Nate, on the frame rails themselves I actually used the Eastwood Extreme Chassis Paint in an aerosol can. I have not been a fan of aerosol paints in the past but I have actually had very good results lately and the Eastwood Extreme paints are very durable. We did my son's LJ two years ago and...

Not much last week as the wife and I hooked up the Jeep and headed to Capitol Reef NP for a few days. Upon arriving home and getting the coach cleaned up I finally got back on my trailer project the last couple of nights. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel as far as completion.:D On...

Cool looking project. What I have found is that it is almost a toss up between fabbing a new chassis and cutting/modifying the OEM one. For me it usually depends on not only the OEM chassis itself as they vary so much as to which ones can be "cleaned up" to be asthetically pleasing and which...

The farmer's field to the west of me seems to get overrun with weeds on the ditch bank and they start coming through my fence. Drives me Nucking Futs. A couple of years ago I spent a Saturday on the outside of my fence pulling weeds and digging them up. I then spread some granules of a...

If I were you I would keep it and build it. If not put me on the list of potential buyers. I am just finishing up a customers bike and have a free bike lift I need to occupy with a project.:D Mike.

Sounds like a great experience Brian. Something very few of us will ever get a chance to experience. Mike.

Thanks Greg. I appreciate that. After driving it today if feels like a new Jeep. Mike.

Thanks Brian. I don't know how to act not feeling the Jeep slop around at a stop sign. Thank you. I appreciate that. You know what they say, a clean shop is the sign of a sick mind.:rofl: Actually, I just can't work in a clutter or disorganization. Mike.

Thank you. As far as anti-squat, there is not nearly as much as I would have thought with the close proximity of the upper and lower control arms at the frame. Many of the kits I looked at had more separation at the frame mount but I also noticed their frame mounted brackets either hung down...

Great looking buggy and nice pictures. Looks like you had a great time. Mike.

Moving onto the rear links/control arms. I clamped the rear upper links into the mill vise and used a large end mill to cope/fishmouth the link to accept the newly machined bushing sleeve. I then chamfered the end to allow good penetration as the upper links are solid and not tubing. The...

Well it was a long weekend but I was able to get my Jeep suspension completely fabricated and installed. Warning: Picture Heavy: I put the Jeep on the lift and removed all front upper and lower control arms/links for duplication with Clevite bushings at the axle ends and Currie's Johnny...

Great pictures Nate, thanks for posting them. Looks like fun. I had heard this same thing from a few other people that by Big Saturday and definitely Easter Sunday crowds had thinned a lot. We hope to make it down there next year being the 50th anniversary and all. Maybe I need to schedule...

Cool pics. Nice trailer. Mike.

Last night I got the two remaining sleeves machined. These are a bit smaller and will reside at the upper rear axle location with similar Clevite style bushings. Sleeves completed. All six sleeves completed and ready to start measuring, cutting and fabricating new suspension links/control...

I agree, the best kind is one you don't have to spend more money on.:D Mike.

True, but I already had this in my pile of steel and didn't have to buy any additional material. This was the closest I had on hand. Mike.

I am tired of messing with my BDS proprietary bushings so I need to fabricate some new suspension links/control arms for my Jeep. I have a BDS long-arm suspension system which for the most part I like the ride, flex and handling, HOWEVER the bushings they used are proprietary and I have had to...
