Well, here are a couple pics of the rear installed. I think the rear shackles are going to be rock magnets the way they are, but without shorter springs, I'm at a loss. I don't really want the frame extended. I have to do some looking. The placement is perfect inside the rear wheel well, though!

The gas tank is out in the pic. I'm still trying to figure out what to do about that. No one's done the frame cut tank lift on a SWB. Maybe I'll be the first. I have to do some figuring on what will happen to the rear geometry if I do.



A view from the front. Nothing but beef. I don't know how I'm going to provide tread coverage for Kali roads, but I'm sure we'll think of something...



What I'm considering now:

Tube fenders.
Windscreen back chop (A/C is jettisoned, but Monterey's cold).
Don or Justice front and drop down rear cage with spare on the inside.
Permanent seating for 3.

More to come...
