Rear Suspension Throwdown

Our 1969 Jeep Kaiser, Project Spartan, kicks off with a quick preview of where all this work is headed—cab and fenders test-fitted on the frame—before we get into the dirty details. Brandon builds a custom exhaust from scratch, and the guys dive deep into rear suspension: CAD designs, 3D-printed mockups, custom-made parts, and some head-to-head welding to get the leaf springs and rear axle finally under the truck. Then it’s time for the big moment: mounting the body, core support, and fenders back onto the frame.
