Badass Marcus!! You have any up-travel? :eek: Those tires look pretty hungry for some fender chewing.

Not much uptravel right now, or any travel for that matter:D

The frame will limit most of the uptravel unless I hack it off. For now, my goal is to get it moving under its own power in the next week or so and then have the tubework and coilovers done. After that, Ill probably go with a fiberblass front clip of some sort.

What's going on with your piglet? I finally received my new steering arms, so mine will be finished this weekend.

*sigh* Many distractions outside jeeping have had my attention over the last few months:cool:


However, I am >< close to it moving under its own power in the next week or so. I will post up some pics soon.







oh, check your e-mail

Get your priorities straight, this is your only warning

yeah yeah yeah, I know.........

We won't be using ours. let me know if you want it

Little up travel > no travel.... any day of the week.

sounds like a deal! mine is completely thrashed and i want a replacement so im able to drive it to dinner every once and awhile.

I should end up with around 6"-6.5"" of uptravel. Oh, your boatsides and frame sections are looking great:cool:

pulled it outside today. the only thing gained was to get an idea of how it will sit, someday. I have a fawkload of work ahead of me, but just seeing it move helps:)
