I think I have the wheels figured out. Just need to sand them and weld em up along with ream the back side of the lug holes to accept lug nuts since I will be installing them backwards. I was going to slip them in the the correct way but I would be welding the spokes to just the thin inner rim. By having them backwards the spokes get welded to a rolled section which has much more strength (I think. I am at max back spacing because the centers of these wheels are way to small to go over the caliper even if I ground it down. I also think I will leave the 5 lug on the front as a rim stiffener and can bolt on a block off plate. They could actually be true reversible wheels.

looks awesome, the 4 link is cool cause its costing so little to do it, basically left over parts. I think it was good to 4 link the back instead of the front just cause the hole axle rap thing with a big block and paddles. what coil springs are ya going to use? it would be sweet to find like a dual rate coil but probably what ever you can find on the cheep. are you doing turn brakes too? I also think some nice shocks would go a long way out in the dunes. keep up the good work I'm watching

I have the stock front springs and another set of aftermarket springs. I'll start with the stock springs first.

I got the rear shocks mounted. Need to finish cage and seat mounts then the floor. After that I can do drivelines and exhaust.

guess I havent really done much on this let alone update it. A break in the weather gave me some inspiration to get back out and tinker. Started working on the floor. Hopefully I can get the tunnel made this week and start seat mounting. Its so close yet soooooo far from being done.
