Still wheeling the poo out of it ( well not so much in March lots of traveling , KOH , work to Hawaii, then KS ) Im going to wrap up the 09 mod's started and completed real quick in this one post.
Steering, I bought a PSC orbital to make it very easy to turn ( removed quickner ) and also put steering arm's on it and did a hi-steer tierod with a Ram guard under the ram .
I have had this arrangement up to high 60mph on the pavement with no worries, very nice upgrade indeed.
I built a 1 piece front driveline with a yota rear axle and 2 1350 slips ( one welded over the OD of the axle shaft and the other end has splines welded to it for the actual slip ) this has worked very well and been tested alot , Im happy with it and have no worries .
I have also built a dashboard and mounted speakers and a CD player, Im in the process of wiring the winch to an in cab control as well and have a "diff" camera that was part of a deal my dad and I went in on. I want to add another section to the Dash for 2 more speakers and redo my fuse panel eventually as well. Once thats done I will stick a CB in that area also. I did add a 12volt outlet for my TomTom or whatever else may need plugged in while playing in the buggy.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand , at the KOH 09 I picked up a set of front fenders from Randy of Jimmys4x4 that I plan to hang to tidy up the aesthetic's a little more. The plastic gets hot and wavy pretty quick in the sun / with the engine heat so it looks pretty rough most the time. Mock up pic...
