I know you have been re-doing your rig for competition and I heard it is done. Post up some pics and tell us what all you changed. I heard a new motor was in store, what else did you change for racing?

Looks the same doesn't it, besides not being painted yet. All the noticeable changes took place up front. Cut frame in the front and tubed, front swaybar, sheetmetal spikes, cutdown cj grill, chopped up cj hood. That's basically it for the cosmetic stuff. Drivetrain is now 6.0 vortec, turbo 350, atlas 3.0. I also 4 linked the front, fit a 1 piece front driveshaft in, mounted a huge fawkin radiator, new steering stuff, cut out the floor and have removable floor panels now, and the skins now bolt on. Rear firewall and moved battery to the back. A lot of freakin work in less than 2 months with my shop an hour from my house.

I still have some punch list items to finish up, but nothing big, window nets, wire amp and speakers, paint, new winch rope, etc.
 
Post some pics of the font of that bad boy! That is a lot of work dude in a realy short time. How do you like the front suspension and drivetrain changes?

Man, I don't even own a camera. We wheel around here, well some of us do, not take pictures. :flipoff1:

Yeah, I was busting ass on it, working on it every chance I had.

So far, I like the changes. Handles awesome now with two swaybars, and still flexs nice. The power is good, gearing is badass, cooling is good.
 
There was quite a bit of motivational beer that was drank during this time at the shop :drinkers: Dude was basically working round the clock every wk with little sleep. You would have thought it was a KOH build or such. Good job man, now go cash in on the recycled cans :dblthumb:
 
Its good ten foot fab work. :flipoff1: I will say it handles awesome and has the power. I think we all did alot of supervising and a little work. I will try and bring a camera to Harlan this weekend, but i cant promise it will get used (never seems too).

I am envious of his big as fawk radiator.
