Is the wheelbase about the same? how far back did you shove the motor? I guess I'll have to xome over there and see it again....a lot has changed. better hurry before you get hitched...those "honey do's" will kill progress.

Nice build. Can't wait to see it on the trail.

your hypocrisy bores me
***, coming from you that is soooo funny
the wheelbase is 110.5" at full bump so at ride height maybe 3/4" shorter. at first I wanted it a little longer as I planned on 40's but there just isn't enough room between the door hinges and turn signals in the front to be able to full bump and full lock the steering and keep a very low ride height. the motor is moved back alot. from where the front pulley of the 6 cyl was to where the front of the v8 pulley is now it's about 14" back. only the front 2 cylinders hang out from the firewall.
****ing sweet. Interesting idea using the PSC full hydro ram as both tie rod and hydro-assist. I like that your engine sits pretty far back. Always makes me nervous going down hill with all that weight up front. Lots of cool stuff!
Every pic I see though has less body. I'm sure the guys at 218 wouldn't mind coming out to help you remove that last little bit.

Just to clarify, that is the 3-ish car shop. The garage is actually next to it, and when he re-built the house (he bought it partially burned down) they relocated the kitchen in front of the 2 car garage and made it a 4 car garage. (Think really long 2 car garage) He has twice as much garage space than house space. It's the epitome of a car guy house. I'm jealous.
On topic: C-bone looks good Ry, it's got the big mota, I bet it'll lay rubba.

Didn't you watch Extreme 4x4 this week? Extend the front fenders.
The disco ball in my mouth, insinuates I'm ballin'
I didn't notice this. Why not full hydro? Redundancy?
and the house/garage/shop sounds awesome!
I don't think I trust steering to a fluid coupling only, and it will have a much better road feel with a box. I really want to be able to drive this thing on the street quit a bit.
yup the house is kinda odd garage to house ratio wise

Went by Ryan's tonight. He's been working on the cbone some more. Snapped a couple pics while I was there. Here's some pictures of his air bumps and brackets tacked into place on the front. He's still got some more work to do on the lower bumper, but still progress none the less.

Here's a few of his upper coilover mounts. He said, "I'm still thinking about some kickass tower brace to put between them." So pics of that will have to come later. Here's the passenger side.
