Yes, it is really that steep. It is drivable with at least 108" WB. Mine was 104" at that time.

So on to more upgrades.

Building a D60 front, stretching it out another 7" in the front(to 111" WB), full hydro steering, 39" Reds, coilovers, new grill, eliminated a ton of useless wiring, ec.

I will post photos of the completed project, but here are a few work in progress photos.....

Here it is right before the tear down, at the AZ Game & Fish Expo.

New grill and "newer" hood. Coilover hoops, engine brace, useless wiring and emission crap gone, new battery tray, relocated all kinds of stuff, new hoses and belts, flushed system, oil change, etc. Pretty much ready to take it to the shop for the actual D60 stretch and swap.

New paint(I could not find any yellow paint even close to the factory color. Went with a new scheme.

Completed my front end build. Finished it at 10PM on a Tuesday night, then drove 8 hours to Moab for my shakedown run on Wednesday at 5AM. Worked crazy good. In 3 days, we ran Moab Rim(Wed night after we unloaded), Hell's Revenge, Pritchett, and a bunch in BFE.

Final build of my front end(and added a few other things too):
Front 01 Dodge D60
5.86 R&P
Spartan Locker
Riddler diff cover
RCV shafts(testing the new 94-01 Dodge disco eliminator shafts)35 spline Chromo inners, 33 spline 300M stubs with stock unit bearings
PSC full hydro double ended ram
Rock Krawler front long arms +7" stretch(to 111" WB now)
Walker Evan bead locks
39-13.50-17 BFG red dot Krawlers
Phx Rack and Axle DS
FOA 16" coilovers with Blue Springs(175/250)
Lost Offroad Fabrication custom trussing, brackets, and track bar reversal

Absolute Offroad Phx did the build for me. My rig performed amazing, and huge thanks to all involved.

I love it. Thanks for the update. I'm looking at getting back to AZ (grew up there) and would love to hit some of those places.

Here is your video embed. I just figured out how to do this and I almost missed your link in the post.
