Finally got the trialing arms in.






I also redid the interior. I like the blue better. And I shot it with some flat clear to take the gloss off. Shiny driving suits looked weird.

Nice job on the stickers. They may be inkjet, but they turned out nice, and those KM3s look perfect on there. The travel with the training arms is impressive. This Jeep is coming along so nicely.

So this is a thing now.




The Gatekeeper swaybar fits a treat. The only thing I had to do was drill a couple holes in the plastic rear bumper crossmember to mount the furthest-rear screws. The front-two are already there to bolt the crossmember in place.



And that's that.



I've got 3 different stiffnesses of swaybar to try and right now I have the softest. But beyond that, she's basically done. Or at least as 'done' as these projects ever get.

Just a quick run to see how things worked out. Aside from the CG being a bit on the high side she's a lot of fun! Maybe I'll lower it just a bit.

Is that a trailing arm kit, or did you make those?

I ask because I'd love to convert my 10.3 Bronco to trailing arms, but the only kit I know of is way too big to work with the inner fenders. I'd also likely have to sacrifice some of the interior.

What you've got is something I could fit with minimal chopping of just the inner fenders. If I could find an open differential for my Bronco, I'd throw that in the front too. More desert, less rock.

That's an ExtremeRC4x4 kit.

They're good kits (I've bought their Enduro kit) but a little spendy for some cut aluminum.

Thanks. It's so much smaller than the kit they make for the 10.3.

I guess because the 10.3 is light years more radical, it needs a more radically big kit.
