I had about an hour in the shop this morning before work. I got the old axle pulled out and sat the new housing back in its place. It's ready to start mocking up link and shock mounts.

I spent a few hours in the shop today before coming in for night shift. I got the axle squared up under the buggy and got the lower link and shock mounts tacked on. They're snug, but as long as the link bolt on the passenger side will clear the 3rd it will be fine.
I used a piece of flat bar bolted to the link bracket to get them at the same height.

The upper link and the panhard bar are sitting where they need to be I just have to build the mounts for them. I started on a little Cinnamon Toast Crunch CAD but ran out of time.

So since this thread started 4372 days ago I know the buggy has been running and taken back apart several times. How many wheeling trips has it been on?

It took me years to build it. It's been out once. I tore up the rear axle, it needed a new housing. I wasn't a fan of how narrow the axles were, It snowballed into two new housings, 40 spline shafts, and 10" ring gears.
During that time I got married and had two kids, so life and priorities changed. I'm working on it when time and money allows. That's why I get up at 3am before day shifts to to work on it, or work in the shop all day before going in on a night shift.
