I just bought some off of Ebay. Did a Google search for Z-S1192 and found them

I must say thank you for posting pictures of your build. I see something that I think I have wrong on mine that I need to check when I get home.

Awesome build Digital. If you still not happy with the flex you can always get the Teraflex shackles and Zbox upgrade that RC4WD makes. It added so much flex to my Marlin that I get asked if it is a linked TF2 often. I also run a GCM scale trans/T-Case combo that allows me to run the Zbox on the rear of the front leaf springs. The Zbox will not fit on the front with factory transmision from what I’ve been told. If you have not dealt with GCM before, they are some really super nice people to work with. I told them I had a TF2 and they sent me the first mounting bracket ever out of their company for the TF2 at no extra cost. Awesome people and the 11% overdrive on the front axle with there kit is a must have for better turning and climbing.

Moved the steering linkage above the leafs, moved the g2 hoops back, mounted the shocks behind the axle...along with the xvd's the steering is so much better now. I think it slightly helped the front suspension soften up a tad because the steering linkage isn't as stretched out either.

Fenders should show up any day now.

You actually can install the Z-boxes on the front. You'd have to remove the trans and install them rotated to the outside. The Teraflex logo on the tab that mounts to the frame will be on the I side but the Z-boxes and the leafs will still line up normally. That is exactly like I have them mou yes on my marlin. Don't know if this will be doable on a SWB.
Check my build pics. On some of them you can get some kind of a view of the Z-boxes mounted up front.

I love the look of your rig. That wheel and tire setup is sweet. How does it perform on the rocks?

Thanks bud, to be honest I've only been messing around on a log pile in my backyard but hopefully I'll get it on some real trails soon. The tires hook up great so far.

Inner fenders are done. I used the same paint that I used for the bed. Since my G2 hoops are moved back I had to cut some slits in the top so the fenders could slip over them. Nothing the ole' Dremel can't fix.

Pretty happy with it so far I guess.

[neilus]

Yes! Loads better!

Did the window trim and cut the windows..

Got out to a great location today with my son, he ran his Wraith and I ran my TF2, had an absolute blast.

[Digital]

Got the fam up to the snow then pulled over to a random spot and ran the RC's, good times as always. Two casualties of war - 1) busted my yellow lab out the bed on a roll 2) my son ran his waith over my TF2 (very rude) and took out my chainsaw!
