I'm still alive, still slaving on it.The final task I did last night was made my rear driveshaft. I took a measurement, did some cutting, tacked it together. Went out of my way to install it just to make sure my measurements were correct, and left enough room for splines to slip. All was well, took it back out... fully welded it, cleaned it, painted it. Both driveshafts are done. 8) This morning I started my day off by bolting the rear shaft up, and then it hit me... my rear was at ride height with jack stands underneath my rear lower link mounts, ok cool. My front was sitting at full bump...****. That meant the Tcase was actually pointed up. So I nervously hoisted the front of the buggy up while it pivoted at the rear jack stands, and whoopity doo, the driveshaft bottomed out. It was now too long So I unbolt it and restart the whole damn process. Seems simple enough, but what a waste of my labor. There are good days in the shop, and there are bad days... Idk why I told you guys that story.However I did buy 2 new coilovers from Ryan at AccuTune. He is a nice guy and got them to me very quick. Also a shot of how I ran my exhaust.
