Thanks!
Abit more progress from this morning
Extended the original diff breather using a 45' and a 90' bends welded up, drilled a hole so it comes through the trussing, then welded it all up

[d_r_1989]

Little bit more of an update, had a busy day today, havent finished the mounts, just tacked in place Hoping to start on spring perches this week and get it sat back on some wheels

[d_r_1989]

Anofher busy day finishing the mounts. Theyre welded in but still not 100%, need to tie the rear uppers in some more and do the bumpstops.
Getting there though, nice to be back on its wheels aswell. Measured my new wheel base and its nearly 84" now, iv tried ghe body on and it seems to fit ok

[d_r_1989]

The slower progress is due to warm weather and abit of this

I've wanted to do exactly this for over 10 years, but never could because of blahblahblah youdon'tneedtohearmewhinge.

So I'm loving this, because there's a little bit of living vicariously going on! Keep it up!

Looks like all the other sj`s and samurai`s in your workshop are keeping a close eye on progress!!!!!!!!!

[d_r_1989]

Thanks
Yes the green sj maybe next inline with some toyota axles

I broke my phone so theres abit of a skip in updates but the body is back on temporarily so i can measure and mock up for shocks. Also have its wheels and tyres on now too. The bumpstops should stop the wheels hitting the arches when the other wheel is on full droop but only just.
Both wheels are 30" (from the lowest part of tyre) off the ground with a little more left to give.
Sat on its 33s its 15mm lower than my white sj which is standard spoa

That's looking awesome. Arches seem to clear aswell!
