Looking good. I want to see thing thing pull a wheelie! If you don't stop putting heavy steel in the chassis it will never happen!!

Haha. Im just ready to go riding around in it. The suspension is alot softer than i was expecting so its gotta ride better than it did with them worn out springs it had.

That square tubing is thin, that cage might weigh 3 pounds. The body is flimsy where i cut the tunnel out at so this was a easy way to get some strength in it. And put the diamond plate on it for a center console.

I gotta figure out a transfer case shifter and a throttle cable.

no need for a throttle cable. Off or full throttle are the only two you need.

Started on wiring and got a few things done. Got a long way to go!
Started on the transfer case shifter. Boy is that gonna be crazy. Dunno if ill even take a picture of that when im done. Might confuse my phone haha.

Soon as i finish soldering the wires to the cam sensor im puttin the harness on and my fuse blocks will be in tom along with my brakes.

All in the while im sanding and painting one panel at a time. Krylon ultra flat black. It looks good so far. Same stuff i did the dash and everything else in.
