Sweet. If you haven't checked my Trails thread lately you might want to. I'm sure there's some stuff in there that will be useful. It's a fun project for sure.

And in other news, I'm partnering up with SRQ Fabrications to build a 4600 truck for Ultra4. First event will be KOH.

Bumper looks good bud! High clearance is the name of the game now.

I want to build an ultra4, damn. I'll be dissapointed if you use anything less than a King 4.5 body 26" travel 6 tube bypass on the rear.

Hey Connor, I just spent a good amount of my spare time over the the last week going over your build. For someone who isn’t very knowledgeable about these things but is interested it was incredibly informative and enjoyable to read. I really appreciate the time you took to detail and photograph so many aspects of this build, it will really help me while I tackle my own.

Bumper finally got cleaned and painted yesterday:

Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my keyboard. She looks soooo good. Excited to see it in the rocks. The approach angle on yours and [MENTION=82211]TCMach[/MENTION] make me wanna rebuild mine....

What did you get? JD Squared Model 3? What size dies did you get? Need info man come on! Can't just drop that and walk away. LOL opcorn:

Model 32

1.5" die for upper control arms mostly (90 degree)
1.75" die for bumpers, sliders, shock hoops etc. (180 degree)

A couple of my friend's have other dies I can borrow, like a 2" we'll be using for the cage etc.

Been having some overheating issues with my short radiator and 2" body lift. This is causing the engine fan to not pull air through the radiator.

So I had to go electric. This way I'm pulling air through the radiator.

Parts List:
-Denso 221-3137 from Napa.

Has a 7/8" thick core, and only 18.75" tall. This is a 1/4" thicker than the auto zone POS I was running before.

Tight, but works

Anyways, it all works. I'm back to idling around 184 around town. Put I can't get a stupid radiator cap to stay on this thing.

This was after a quick highway drive:

So I ordered one through the dealer to see if theres are any better.


Also picked these up for the front end
