The contractor that plows the snow in my shop yard buried the other diffs in about 8 feet of snow.

Go it moved to a place I can at least have it on jack stands for now.

Probably ditch the trail mart springs in the front and go with ruf with stockish springs. In the back I’m thinking spring under

bit of a update the border is open and things are starting to finally arrive after months of nothing moving, so Ive got suspension bits on order. I had pulled the trail mart 3 inch springs and sold them. Now Ive got four old man emu medium duty rear springs on the way, along with parts to build a new crossmember with the front bushing mount moved forward. All this will make room for the rebuilt tracker box tapped for hydro assist I picked up a while back.

oh and the wife finally settle on a new to her vehicle so I can have my donor vehicle back for the drivetrain swap. 1999 tracker with a 2.0 and five speed

talking with buddies the other day this thing might get a quick and dirty build just to get it out wheeling this winter. worry about the body work after the snow melts.
