it sits on its own and rolls pretty easy when pushed

my fav

race practice

BIG thanks to wilwood, without the winch it would not have gotten on the trailer
And KingCJ, almost took the wall out in front of the house but still the best at moving a trailer around i have ever seen.

ill get ride height and wheelbase shots tomorrow

well i gotta put bump stops on the front so my axle does blow up my crank and i built my panhard to short and the front upper too long, so as soo as i short that this week we will flex it out next weekend so we can sort out the front prop.

last of the photos from the weekend. after we finished cleaning the work area in the barn stacia had some fun with her new camera.....

you can see the diff between the 2 lol

these are at ride height, and pretty close to the wheelbase im after. around 108ish wheelbase and not even 10in lift over stock tj frame once all is said and done. not bad saying the tires and axles....

for kingcj

well not much to look at but i think its a decent step forward - just wish i could have gotten the oil pan sorted too
2 piece in the front - normal in the rear
both have double cvs at the tcase,
and just when i think i was done cutting the floor out and patching it - kingcj makes me cut more
