Nice! I see you used a 8.8" fox rear. Did you have to fabricate the mounts yourself or is there a kit for that?

there is a kit.. but im doing it myself. im not using any kind of kit for any of this.

one of the main reasons i chose the 8.8 with stock links is b/c i plan on switching to cobra irs later on and it will bolt to the same mounts.

Interesting build, I love things that are different.

Must have sucked to move mid build!

Do you have any idea what it will weigh when complete?
