Keep the build moving! I just picked up a new mrc pro and will be building a 1.5 TJ. I have been around awhile now but am getting excited to do a build with the mrc axles. I dont know why but I am.  |

I know you have been around good sir, I actually bought a rig from you a long time back, probably the 1st scaler I ever bought. Good to hear your using these axles....cant wait to see what you come up with. |

| Re: 1.5 Clod
I have never built an MRC before and the thought of building the underdog is what makes them cool! also there is some advantage. narrow skid and pumkin clearance. I am going to beef the hell out of the axles. Custom 4 link truss with panhard. I am going to attempt some home made beef tubes as well. If everything works out well I will send you doubles! |

| Re: 1.5 Clod
Very cool I appreciate it!! I can't wait to see the panhard, I won't have any issues with a chassis mount but the panhard I could def use guidance. I will probably will be working on this body for a bit longer. Let md know if you need anything |

My mrc pro shipped today so when it gets here I will hit the garage. The only thing I will need is your addy. As far as your frame mount and pan bar we will need to talk some more for measurements. |

| Re: 1.5 Clod  Closer to my goal. Wish somebody made the door ding protective moldings like the original has. I'm digging it. I hope the layers pay off. Lots of paint and drying time. I also realized I should have layed the cream white first as I spraying the yellow. I can't make anything easy. |

| Re: 1.5 Clod
As seen in before pics I never had a rear suspension. In fact the lesson I learned on this build. The drop bed doesn't really need to be THAT deep. I was really impedding on suspension options for clearance without rising the rig up. My whole mission was to keep everything low and stock ride height wise. Well I finally got some droop shocks in place and the rig holds its own weight now. Drive shafts next....   Also had an accident with my heater/ paint booth.....little damage, I was a bit upset as this we my only one with the Chevy on it. Anyway I'm gong to try and make a damage wrecked one...work with it. We will see.   |

| Re: 1.5 Clod
Ya the tailgate chapped my ass...patience isn't my biggest virtue, closer will dry faster, you get the idea. Anyway a little more attention to details make more crunch effect we might be able to make it work. Painting another just to be safe. I worry because no other parts have damage, a little inconsistent.
