Default Terrafirma build.....Part 1.....Rear Done

This will be the first part of a few of this mild build. My goal is to build a street/highway friendly, tow ready trail goat...pretty much an all around vehicle when needed. Getting back in to camping from a 3 year hiatus, we need a vehicles to cross them creeks and up them hills (and also, take us to our vacation home, north of Lassen Park).

Installed the rear springs, shocks, cranked trailing arms, bushings, and brakelines. All hard parts are TF and the bushings are Polybush orange. The rest will come, as soon as the other parts do.....should be done in the next week or so... Here are the pictures of the completed rear so far, enjoy....

Nice upgrades. The area up by Lassen is great, my wifes family has been camping up there for the better part of the last 50 years. We usually camp on the south side of the park near chester in the national forest.

Thanks.

That region is "one of those place you need to visit" once in your lifetime. Spectacular area to just get completely away.

Ditto that. After I shredded some new stock trailing arm bushings Justin steered me towards the Orange Poly's. After a bunch of times wheeling and a Chcago winter they still look brand new.
