Figured I would update this since I never got a chance too before the Rausch Creek this summer... Nothing to big but here goes
Built some adjustable front bump stop pads/coil buckets for the front and added some new bushings up top
Got new 12" 5150s for the front
DIY beadlocks and bias ply iroks
upgraded my rear axle to a nodular 35 spline third and went to 5.13s front and rear also finally install my rear pinion guard
35 spline moser shafts
after my booger welds failing at rausch i ground down and redid most of the mounts on my front axle..since I first built the front axle I have gotten much more practice welding and I think I have gotten better..only time will tell
Just a side shot. I did the cut and fold to the rear quarters just before rausch I dont really have any pictures though
I have 5.5" of up travel in the front and 5" in the rear currently.
Next on the list is to get some rear leafs out of a k5 blazer to stretch the rear back 2 inches, putting my wheelbase to 104-105". Then build some rear bump stops and most likely redo the rear shock mounts.

Also possibly this summer I can save up to build a cage and get some nice seats with harnesses.

I meant to say half welded in cage, not painted with lots of surface rust with zero triangulation
that better haha
But yeah stables I do need to build a bumper sometime when I can afford a nice piece of steel for it.
