HOrnbrod Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Seconded. What's the top speed now with those big meats?
jbain Posted April 16, 2018 Author Posted April 16, 2018 Thanks guys, with a tape measure alignment and no swaybar I was running 60 but it got sketchy at times.
jbain Posted April 16, 2018 Author Posted April 16, 2018 Couldn't help but cycle the suspension a little this evening.

Jeepinerik Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 Love your build and always happy to see another WV MJ!

jbain Posted April 20, 2018 Author Posted April 20, 2018 Finished wiring and plumbing the ARB as well as wiring the winch. Probably should get started mounting these.

Swampy Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 What a beautiful truck. Makes me want to just finish my truck already. But still no where near that end goal. Keep sending pics please

coolwind57 Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Yep. Appreciate you sharing your build. I'm diggin' it.
PCO6 Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Now THAT'S impressive. I'm inspired to build a Canadian equivalent. A "golden beaver" would attract some attention.

HOrnbrod Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 There's quite a history on Ritchie Mines. Looks like a beautiful place to cruise.
jbain Posted April 27, 2018 Author Posted April 27, 2018 It's a nice ride and very cool to see in person. I had heard of it for years but had never walked the half mile to the actual location. Here are some pics I took of the area.
jbain Posted April 28, 2018 Author Posted April 28, 2018 The moment you realize you have 23 inches of ground clearance at the frame rail but the hood of your tow rig is still 1 inch higher.
jbain Posted April 28, 2018 Author Posted April 28, 2018 Stretched The Eagle a little today so I can figure out limit strap length. Also looks like I'll have 4 inches of up and 7.5 inches of down travel.
jbain Posted April 29, 2018 Author Posted April 29, 2018 Started working on the topper this evening. My plan is to sleep in the back for our 18 day Colorado/Moab trip this summer. I got all the windows pulled and started stripping off the old blue paint.
jbain Posted April 29, 2018 Author Posted April 29, 2018 Paint stripper, sandpaper and razor blades are making quick work of the top.
