WHERE'S YOUR ROCK BRAWLER SIG SON 

  I fix it!!



I ordered my flat steering arms today. They will be here next week then I can get serious about this thing. I plan on making the Marlin Roundup!!

[jedrattle]

  Well I got my flat steering arms on thursday. Today, I had to drill them and mount them and check all of my clearances. They came out perfect!!    With a frame height of 26 inches (under the middle of the door) on 39 inch Iroks, I'll have 6 inches of compression travel!! That's almost triple of what I had before and I lower it 3 inches and went up to a tire size!!!    I will post pics later. I was just too excited and had to share!!!

[jedrattle]

  From this



to this



The tie rod is whole lot lower then it use to be but something had to give somewhere



I love the ride height and my tire/wheel combo!


What a mess!!

It's gonna take a while!!    But I am trying!! I am trying to get the wheels done and I picked up a side job! The side job will pay for hydro bumpstops!!

Looking really good! I want to see how much you end up tubbing the front fenderwells.

When is it going to be ready for a night run? 8)

I know it's going to have to be tubbed big time!  No soon enough!! I am not sure I am hoping to get it running within about 30-45 days. I want to get the suspension done and then fire it up so I can drive it!   But the smog ref might put a damper on my plans. I think I need to get it running and through the smog ref before I can do anything with the body or wheelbase. So I might just put springs back under the rear for a short time. We'll see.
