How in the hell did I miss this build?? Epic!!!

Got the rear suspension pretty much complete today.

Also got the PSC steering installed, honestly I think this was the hardest part.

Hot damn this thing is gonna be a beast! Can't wait to see it back in the ground and on it's new shoes!

Didn’t get much done this week. Had a few parts issues and powder coat issues. It should be sitting on the ground Monday so we can measure for driveshafts.

I did get the Evo rear bumper installed today and got the hitch and spare tire carrier removed.

I also reclocked the front sway bar motor.

Looking good.

Looking good.

Thanks man.

Trying to get it finished is testing my patience.

Eddies videos of his being built made it look so easy…..LOL

It’s going to be worth the wait, such a great build

That bumper looks great! Will you be trimming up the body trim like Eddie did to avoid any damage?

Eventually yes but will have to get a different bumper. I wish Evo would market the bumper Eddie has as its much lower profile than the one I have. If I trim mine like Eddies my bumper would sit lower than the bedside.

Eventually yes but will have to get a different bumper. I wish Evo would market the bumper Eddie has is more lower profile than the one I have it. If I trimmed my lower bed now the bumper would be lower than what I trim.

Oh that’s right, I remember you mentioning that now about trying to get the bumper he has.

Front axle is in. Will weld up the lower shock brackets tomorrow and finally get it on the ground.

Finally got it back on the ground today. I’m not real happy with the height of the front so I’m going to up the spring rate to see how that helps.

Looks good IMO. Are you thinking front is too high?
