Thanks! I've lost a little of my momentum, but I am making progress still.
Latest task was redesigning the chassis to fit the rack and pinion steering. While I was in there I made room for a leimbach pump/custom reservoir and upsized the lift cylinder from 10mm to 13mm to account for the possible lower pressure. Boom had to be rebuild to change one part that I can't easily cut out for the bigger cylinder.
I also made a little tweak to fit lesu MCL8/skidsteer implements. Forks are my only plan, but technically I could attach anything. No aux hydraulics so the fun will be limited. I may try to get some wires routed to run electric accessories.
Axles, body, cab will all bolt on with no changes. Despite how it looks it closer than ever to running. Front steering works great. Rear needs a little tweaking, but nothing major.
