We started working on the steering.
The box needed to be moved forward a three inches because of the added wheelbase and to clear the x-member.

The new cross member will be hidded behind a factory front bumper.

The most badass build I've seen in a looong time! Something I've wanted to do for a long time. You guys gave me some ideas for sure with this. Been wanting to get a Cnc plasma also but no funds. Keep it up! Can't wait to see it finished

Been working on getting everything welded front to back lately. We're hoping to have a roller very soon so we can get it weighed and get the spring rates narrowed down.
The engine cross member was still on the list, so we worked on checking that off last sunday.

We put a solid 300 miles on it over the weekend. Everything worked flawless, but both ends still need to be tuned.
Drives bitchen on and off the road.
Heres a quicky slow-mo vid.

More to come. We still have some finish work and tuning to do, but we're super stoked to have it on the road.
