'72 Bluggy: Rocks/ 47s/ LoMax

...grinded some rivets off the frame this weekend to take off the shock mounts & bumpstops brackets, set up the front xmember for the 52s, and well, that's pretty much it...:doah: ...drank my first beer, & after that the day just went by...called up my buddy & hopefully we'll have the suspension set up for sure this Friday, then get everything preped for paint so i can bolt up the axles, then the tub...damn it, i can already envision it...:D

...well it was a long day today...got out of school after noon time...headed to my parent's home {an hour drive}...loaded up a D44 in the rain that had been sitting in grass for almost 2 years with only the help of my 10 year old nephew :haha: ...drove another hour to drop off the 44 & to pick up some wider H1s...then drove another hour back to remount the H1s on the 44s...& finally drove the hour back to my apt...sucked driving but well worth the wider H1s :D ...my nephew helped me out a lot & took off all 32 nuts from the H1s once i loosened 'em for him :haha: ...but still saved me time...well i'll be trailoring my stuff to my buddy's shop tomorrow to hopefully set up the suspension, so wish me luck on getting more pics of more progress

...here are the Boggers mounted on the 60/70...the rear 70 still has to be moved...the front 60 is just about right where it's going to sit with the 52" spring swap...will be sandblasting the frame & springs this week, then my buddy will be boxing the frame, & hopefully after that we'll dive into setting up the suspension...

...i very well may be the envy of many...but gotta love it...lol...here's my JB Conversions lo max complete, ready to bolt in...i figured that after having to get the lo max kit, a new np205, upgrading to 32 spline inputs & outputs, and modifying the shift rails, the price was really hard to beat for the complete unit...
