Shocks and larger bump stops got put on the other day. Rear needs work. Need to extend the bump stops down in the rear.

Got a new valve cover on, finished up the fuel line for the gas tank.
And started patching the remaining holes in the body.

Great build! Would you have a part number on the F250 shock towers and the front and rear Bilstein shocks?

You did a good job cleaning up that valve cover, it was pretty nasty.

I don't have the part number for the F250 shock sorry, its a popular swap though. So the information is out there. The shocks are 5125 series. 12" travel in the front and 11" in the back. But I may change the backs to 10" Need to flex out the rear to see how much down travel I can get.

We actually did not use the one you picked up for us. We helped my uncle move last week and he had a brand new one in the box that never got installed before his cj7 sold.

Finally done welding up the body. Couldn’t find the correct body capture nuts. So ended up rebuilding a couple.

Sanded down the interior and firewall in prep for some raptor liner. Going to tint it to the same color as the jeep, similar as to what i did in dads Scrambler. That should happen Sunday.
Painter visited yesterday and showed me some pics of the painted parts he has in the booth. Should be picking up all that stuff tomorrow.

Yeah, I needed some as well and I called them and they sent them over pretty quick... I have been a very good customer of them ;)

I really like the body colored bediner. (y) I think that maroon / garnet color is my favorite on a Scrambler. And SO glad you didn't bedline the outside. That's going to look awesome!
