i paid $300 for it and drove it right to the compound.

with the help of john i got the 5.5" superlift installed and did a SOA in the rear. it was sitting on 31 Geolander ATs

then i decided to paint the EX. i wanted something that stands out.

Then i bought some wheels so that i could run my 33s.

then i added some Skyjacker to it.


Built some rear shock mounts.



Not bad welds for a 100 amp arc welder. :)

changed out the core support i don't know how the raditator stayed in.


and after

this past week end i installed some extended radius arms.




i decided to see how much the sway bar would hurt flex.
With sway bar

Without

that's not all of the flex. i went until i heard the spring pop out. :twisted: the shocks are too short and so are the brake lines.

these will help with the shock problem with F250 shock mounts and some rancho 9012s.

as far as the brake lines i have a couple of ideas on how to get more travel out of them.

Looks good! Who did the welding? Looks real professional.

In the Frog I just moved the Brake hose location on the frame down lower and used stock hoses. That way if a hose gets ripped in two I can get one anywhere.
