nice! keep it going.

 

Got the rest of my trailing arms parts today. Sadly this will be one of the last things I finish due to needed to calculate some things after everything else is finished.

 

Honestly, given its a Rover and it's never going to handle like an ultra 4 car. You could probably just make them 35" on center and they would work just fine. It would be better than what you had before in any case.

There is only so much you can do with only the lower links. Just try and get the frame side mounts as low as possible.

 

The truck is hibernating for the winter, LOL. It sucks not having a garage to work out of.


On the bright side I got to use my Plasma again. I removed the Bottorf sliders from my trail truck but the nuts were totally seized. After breaking a GearWrench I decided to just cut them off. For a cheap little Plasma this thing really does alright. It was way easier than a sawzall or cut off wheel.


The new D2 Cruise Control ECU is earmarked for the '95 as well.


I pulled my Fox 2.0 Emulsion shocks because I didn't want them sitting out all winter, and I'm glad I did. Some already had a little corrosion on the body!!! I'm going to clean them up and spray them with PlastiDip to protect them. I also removed the heims and have new urethane bushings from Off Road Warehouse to go in.

 

Get some long underwear, drink a coffee and man up, it's not that cold yet

 

Yeah yeah. I'm just getting ahead of the bad weather. I've got the garage and shed all sorted. The '95 is all bundled up.
Besides my shocks I'll be checking my diffs and building some steering links.
Plus this winter I'll be working on our bathroom and finishing the basement which will keep the little lady happy.

 

but you has garage?

 

Its an old 1 car from the 50's. I could probably pull the truck in but opening the doors to get out probably wouldn't happen. There's not enough room in it to actually have the vehicle in there AND work on it at the same time.
And the housing market blows so yeah....... >

 

i'd rather have that than my rubbermaid shed and gravel driveway!

 

That is true. I can keep my snowblower in there and weld in there in the winter.
