Nice build. I'm in

[jtp67-72]

Little of today's work....got rear brakes and panhard rod installed ....rearend squared to frame and front to back (wheelbase check)..should roll down road straight!....need longer bolts for front calipers to be mounted permanently but left drivers on for pic....

Would like to take moment to thank Tobin Knighton at Kore 3 for answering my emails on Sunday of all days!!...Class act and if any of u are wanting to run big brakes and other components I can't tell you how good these guys are...He got me straight on my bearing retainers today after over 2 years having past since purchase!!.......more this week.....jim

Yes sir ...that is the kit that kore 3 makes...man it is a piece of work....lokar cables that will be run down the control arms connected with the same collars used for accuair level sensors like the one in pic...Will drill and tap those large ones and figure out a bolt on attachment for the cables.....more this week...jim

Really good to know. I also have kore 3 but they did not have a e-brake rotor available yet for the 5x5.

Good idea on the clamps. I have them in preparation for my accu air install, I guess I will need a couple more..

Keep up the great work!

Amazing Jim. That frame Looks killer.

[Rusbuilt]

Very nice!

[ibanezer]

That frame looks amazing man. This build just keeps getting better

All I can say is.... Wow!!! The quality of craftsmanship is top notch. I love the ingenious ways you use things, like the motor stands, other than their intended use. I am going to use the motor stand idea for my chassis when I go to paint it. Keep up the good work.
