 | order any front and rear ends they want. The stock 3.73:1 gears were left in for strength and Detroit EZ Lockers were installed front and rear. Front Samurai disc brakes were retained, but the rear drums were 86'd in favor of a disc brake kit from Spidertrax.
For suspension, we thought that leaf springs should have been used, but Alan wanted more for his Flat Fender. He chose to go with coilovers from Sway Away and a | custom control arm system of his own design. When we saw the Jeep in Moab, he had just put it together and was still working out the bugs. While it impressed us on obstacles, we felt it sat too high. Alan agreed and has since lowered it a couple of inches (coilovers are nice in that they allow you to easily do that). He also told us that the bracketry on the frame and axles was prototype and production kits will look a bit better. | |
