we can do it at my place.

I GOTS TOOLS

what needs to be done to it to get it on the trails again

Well, I was saying that all it needs is shocks - but it doesn't make sense to have a work party and put shocks on - cuz I'm going to extend the wheel base anyway.

So I think we're goin to extend the wheelbase: push the rear back about 10" and the front forward as far as we can (which will mean extending the front frame/hangars cuz I'm out of frame already). My issue here is in order to do the front I have to rethink my steering: so I'm thinking about going with crossover (tie rod under the leaf springs) that way my drag link won't hit on my tie rod. Might even have to move the steering box forward. It's a big project when ya really think about it. Like a domino effect

You sure RJ?

Lets do a walk through on it, bring it over the night before and limit the number of peeps.

Sometimes too many people can be a problem...
