I'm going to be slip streaming my mates JK all the way, two of the most un-aerodynamic cars in history in a convoy! Guess we'll get to visit plenty of servos

Started fitting my antirock swaybar today even though it was 6000 degrees outside. Started by cutting out some mounts for the cross tube from some 50x50 and cleaned them up, then gave them a test fit to check for clearence....

[/IMG]

Then measured my centres and burned them onto the tube. I needed to use a packer to allow the front to clear the lower spot welded section of the lower support panel so I cut them out and plug welded them on....

[/IMG]

Got every thing test fitted then cleaned up and shot with some kill rust....

[/IMG]

Had to do some trimming in the front for clearance so I can mount it up as high and as far forward as possible....

[/IMG]

Also made up some nut strips to go inside the frame rails and had to relocate some of the wiring inside the lower portion of the front fenders. Paint should be dry in the morning so I can fit it up and setup the arms and links. I'll post up finished product hopefully tomorrow night.
