I assembled the reareand today and installed the brakes. One bracket must have been bent after it was made as the caliper would not line up with the caliper mount spacing etc. I had to rebend and adjust the bracket a lot to get everything to line up. But once I did the caliper and the brakes all came out great. I did a paint job on the housing and the center section. Mounted the brakes and it's all ready to go. Just have to run the brake lines.





I'm painting the ladder bars a metallic silver. They're drying right now. More pics to come of the ladder bars. I'm taking the front ladder bar crossmember to the guy that installed my front clip. He's going to build brackets and weld them to the crossmember. Then I can bolt everything together, place the axle and ladderbars/crossmember all into placed and tack it all in. That will be next week.
