Yeah I will. If Miller Jeep trail opens we should hit that up! I can always take the taco!

 

[TacoXpo]

Does anyone want to guess what I did today?

Or, should I say, Marlon did today?

Man I am draggin' on this bitch right now! I hate when work gets in the way of putting together my play toy!

 

[Silverback]

You played Darth Vader! What do I win? Lol

You won!!! Your prize? You can play too! If you are good, I will let you play with the tube bender and the chop saw!

Okay, I am officially a two link now - two more to be burned in on Monday!

Cut off the rear spring perches. Disassembled the rear. Cut out the pivot mechanism for parking break... An idea - maybe use the line lock - put it on the front circuit to act as a front parking brake when changing the rear tire. - Maybe not!

I may have missed the desert rock crawling 'season' but I will be more than ready to assault the trees after the snow melts!

 

[TacoXpo]

I should have never painted that housing before I got everything burned in and up! Then again, I didn't know I was doing a 4 link!

Prepped up for the IFS box...

Looking good man.

 

[Silverback]

Looking really good. I like how the diff breather is angled down. Its the little details that make it.

 

[yotarob]

Its the little details that make it.

Could not agree more, I hate seeing builds where the high all of the high points but neglect the details.

4 link looks awesome Paul.

 

[TacoXpo]

Thanks guys! Next - full float kit and coil overs.

 

[TacoXpo]

Looks like I got the perfect hook up on a set of 16" Racerunners! Let the wheeling begin! (very premature declaration to wheel!).

 

[Boomtacoma01]

Bump. Any more progress?

Bump. Any more progress?

We'll I hope to have the rear coil overs ordered Monday. Full float conversion kit should be here on Wednesday so this should be a good week of work - provided I can get my real work done first!

 

[TacoXpo]

Marlon found this... ... I like!

 

[Silverback]

Hmm.. thats pretty slick. Any word on how it wheeled? Nice all in one little package though.. bump and limit strap.

No idea. I'm thinking something like that - Maybe quick release with one to get to the trail and one to be on the trail.

Is this bitch ready to wheel yet?
