I've been terrible about updates.
I'm now 10k miles on the SAS build and loving every mile.

I've changed a few things since the initial build. The electric steering setup failed miserably with way too much load on the electric motor. I would need a much much larger electric motor to run the system efficiently. As an alternate, I built a power steering pump bracket that mounted right below the alternator and runs off the same belt as the alternator.

I switched to 40" cooper's, but I had to limit up travel significantly to run them off road so I dropped back down to 38x13.50 Nitto Trail grapplers.

This is honestly one of the most fun vehicles I've driven on and off-road. I can comfortably do 90mph on the freeway and just as effortlessly do the same speed on a rutted dirt road. It has more power than necessary for daily driving and rips through the gears.

I did grenade the rear diff about 1000 miles ago, but have that fixed and up and rolling again.

The only real changes I plan to make is to the sound system and I plan to add a winch under the bed to pull people out with.

I'll try to add pictures as I can.
