Re: bagged burb project..

today was a one step forward, two steps back day...we've been tweaking the cantilever portion of the KP kit. We have the plates fitted, drilled and mocked up, so we put the kp parts in (awesome). We brought the rear up and ran into issues with the panhard hitting the C-notch (not surprising). Then the 4-link bars hit the floor after about another inch. Most dissappointing was there is only about 2-3 more inches between the axle and the notch, so even with the floor notch for the bars i'm only about 1 inch lower than when i started...

Plus, we've got alot floor to cut out. I knew all the work would have to happen (floor and panhard), but i was hoping to use notch previously done on the truck even though it's not as tall or wide as one from the KP kit.

I thought i could get away with it.. I'm not sure i can. Moving slowing on the project and continually finding more work sucks...maybe it's the last 14 of 18 days with rain talking...Anyway, a couple pics of the progress below....

We pulled the 2nd row of seats tonight, so we'll start cutting soon.
