engine is going to be the mighty 3B with a turbo, stock gearbox and a set of gears for the tcase.
Axles will be rockwells 4 wheel steer, if they ever get here!!!! Full hydraulic steering. Coil overs. I will be running 20 inch rims and 14.00r20 michelins.

Links will be double A- frame front and rear. Same as what slinky uses in the rear. The bottom A-frame for the front and rear will mount up to the bolt in crossmember in the pic. Gearbox mount is also on the crossmember.

I have the lifted the engine and trans to give more clearance for front upper A-frame and also gives a flat bottom. I want to run the chassis as low as i can as well.

Body will be just the cruiser firwall and bonnet and tube everything esle.

the chassis is cut off at the rear t/case output.

I am going put the wheel base at about 105-110.

Just an aside.... What is the wheelbase of a coil cab nissan patrol?

yeah tube from there back. only a loop back to hang the coil overs from and with some stays coming back from the rear main hoop of the cage to support it.

Wheelbase, around 105-110 inches.

i am just dropping the body on it at the moment, just up for a quick feed!

I will post some pics with the body on later.
