Little more work on Todd’s Jeep. The driver side exhaust was hanging too low and interfered with the new spring hanger position. I pulled the ancient exhaust and used my rusty metal welding magic to shorten it.
Ready to return to duty 1.75” higher.
Then I started the process to figure out what and where the shackles would end up looking like.
Without weight…
With weight on the springs…
So I cut 1.25” off of the frame horns. I figured I would have to do this, so no surprise.
With the shortened horns and shackle hangers tacked in place, but no weight on the springs…
I think that’s where they’ll end up. Gotta pull it all off and fabricobble some kind of tie plate and bumper thinger, then add the shackle hangers back on.

Also, I ran the AC in the garage all night last night so I could get out in the garage early. This worked quite well, and it was almost too cold in there at around 10 am.
This temp is a little higher than actual room temperature. It hangs on my south wall, which gets pretty roast in full sun.

I can’t wait to get in trouble for this comment. Thank you. Looks like I will come able to go for a ride this week because she won’t want me around. Thank you

I used to feel that way about that engine, but when they build a starter that outlasts the timing belt by more than double, it starts to not seem so bad. Now if they could just make a timing set that didn't need to be changed at 90k...

The force is definitely strong with this one.
We are guessing we went from 74ish to 70ish, plus whatever changing from a rigid fork to a ~130mm suspension fork will do. Won't really know until I get it put together, which will probably be a while still.
