I may have found a replacement shock for the one I broke last fall. NOS........hopefully. Should know for sure by the end of Monday. It stinks when they discontinue a whole product line.
This is the cheapest way to get it ready at this point. Next step is FOX coil-overs and links up front.

Well, no good on the shock......had to order two 5125 bilsteins.
Other things in the works... I want to rework some things to be better suited for the kids.
I plan on making a gas tank to mount under the body and get the cell out of the tub.
Cut off the upper portion of the back half of the exo and add a full soft top(I'll be removing the front portion of fiberglass I have in there), and then weld up a new rear portion of exo.
Then I want to add the corbeu suspension bench, and add a tailgate to the fiberglass tub. Basically I'm trying to get back to a more stock body and top arangement to better ward off the elements.
So we'll see where it ends up going, but including my family is my hope and goal.

So my shocks showed up last night and I got them installed. They have the exact same valving, so I don't really notice any difference.

Relocated my rear shock brackets. Had to get them stood up again after moving the axle further back the last time. They weren't doing a whole lot the way they were. Now I have to get new lower bushings....the originals are shot. Shocks are really good yet, which is a surprise being they are from the original build.
Next I think I'm going to make some new shackle mounts in the rear and move them back a little further to reduce the shackle pitch.

Got this thing fired up and moved around so I can start getting it ready for the wheeling season. Think I'm going to throw a new brake booster at it this yr. A higher volume orbital valve for the steering and a few other mods......hopefully!
