They are handy as can be. I also modified my seat mount a little and use a 1/2 inch detent ball pin to hold the inside corner. Locks it in solid and makes it much easier to take out!

I had that thought. I initially had it that way but didn’t have enough material on the top side of it to make me feel confident in it. I’m sure I could have reworked it but I didn’t. Probably just laziness on my part. I’m sure I’ll pay for it later😉

Back at it again. Radiator mounted with a TMR mount. Fuel cell in. Hydroboost and carrier bearing shaft in place. Seat mounts done. I’m not a huge fan of the seat mounts but they’ll work fine. Only one bolt is slightly difficult to access.

After a family vacation and life stuff I finally got some time to get back to this. After 4 different front shock mounting ideas this is the one I hated the least. It’ll have the tubes capped and a couple gussets. The winch fits snug also. Angle of the shock is good though the travel. Hopefully...

I haven’t gotten there yet. I really like Woody’s method but I’ll have to see what I can make work.

They look close in the pictures but there’s actually a fair amount of room.

Had to take some time to keep the rest of our families fleet running but finally back after this! Got the engine mount and winch sorted out. Also have a preliminary design for the rear cargo area. I need to get the rear ORI’s mounted and make sure they don’t hit. As the suspension cycles. Keep...

I’ve got 5.38’s in the axles. I have a buddy with the same setup with a Jeep 4.0 in his buggy. He says for crawling technical stuff the low-low is great but it’s too slow for some hill climbs. I guess I’ll find out, but I think it’ll be a good mix. I wish there was more of a difference between...

Moving forward… Tcase mount arrived. Fit good with very minimal effort. Got the rear links in place and heavily tacked in. Moved on to the front and realized the front pinion wants to be in the same place and my relocated power steering pump. So I guess if someone needs an Eversen Fab aluminum...

Got the bridge in for the tcase clearance. Hopefully the mount will be in this week and I can make some more progress. I guess any is better than none!

Not much progress over the weekend but every little bit helps. Got the engine and trans set down and back. Clearanced the chassis for tcase room. Parts coming for tcase and trans mount.

I flipped the intake around and new gaskets for that, and did the oil pickup mod but nothing else. It was a good runner before so I figured it’d be ok.

I bought it from a guy that did that. He said he liked the wagon look. I agreed and that was a big part of buying it for me. He also had some custom suspension set up by BFR made specifically for it also. Tim does good work so I’m anxious to see how it works. Not enough room for an extra seat...
