Back in the shed :mrgreen: Had to put the Crawlers on and run it up the ramp.
Since then I've trimmed some more weight off the front guards and thrown some epoxy primer around. Have to get the doors back on :lol:

hey quick question.
i see that you still have the shackles at the front instead of reversed. are you going to do a shackle reversal or does it flex better with the shackles at the front?
just trying to sort out ideas for my 40's suspension and like the idea of leaf springs on the front and coils out back.

I still have to pull the front diff out to rebuild it and put in the high steer etc and will probably do a shackel reversal then. If I can be bothered :lol: :lol:
I dont think it would flex any differently :?
