GQ Dual Cab Chop

Any particular reason for the adjustable panhard bars be tapered on one and only with the other end fixed/welded? The way I imagine, if you build it tapered both ends (so with an "floating" adjustable section) you could adjust the track position without taking the panhard chassis end out, which is a pain to put back when misaligned.

That's just how they came. I've had issues with double adjustable bars coming loose before so I'm good with these ones

Interesting to know, as I am just about to turn mine into adjustables. If comming lolse is a common issue, I may have to change my plans and make them like yours.

fwiw i run double-end adjustable tie rod and drag links (no lift) and have no issues.

I'm pretty sure we were talking panhards. Tie rods factory double adjustable drag link can't remember lol

These do not twist over their axis when suspension work. The panhard bars on the other end do twist over their axis. This is probably what caused the unlocking of the locking nut that overlandh1978 experienced.

Nice color! It is looking really great!
That bulbar is not originally for a GQ is it?
Please share some pictures from the back panel used to close the chopped part. Does it look good from the inside as well from the ouside?
