I did a thing last night. Started purchasing parts. I’ve got my list together minus wheel selection. Waiting on pokey there to be done doing anniversary things (kidding Bill) so I can get axles going.

All good man. Just messing. I’m in no hurry to drop the amount of money about to be spent on everything. I’ll just live through Jerry’s build and be happy.

What are all the little holes on the brackets? Strategic welding spots or strategic placement holes? I’m concerned with all your guys comments I’m quickly getting outgunned big time

You said "axles". you doing both? not sure if I'm doing the axle next or the wheels. :hmm:
Have you decided on wheels yet?
That can be remedied very quickly! :brows:
And yeah, those are for plug welds. Also, you have to cut the frame to match the two square holes to allow a flag nut access to the lower control arm mounting bolts.

Yeah, 60 front, shaved 13 bolt rear. This will be the third set of axles from Dan in two years including the scrambler. I’m done buying axles after this. Just need to chain myself to my desk to fund them.

I will be a matched pair to that. The wheels are the killer decision. You are set on yours right Bill? You chose yours too didn’t you Jerry?

I’m staying with Hutcherson’s. I still love the look of them.

Hands down of my favorite wheels!!! Well it’s a tie between the Hutchinson’s and the forged Walker Evans.

Yeah, since Chamber Pros are no longer available I'm more than likely going with polished Trail Ready's with the slim ring.
I did but at the time the high clearance rear mounts weren't available in the kit - they were the old style that catch on everything. Since I'm scratching all the itches here, I figured I'd just get the last one out of the way too. At last the arms are the same and all I needed was the mounts.

You need to start a build thread, pal.

I will when I start. Right now I’m still in denial that I’m going broke

The high clearance is nice, wish I would have gone with them, but I haven’t had any issues yet with the standard mounts
