Got a few pics of the steering for now. Pushed it all the way to the front. I actually heated the whole top of the core support perch/mount on the frame red hot and beat a nice concave spot into the side of it for the box to fit into. I carved a little bit of sheetmatal out and also heated and beat some clearance into the core support sheetmetal too.

got the shock hoops on. The long flexy springs need a long shock to use all the travel available. Had to remove a little wheel well to fit them in there.

Got the steering ram located and mounted. I still need to clean off the old stabilizer mount and weld a skidder under the ram to protect the lines. The ram has welded mounting holes and the hoses were really in the way in any other position so I pointed it down and it fit perfect and will be well protected with a chunk of tube.:awesomework:

 

[CHOP SHOP]

Got the brake lines mounted on relocated stock tabs

 

[CHOP SHOP]

Hacked out the rear suspension too.:cheer:

 

[CHOP SHOP]

Turned the overload leafs sideways and cut the ends off. Smoothed it off and twisted them back straight. If you remove them then you need new spring pins and the ubolts are almost always too long also.

Got the rear hanger pieces all drilled and cut and prepped.

 

[CHOP SHOP]

All welded up:awesomework:

Copying this on the ones I'm putting in my samurai... Can't believe I didn't think of just cutting the damn thing down.
