The mounts I am using are from Energy Suspension. They are what they call their Short and Wide Chevy Mounts. You can also use their Tall and Narrow ones which have more urethane for more absorbtion.

I have it, but have not mounted it yet. Now that I am making my rig a four seater I will have fun figuring out where it will go. Keeping checking my build for updates.

Now I am working on the Hydro Assist stuff. Picked up this clamp from Ballistic. I am going to mount the ram in front of the tie rod because there is no room in the backside.

Sweet. Have you mounted the passenger seat yet? Like to see pics of that. I did the same thing. I used a rear seat and seat belts from an Amigo and it works great. The kids love it. It's safe too.

We're cutting the frame before I leave for the east coast George!!!  You only have 3 months to get that thing finished.
Don't forget to send in your reg. to MCR also. I'm sending mine in this week.

Any updates here?

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

Ditto !!!!!!!!!!!

Working on the rig in this heat sucks. Last night I went to work on it at 11pm and finished at 2pm. The truck is sitting on it's own weight now. I had to redo the axle bracket for the hydro assist. I ended up having to use a different type of ram with hime joints instead of the basic one that you get from surplus center. I am going to put the axles in it and finish putting the front end together before I start on the double triangulated rear. I don't like that I have about 8"'s of uptravel up front right now. I would be happy with six inches. After the truck is done and I have gotten the coils to settle I may switch out the top coils up front.

Anyways enjoy the pics.
