Yea I still have a lot to do

Can’t wait. It’s coming up quick!

I’m using rear JLU Falcon 3.3s on all four corners; those are the roost guard mounts.

@bryson overview of everything at full droop/full bump. Shock is just sitting there, but that’s basically where it’s going to end up.

I’m going to tack weld the bracket and cycle everything, but this is full droop full lock. I’ll probably have to cut off that tab on the shock eyelet so it doesn’t hit the LCA mount at full droop. If it’s turned 180°, then it will definitely hit the caliper at full lock.

Good call. The brake line is in there on the right side of the frame. The bolt for the shock does sneak right under that fitting though. I’ll get everything tacked in place this weekend and cycle it again before burning it home.

How does the saying go- “if it fits, it ships”? Well, this fits, just barely. That brake caliper is right in there at full lock, but there’s still a touch of breathing room, so we’re good. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, so this will have to do. If I ever have to pull the...

The next decision is the lower shock mount position, and I need help deciding which way to go. The lower shock mount seen here is going to be removed. It’s part of the Artec truss system, and there’s nothing wrong with the design, it just isn’t going to work for me. The first two pictures are...

Did some suuuper fancy CAD tonight so I could turn this 3/8” scrap into some front upper shock mounts. In stock form, the ZJ utilizes a stem on the front upper shock mount. That wasn’t going to work for this build, so here we are. Cut, trace, cut some more, and then drill. And here’s where...

Picked up some shocks this week, along with a box of brackets. Started with the rear shock setup. The inside bracket will be tied into a shock tower of some kind; I’ll worry about that next. Other than the bumpstop needing some adjustment, it looks like it should be pretty well dialed. The...

Pulled this out last night, and started to drill some holes in it before one of the kids woke up screaming, so work came to a halt again. Gonna try to finish drilling, and tap the holes tonight, so I can piece together the rest of the hydro assist. Most likely going to have to upgrade the power...

so….,the rock race will do a couple laps on the dirt circle too? 😎

I actually won’t be tonight, but I’ll put your name on it. Should be around the rest of the weekend.

It won’t hurt anything so I might as well. It’ll weather-proof that area as well.

Thanks! I might plate it from the inside as well; cut a 1.5” hole in a 4x4 square or whatever, and weld that to the floor and around the tube for more support. Idk.

Finally getting back to this. Life has thrown a pretty big curveball lately (got laid off), so this hasn’t exactly been a priority. Anyway, got the rear unibody stiffener welded in, and chopped out all the stock coil mount stuff. Welded up a bracket out of 1/4” plate that comes off the side of...

Not cool

looks like it yea thats a 12 hour haul on a good day

This looks like an absolute blast. Way up in Naples, Idaho (north of Coeur d'Alene) This is the small tire class, which is up to 40s; the big tire class gets crazy:
