well i have decided to run the fj80 front i have built and break in the reds until we get the
buggy built. looks like 106" to 108" on the wheelbase. we are going to turn some wrenches and
burn some wire this weekend. i hope to have a good start on a roller this weekend.

Looking awsome! How much taller will it be at ride heigth?

machen4x4 · Jan 16, 2013

i am thinking 4" taller, belly should be at 22" to 23", i dont think i could
make it any lower unless we doved the front and redo the bar up above the front tire
like it sits it is at 20"

Yea around 20'' or so would be good, mine is only 15'' from the belly pan, it gets hung up and see-saw's on big rocks

machen4x4 · Jan 17, 2013

it looks like 23 to 24 on the belly, nice sami 93redjeep.
