jbain Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Here is what the Spring retainer plate with the lower bumpstops looks like. I made the hockey puck removable in case I need to quickly remove it for extended highway use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbain Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 4 inch bump on the rear is finished! Tme to clean up and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 After finishing up the bumps I did some driveway Flexin' and I'm real happy with how everything turned out. Final lift is 5 inches with 3 inches of up and 8 inches of down. Rear is 2.5 inches of up 6 inches of down. Now she's ready for the trails.

jbain Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Well I figured I would tackle the Boostwerks Ultimate Steering Brace today. I chose the weld together kit for price and it let's me ensure a perfect fit on what may not be a perfect 30 year old Unibody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbain Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Mocked up the axle side swaybar mount using a factory length link. Should drive much better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Finished up the swaybar and I can't believe how much better it handles at speed. Drives like a Cadillac! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 It looks amazing. This and the zone offroad comanche are my build goals. Curious as to how the swaybar would would affect suspension travel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The factory links will eventually be replaced by quick disconnects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been dealing with the consequences of my cave-man fender trimming for years now and haven't decided how to do it. Best I've come up with so far is completely removing the outboard half of the inner fenders and working them with an English wheel or something.

jbain Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 I've put about 1200 highway miles on The Eagle as well as a couple real hard wheeling trips, time for a tire rotation and a nut and bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbain Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Finally got around to painting the Topper for The Eagle. Prep is the worse part of a job like this but I'm glad it's finished. Still need to install a couple windows and the rear hatch but I'm happy with how it turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
