You sir are the man!   Love the work.
Buy some safety glasses.

Front end is in.  Just the steering arms left and hook up the brakes.





Also got going on the rear.  Cleaned the frame up, cut off the old leaf hangers.  Built the Frame mounts for the 4-link....

Some update pics of stuff in a more complete state....All that remains is some kind of front tube work/swaybar mount and remove the 3" body lift.  That'll bring it back down to the ride height I am looking for....

Are all the bombs and brinks laser cut or water jet or do you have a jig and use a plasma? Nice work too.

I have a CNC plasma table in the garage.   ;D

DIY kits are available with your lettering in place of my Brink lettering.

Table is 4x8.   Too big for me really.  Thinking of cutting it down.  Just gotta wait and see what I need to cut for my own Jeep after this winters mods.  Might need more than 4x4 for some of it.

What are you charging per inch of cut for 3/16 and 1/4 mild steel? Are you out of Cal or Red Deer?

Sylvan Lake

Do you have drawings?  Really just using it to cut my own line of fab parts.  But maybe we can work something out if you are in need.

I've been looking into cad programs. For now I've been making  templates and transfering to steel then using a Plasma cutter to cut out stuff,by hand with straight edges and different radius plugs. Is there a specific program that your cutter uses?

Added some tubing to the cage for Whit this week.  Sweet family style cage that still adds some style to the safety that comes with it....
