I've owned it for 9 years and this is the 3rd time its been took apart and upgraded. Im putting a acw 6 rib in it, suspension seats, cut firestones, adding front shock mounts, saco rack, tweed stock height combo spindles, fk rod ends, msd distributor and adding side panels. I hope to have it ready by the end of april, I didnt pull it out of the garage last year and am determined to go riding this year

They were fine when i was running 5.00x15 but i prefer a taller front tire, it sits level with engine, trans, and fuel with the boggers but im going to run firestones this year and am already at about 40% droop in the front with the coilovers adjusted as low as they will go.

Great looking buggy! Out of all the mods you made I say putting those seats in it will be what you will like the most.going from poly seats to suspension seats is like going from riding a five gallon bucket to riding a Cadillac,lol.looks good though just enough bling to make that black frame stand out.Chad :mrgreen:

Thanks guys, i hope to have it finished by mid may but i still have a hundred small things to do. I didnt plan far enough ahead on the combo spindles and ended up putting jamar front brakes, somehow i decided that kingpin rotors would fit combo spindles without doing the research, expensive mistake. I wanted to do an x brace and a few other changes to the frame befor i put the seats in but looks like thats a project for this winter along with fuel injection and a dry sump setup lol.
