I've been following a few threads on here and havn't posted yet. But I enjoy your build, probably mostly because you've taken it upon yourself to fabricate your own design. Great work..i'm inspired with my new D1 to take a few more calculated risks in my build.:sombrero:

Keep up the good work. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more.

P.S. can you send me some info/design on your siders? i'm in the market for some under armour for the rig and sliders a re a def. must. I need frame mounted though, not just sill. Thanks! (bperry83@gmail.com)

It's all good man! I really couldn't have that week anyways so it's quite fine! I'm down to go, I just don't know if funds will allow! What part of Arizona specifically?

hmmm... don't know of a time in oct that i could make it out there. maybe next spring if you're still living there. school kind of kills the whole travel-across-the-country thing.

pulling the trigger on these monday. i'm going to do a complete internal rebuild, including new oil, a recharge, new seals, and new valve stacks to get either an 85/95 or 90/100 compression/rebound setting for the rear.

i can't decide between 85/95 or 90/100. any input is appreciated.

What?!!! How did you score those?

tim tipped me off to them! they were on dweb for cheap. i need longer brake lines now. :coffeedrink: you can check them out when you come over. they'll be here early next week!

The rear bumper looks great! Hopefully I can join you guys on a few trips this summer.

thanks! it's not done though. i should get back to work on it this weekend.

If you guys need another set of hands and tools please let me know

won't need tools, but if you want to drive to birmingham, be my guest!

peter i'll install these, but will need to check the valving. i will probably rebuild them over the summer somtime. i need longer brake lines too!!
