And i got my blast cabinet altogether over the weekend. Made sure to seal all the seams and joints. Gonna hopefully get that hooked up this week to air and get some media and give er a wirl. Also picked up a oven off local sale site for $50. Thinkin of buyin a powdercoating gun to do the small things. And can use it at work for heating press fit stuff and what not. Win win i guess.

 

Also helped a coworker with his truck this weekend. Drive to pick up set of rims and tires, Was getting some rust on the rockers and fender wells. Did some flares and bedlined the bottoms.

Keep it going dude, looks good! Get some more pics up of your shee. Did you ever get those bits from JDS

Thanks man! Havnt really made any real progress lately. Just been gettin all my parts in and some tools setup for use later on. Got a few side jobs yet to finish up than i can focus more on the bike.

 

Also still waiting on things from JDS, i had called them roughly a week or so ago and were waiting on bracket to be back from powdercoating. And my JL swinger is a couple weeks out too. But I did get my yfzr hubs today!

I would love to order some stage 3 elkas right now. But cost is keeping me. I found a set of triple rate works front shocks on ebay

Thinkin those and have them with my rear gone through. I remember seeing a guy on here that does shocks.... Something "cal" suspension!? Socal maybe?

 

Also need to cut my brackets for yfz calipers to fit, order a fancy bolt kit, and new bearings/bushings for all my suspension components

Lol. Okay okay, I get it. They'll get scrapped!

 

Anybody got white plastics they'd trade for black? Trying to decide what color to powdercoat stuff. Frame definitely red or blue. If I do red frame i would do either black or white plastics. Blue frame white plastics and white arms/swinger. How do you guys decide color combos??
