with crusty being a driver again and the snow we got the other day, it was time to clean the garage, set up my new heater and bring in the frame!
before the swap starts the front spring perches need to move in for clearance of the tires and easier articulation.

Cool,
Not sure what your steering plans are? But I am converting my buggy to full Hydrualic steering. I will be selling my ram assist system,complete with sidekick box, PSC pump, cooler, hoses, remote reservoir,pulley, belt and bracket for the pump to fit a 1.6l suzuki engine. 1/2 the price of a new system.

for now my plan for steering is just to get the sidekick box and a remote resevoir.

Jim, keep me in mind for that when it comes out.
