man this is taking me a long time just to get it where i think i can take it on the trails, i will post pics later. i still have to make a front driveshaft,hook electric up to fan, re-allign my steering for more turn radius.do some more welding, fill up all my fluids, install a floor for my feet (dont want to be flintstone) , fix my parking brake , install rear shocks and paint the buggy frame. then hopefully it runs good without overheating and all when i push it

Glad to hear you are making progress. I know what you mean about lenght of time to get these projects done, the CJ won't be done til next year.

I feel the same way with the Toyota. Hopefully I can get a couple things done with it in the next 6 months. I would really like to see it on the trails by the Big Dogs Ice Breaker.

here are some pics however i just went to change the spark plugs and the first 2 i tried to take out came apart on me leaving the housing of it in the hole, thats my luck, i am going to get them out with an easy out hopefully,replace them 2 and do the rest after big dogs

Von, Nester showed me a very interesting 1 link rear that you could perhaps get some ideas from. Here are some pictures and the link.

thanks for the info. i thought i was the only one with a ball hitch joint. i came up with that myself. the pictures are awsome. i might have to modify again, when i jacked up the skid plate 1 1/2 now the driveshaft hits. i will figure it out. no worries. i think i might extend the rear arm up to the skid plate so it is lower than the rear driveshaft for protection. we will see.
