The front end is one of those areas that some people do right of the bat and others wait on. I just happened to wait on doing the front end on mine. As far as all of the money stuff goes, I'm a divorced father to an almost 4 year old girl. I work hard and spend a ton of time with her. All of my other time is spent doing things around my home or out in the garage. A friend of mine said something to me a few years ago that I simply live by anymore " Stay in your financial lane " and that is just what I do. I have no debt other than my mortgage and spend my expendable cash on cars, it's just my passion like I believe so many others here share the same feeling in varying degrees. Also like you said I do everything myself. I fabricated all of my own chassis, wired and installed every last piece on the car since it was a 4 banger. The only work I don't do for the car is the engine machine work and painting (other than a rattle can lmao) that's it. I have saved tens of thousands of dollars in this build by doing this all myself.Nice work 84T! I'm surprised when making over 1,200 rwhp that the front end wasn't reinforced a while ago.
To others about making $$. For most people, you got to put in the time to learn a valued skill and then be willing to work hard and work a lot to make more $$. For me I make an OK living but that mostly goes to my 401k, mortgage, wife, my 5 y/o son and twin 5 mo/old daughters. Some OT and wise money management (living within my means and i don't like credit cards) gets me my pink slips to toys like my 05' yz250, 87 t-top and 88 notch. Doing my own wrenching, body work and paint saves me lots of dough so I can invest in mods and restoration.
@84t, did you already have a tubular K member before you got the UPR suspension components? Did it get damaged? I'm asking because i'm looking to get one used on the cheap that will work with oem arms.

a man after my own heart. I've git my custom smoker sitting in the back yard. I used to have a whole trailer for competition cooking but I was single and stupid and got burnt out from doing it by myself. now I limit my meat smoking to 6 racks of ribs, 2 turkeys, 16 turkey legs, 6 whole chickens, 4 hams, 4 briskets or 8 pounds of beef jerky.Lets start with my made from scratch Honey BBQ Chicken Tenders...
