Coming along nicely Joe! I put a set of those Racelines on my Bronco last year and I really like them. I'm sure you will like them too! What Atlas are you running? I'm thinking that I am going to go with an Atlas very soon. Thinking about the 2 speed 5.0:1.

This is the 2.0 4 speed version. So 2.0:1, 2.7:1 or 5.44:1. Basically it's going to be very similar to the Klune-V I had in front of the D20 in the 300 inline rig. But a little more engine....

I'm not Steve, this will have a good amount of lift on it and I'm not planning to do the extreme stuff with this one, I have the buggy for that.

I actually ordered the Atlas with the clock flat option and had to put a clocking ring on it to get it down to where it is.

It still sits higher than the link mounts, so should be fine.

I have considered lowering the whole assy, but then I'd have to cut the frame horns off, lower them, etc... Maybe I'll do that next winter.

Nice work as usual. With moving the front three inches forward, will you have to mess with the cross member? I have the same set up in a box (Scout forward facing box) and the sane front suspension dreams.

Love the 408 stroker emblem. Where did you find them? I have a 408 stroker also and would like a pair.

I can't believe I missed this Joe. Nice build! You always have something you're working on. Looking good. What's your design entail for the radius arms? I have considered getting longer springs for mine as well, and then moving the spring hangers up to get more of a flat belly.

It's actually 6" forward and there are no issues. I did the same thing on the last one and welded the new upper track bar mount directly to the bottom of the crossmember where it meets the frame.

Got them off Ebay. Do a search for "stroker" and a couple vendors will come up.

I'm not sure yet. I have a couple of ideas in mind, but I'm still working out the details. I'm heading out of town for a bit, but I'll get back on it when I return home.

So the Brown Santa came today and dropped a couple of items off.

Here's the new Hi-9 center section, 35 spline ARB, 2nd load bolt, etc...

And here is the 1310 Yoke for the front D60:

Here's the front D60:

And the PSC 1400 PS pump on the bracket:

That hi-9 is no good, you better send it to me for proper use, errr I mean disposal...

Yes, it's a terrible thing. Come on out here and buy the neighbors place and I'll think about it JD...

Got the body flipped over on the jig and spent HOURS cleaning and blasting it to get all the junk and grease and dirt off it.

Still some more work to do, but I'm hoping to shoot the liner on it this weekend.
