Title: Goodies!
Post by: Psycho71 on March 01, 2011, 08:30:55 pm

Got in from an out of town job today, and found my shackle flip kit from diy4x.com, and my wheel spacers waiting for me.

The wheel spacers aren't too spectacular, but the shackle flip kit looks freaking beastly. Welds look awesome! Even has their logo lasered into it.

Too bad it'll be a week or two before I have the time to install it all. Out of town work is killing my time at home right now.

I'll post pics of them tomorrow.

Here's some pics of the burb. Sorry, but I'm not much on stopping to take pics once I get started working.

Thanks,

Still have a long way to go before it gets to where I want it. If it ever does, lol. Got it running and driving now. Pretty much new stuff from the radiator to the u-joints, new steering parts, rebuilt front axles & front wheel bearings. Haven't been into the diff's yet, not quite sure how crazy I want to go with these, or just upgrade them to a D60 and full floater (10bolt and semi-floater now) as I break these. I have a few minor, I hope, electrical issues to figure out before I get it tagged and inspected. Gonna start building the front winch bumper, the rear bumper with swing away tire carrier, and roof rack rack before too long. Then I'll either camo wrap it, or slap some paint on it. Nothing too fancy, as she's being built to use, not look pretty.
