Normally I don't post personal details online but this is very important to me.

My mother's battling cancer again for the 3rd time. One of her close friends has setup a GoFundMe in order to help with treatment costs. Any support is greatly appreciated.

The link to the fund raiser is in my bio and in her @ittybittyvintageshop page's bio too.

Test fitting the mounts. Making sure everything's

Test fitting the mounts. Making sure everything's going to clear. I'm going to end up running the coilovers on the hole closer to the axle so the bypass shocks will have the slower piston speed.

I'm going to have to rob the front springs so I can calculate the rear spring rate needed.

Got my 2.5x16" coilovers for the rear! 🤗 I'm excited to be running @kingshocks in all 4 corners on this build.

After talking with Bret at @themint400 I knew they're what I wanted.

Thanks to @mrs.juberafab for working with me to get them and for @ittybittyvintageshop for shipping them to me 👍👍

I think this is the first time I've ever won anything in my life. Huge shout out to @bustedknucklefilms and @tekton tools. This will certainly come in handy with the build. One of my favorite channels on YouTube.

These boys are heavy! 49" long trailing arms. Built using @tmrcustoms
Archetype trailing arm tabs and wobble stoppers.

They have a motion ratio of 1.5:1 and 1.625:1 so depending on which hole I mount the coilovers on I will have 24-26" of rear travel.

Notching 3/8" thick tubing is not fun.

Front end on its own weight. I got the @kingshocks coilovers mounted. They're 14" with 125/300 King springs. 7" of shaft showing with no preload on the springs.

These are just a set I got at a good deal for mock up. If I change them I may reduce the rate on the lower springs.

I was able to clean up the rear axle and prep it for welding the truss and link mounts. Then ran out of day light.

Hoping to complete the rear 4 link tomorrow. We'll see how far I can get.

Parts are in to start building the rear 4 link wit

Parts are in to start building the rear 4 link with trailing arms.

As much I love the look of a traditional bent trailing arm but didn't want to sacrifice any ground clearance on a rig that will be in the rocks a lot.

To build the trailing arms I'm using 2.25" x 3/8" DOM tubing along with @tmrcustoms The Archetype trailing arm link tabs and their beefy 4" anti-wobble joints on the frame side. 1.25" x 1" heims on the axle side

The Anti Wobble prevents your trailing arm from over rotating and breaking the shock eyes.

The upper arms will be 2" x 1/4" DOM with 1.25" x 1" heims to a @barnes.4wd truss and brackets. The lower axle and all frame side link mounts are all 3/8" plate.

All the 4 link (front + rear) and steering bolts are 3/4" grade 8.

Bent up the shock hoops. @roguefab bender and dies

Bent up the shock hoops. @roguefab bender and dies make bends up to 180° possible. Because the engine is offset to the passenger side about 6" the driver side hoop had to be longer so the coilover mounts are even between the axle/control arm mounts. Using @bend_tech meant no wasted tube.

Removable winch plate is on. Held in by 6x 1/2" grade 8 bolts. It's a dual opening winch plate and sits directly over the axle so it will double as a suck down winch for steep hill climbs.

Front double triangulated 4-link coming along nicely. Have nearly 12" of link seperation on the axle side (~25% of tire diameter).
