Small update:
-I picked up the brake caliper mount brackets for the 14 bolt(rear) axle
-I picked up an NP241 HD transfer case to use as a donor for the guts of the doubler.
-I finally pulled the trigger on the NWF Ecobox doubler kit
-I grabbed 100% of the suspension link brackets. Purchased across 3 different vendors with plenty of creative modifications still to be performed.
I made some good progress getting some of the 3D models for the engine and both axles, but unfortunately, they are just too taxing for my little laptop to run. Parts for a new computer build are on the way. Hopefully i will make some progress there in the next week or two.
In the meantime, I would like to solidify the full hydro steering and keep my eye open for deals on ORI struts and lockers.
Here's the progress on the virtual build. It's sitting at expected ride height on 37's with a ~19" belly. The rims are correct, but the tires are Trepadors instead of Creep Crawlers. The engine is still sitting up very high because it takes my poor laptop a minute or two to recover from literally every move I make. New computer case showed up today and the rest should be here in a couple days, then we can really start hitting it hard.
