Yep. Hopefully front and rear if I can swing it but possibly just front and CO rear if I run out of cash

If you look close in this pic you can see the reinforcement plate I welded over the joint

I am planning on lowering the cage a little bit after much pondering. I should be able to lower it and inch or two and still have head room.

Would a soft-top still fit on that with the cage at that height?

It would probably would fit, but I would need to stretch the top around the bars some

No real progress lately, just gathering parts but I do plan to work on linking the rear axle tomorrow.

There has been some progress on the samurai though. This is the only pic I have of it at the moment. Rear e-locker fits, just need to weld in the studs and put on the disk brake kit. Gonna hurculine it on Sunday.

Gonna tack them in from the back rather then tap the holes cause I don't feel like it

I ended up lowering the cage today instead of working on the 4-link because I ran out of metal and could not find fine thread 5/8th bolts

I just ordered all the f911 bolts I will need and now just need to stop by the metal place between 10 and 3 on a weekday
