame too to reinforce that spot. This picture shows the shocks in the stock location because I need to get longer ones and drill the new mounting holes.

Welded lower shock mounts to the top of the housing. I still need to route my rear brake line and hook it up.

I got the rear brakes put together and the lines hooked up. I didn't feel like drilling holes in the spring perches for now, but I did tuck them up behind the spring perches and ran them on the top of the housing. I had to shorten them about 6" total. I'll get some brake line routing pics ASAP.

I put the bed that I had back on for now until I have time to build one. Here are a few pictures.

I was trying to find a place high enough to fully flex out the suspension so I could measure for the rear shocks. I got close, but still didn't get it fully flexed out.

You bet, that's what I was thinking. I have a bid on a set of 5.29s on ebay. Need to get some sliders on it too.

R u gonna bob the bed? I like bobed beds, and it seems everyone goes with a flatbed.

Let me know when your ready and we will make ya some sliders way cheaper than you could buy them.

I need some 5.29s as well. $I\'m Down$ I will have a spare 3rd next time I make a trip out of town.

I was going to build a bed for it. I guess I could go crazy and bob it though. But I do need to make some sliders soon before I leave all my door paint on a rock or something!

Hey your gonna need a front bumper too, so ya don't bust out those headlights.

I got a better idea .... instead of doing like me, just learn how to drive. I need someone to teach me how one of these days.

After the first official road test, on the road, I blew out my drivers side wheel cylinder... It's hard to get her stopped with no brake fluid! I made it to an O Rileys and got new brake cylinders for both sides and changed them in the parking lot. The next day I noticed there was fluid leaking from one of the rear shocks. They were well used anyway, and now with very little damping it is a little bumpy!

Need to get measurements and order the Bilstiens ASAP. In fact I may do that after dinner!

DeMented Toys · « **Reply #112 on:** Jan 17, 2008, 04:31:40 PM »

Now if I can just find a small car to back up on to get a good shock length measurement...

DeMented Toys · « **Reply #113 on:** Jan 17, 2008, 05:17:52 PM »

Here are some pics of the interior. I rhino lined the floor.

I placed an order for rear Bilstein 5125 12' Shocks and bumpstops with extensions... Maybe in a couple weeks I can do the front too.
