Re: finally some updates! motor, trans, tubbed. lots of pictures
I bolted two factory tubs together to do my tubs. It serves it's purpose for now, but I'm planning to switch to aluminum tubs for weight savings.

Re: finally some updates! motor, trans, tubbed. lots of pictures
looks great, but... why have the shocks mounted so high? I pretty much have the same setup, and looks to be about the same ride height, but it's all under the bed. Not hatin, just trying to see the advantage of this

the reason was to make a crossmember there to bring the tubes fro the roll cage into, and then i was like wait, why not just mount the shocks there too, so i dont need to put another cross member inside the frame rails.
