I got the first adapter made for your that goes from 1.5" hose to a pipe thread. Actually I broke my 3/4 tap making it so I had to go up to 1" thread. I can make another when my new tap shows or you can run an adapter?

The cage is nearly done, took all day welding and sanding and painting to get this far. it was only tacked together to begin with. got an idea on how to attach the back seat so it can be remove if need be, just like a 3rd row does. gotta get the top back on and roll it out and start on the front end before the weather gets to bad.

well I was tired from workin so much, so I just did a little painting today. it is lime green but the pics are little off. did that so I could get the top on next week and push it out to start on the front axle. one of my friends is going to come over to help wire everything for me , while I do other stuff.

box is in, all is mocked up. so now is the ram and the best way I see how is to make a mount on top of the diff. would this work or should I stick to trying to mount it off the axle tube.... I was also thinking of a small truss from axle tube to the top of the diff and mount to that, just not sure how or what that would look like.

If I get a chance and I remember, I'll post a picture of how I mounted my ram. It's mounted above the axle behind the tierod. The mount is next to the drivers side spring. Thought I had posted them, but looks like I didn't.

ok so this is how I did the ram. thinking on when the suspension is compressed that the two steer bars will become parallel so had to make sure the ram was out of the way. see the front spring mount on the ground, that's whats next. just not sure if im going with 52s or 56s.

I would flip the ram around, base end by the driver's side and rod end over the pumpkin.

I would flip the ram around, base end by the driver's side and rod end over the pumpkin. The only thing with that is the clearance between the ram and leaf spring mount. as it is, its going to be close with the smaller side.
