Thanks. i know these frames are not the strongest. I plan on lots of cage bracing up front. Shock hoops will be tied into the cage, and panhard mount will be tied into the shock hoop. i am trying to build it to not fail, but anything can happen. Pan hard is going right where the steering box was, and it is braced from the backside already from where the steering box was, as those were common to rip off even

steering will be full hydro. once i get the steering mount and truss built, bump stops will be added. just rubber bumps, no need for hydraulic bumps on just a trail rig like this. already have the steering stuff, sans lines.

trying to bust but and get this done as fast (but right) as possible. hoping to start on steering truss next weekend but due to other plans won't have much time to work on it. Hoping to have it done by memorial day. after steering, biggest hurdle will be to do the cage.

working on steering. got the cylinder mounted and a plan worked out for the orbital. Not the route i intended on going, but it was the most logical.

rough position of where it goes.

started laying tube out.

Originally i wanted to mount my orbital about where the factory steering box went. But my shock hoops and stocks are right in the way of doing so. 2nd option was to mount it to the fire wall, but simply would not work with the stock column. so we are on plan C, got rid of the stock column all together and mounting orbital and all inside. Got the mount figured out i hope, still keeping most of the stock dash.
