Any idea how much $ you've put into that?
I'm beyond curious. Looking sweet though dude. Maybe it'll venture out of the driveway this year.Hudson

Not really wanting to do the crazy wheeling stuff, too slow and technical for me, I'm not very patient so I'd get pissed off, flat foot it and roll probably.
After watching the comp at Mabel and ultra4 go fast kinda stuff I am interested in that. Or just taking some backwoods trails to explore a few places and camp. I'm more of a behinds the scenes kinda guy, just like building shit more than using it. I'd probably let a select few people take it out who know what they're doing.Last edited by sardo_67; 08-08-2014, 02:05 AM.

Put about 60 miles on it yesterday driving it from the shop back to my house, need to balance the tires though as up around 65 I start to get a death wobble type of feed back through the wheel. Brakes are good though, I like the pedal feel on this more than my Jetta. Thinking I will have the winters shifter on in an hour or so and take it for a test ride to the gym.Last edited by sardo_67; 09-15-2014, 01:54 AM.

In the past few weeks......
New shoes.
38.3" creepy crawlers
ARB stuff
Last touches on the housing and steering stuff this weekend, just waiting on RCV for the shafts.
Only thing on the front axle I didn't do, brother TIGing the weld washer on the lower sheer steering bracket. Painting tomorrow and will go on after I get the shafts, the RCVs don't for through the unitbearing hole in the knuckle. Only draw back to them.
Aaaaand going kinda stupid on the LS, buddy who's family owns the shop is doin the 5.3 build for me. Went to town on the heads the past few weeks in his spare time, cam will be chosen late next month. 11:1 comp with a big cam and some injectors should get me 400+ with 450 the HP goal. We'll see.

Hahah. Nah bro, plastic and very poor life choices
Also being paitent and watching forums for deals on used stuff helps out too.
Will be driving this weekend with some pics to follow. Only waiting on a 1310 to 1350 yoke.
With the regular spidertrax steering knuckles the RCV ball hits so it has to be ground down some.
Right side done
Axle vent, tube seals, left CV clearance and then install. The ARB front 3rd is all set up now. Then I'll have to probably half ass the ARB comp for now since half the interior is out. Busy next few days.Last edited by sardo_67; 09-26-2014, 12:46 AM.
