heres the tire bolted on, looks like i got some trimming to do. I intentionally pushed the axle forward for a more aggresive approach angle

Rear Mount secured to the frame, i'll probably add some side strength to it and go up the frame rail with a bracket

Worked on my locking hubs today. Had to midifiy them to work with my spindle set-up. I am using 75 chevy Knuckles, chevy spindles, chevy caliper bracket and calipers. Ford Rotor and Ford Hubs. I am suppose to use the chevy stubs with this combo cause they are a touch longer then the fords. So when installing all above components and using the ford stub, the stub doesn't stick through the spindle far enough to get the retaining clip on it. Well i ordered ford Chromo shafts, so i modified each of my four locking hubs to work with the Ford stubs. I have two of the stock cast type lock-outs (weaker ones) and then modified my Ford Lockouts that are pretty much indestructable (made from all metal except the dial). So now i have got all four Lockouts to work with the Knuckle set-up. I fi am feeling motivated tomorrow (day-off) i met just get medevil on the B2 with the plasma/sawzall
