Hoping to have it done by the end of the month.

Yesterday, I mounted the airtank in the back.
Today started messing with limit straps for the front suspension and found a pressure switch for the compressor.
As shown in the pics there is still a foot of travel left in the suspension.

Tomorrow I will take a stab at the rear limit straps and front bump stops

Stuck a fairlead on the front and found a home for some tow hooks on the front.
