Tore the bumper and skids off the front and under the front end..and I will be welding a ruff stuff winch plate in between the frame after removing the skid portion of the bumper there is no reason to keep the winch on the bumper.

Full droop the upper arms hit the tire. So should I use wheel spacers or redo the links with 1.25 tubing?

As soon as I get the rear done I'm going to spin it around in the shop and start tearing the the IFS crud off the frame.

Got all the rear links built, painted, and installed...1.5x.25 dom uppers 2x.25 dom lowers, 1.25 x.120 panhard ( I bought this one if I was to do it again I would just build 1.5 x.25 panhard.

Got alot done today help my dad pull the transmission in his truck, got all the weld washers put on the link brackets, and got the tear upper links welded up. 1.5 x 0.25 dom it's a little over kill but its what I have on hand. 3/4" rod ends and 5/8" hardware. When I get the lower links built...

Started tearing out the rear axle. Took a base measurement of 11.25 inches of travel in the rear from bumpstop till the swaybar contacted the diff cover with the h2 rear springs. Got all the brake parts pulled off to swap over to the donor axle. Opened the diff cover to pull the axles and man...

Not much today i replaced the wheel bearings and seals also replaced the pinion seal, mounted some brake line tabs to the axle and figure out how I want to bend the oem brake lines to fit around the new track bar bracket.

Worked on getting the avalanche rear axle ready to swap in. Put weld washers on the brackets I figure getting rid of bushings and going with rod ends it would be a good investment.. also got the jk rear track bar modified and welded on. I picked up a rear track bar a while back that is a little...

@zgfiredude you are correct but its out of the rain and cold....the shop is a 25 x 30 and both of my vehicles are almost 20 ft long. Here is the burb. When I start the SAS I'll swing the rear of the burb towards where the camera is and it should give me some decent working room.

Then my new to me high mileage expedition decided to start weeping from the water pump... found transmission fluid in the radiator and a severely over filled transmission...so the burb is running daily duty with a blown front diff and a g80 rear that won't unlock. My first water pump had the...

Started stripping the avalanche axle down for new bearings and seals. The innards look pretty good. I also cut off the sway bar mounts and oem panhard bracket. I will be installing a raised one for a JK.

I really set myself up for a fall....I registered for a rally tun in April so I've got to get the sas done by then....

More parts arrived just in time for Christmas.... this is all the joints for. Both front and rear axles also for the steering.

the project is still a go. been gathering parts slowly. I plan on replacing bearings and seals on the axles before they go in... also the current g80 in the burb has locked solid and I haven't been driving it much.

So the plugs do suck but a heat gun makes quick work of softening the glue. I had to wrap mine in aluminum foil and use a torch to soften mine.

the house is 99% finished, enough to start ordering parts and making other purchases. I picked up a front and rear track bar from someone who is making parts for this swap #tahoverlanding on Instagram he has done this swap on a Tahoe and have had it out for over a year now with no problems...

Im getting closer and closer to finishing the house and getting to work on the SAS...also ordered a maxi trac awning from napa should be here tomorrow... 100 bucks and parts interchange with the ARB awnings.

Congratulations to him for getting out of cali!
