I'll see you there. I cant go to Moab this year either, but keeping my streak alive with WENT attendance.
What trails are you running this year Patrick?

Do NOT weld anything over 1/4 inch. This is a short circuit transfer welder. Not a spray or globular welder.My little welder came in today. Hell for $180 I couldnt pass this up. Has really impressive reviews on amazon and youtube. Gonna be perfect for the garage and to take to events for broken parts.
Runs on both 110v and 220v and has a 60% duty cycle which is really impressive on its own. If it only lasts me a couple years and I run the hell out of it, well worth that $180

My bad here. I didnt realize this was a SMAW. I thought it was a GMAW.Truth. If I have to run anything thicker I wil have to seriously bevel it out. Bought this mainly for repairs and small projects. I really dont like Smaw process for most things, but the simplicity is nice for repairs in the driveway.

Well that's cool.Minor little update. I managed to get ahold of a company that used to sell Delrin Intake Plenum spacers. They had recently gone out of business but their Facebook page was still up and I managed to get one of their last spacers. I will install it when I get to doing the valve covers and such this summer. Evem if it doesn't make a difference at least I tried to make some power.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice
Hey awesome build man, I had a question though. What steering components are you going to use with the SAS? Maybe I missed it?
Dats so pretty!Both sides have spacers for the lowers

I mean, its a VG33....so...yeah....
Coming along nicely.
I'm looking forward to seeing it. Ii wish I had the skills to do something like this. Maybe one day. I bought a second X (2011 P4X) so my 08 is primarily for trail duty and I can hopefully work on the extreme mods in the future.
I'm not sure but a flat pitman might not clear the frame track bar bracket (leaf setup does not have a track bar). Maybe because it is shorter it will be okay...something to check.Couple things bought this morning. Orders a Sky Offroad Designs flat pitman with a GM taper and for a toyota. Another member is currently running one on his leaf setup and said he isnt having anymore binding with the stock pitman and the Y-link.

Will the shorter arm limit your turning?
