I Beamed Jeep build pic's

[tone]

Very nice build! Oh and I like the bike rack on the hood is that custom or aftermarket?

 

[xcm]

can i ask why you guys put your rear upper control arm bolt, axle side, vertically?

also, any reason for the 3 link over a conventional triag 4link?

what kinda welder you guys running?

From my understanging with the bolt going down there's less binding on the heim joint and less ware

What did you use for your beam ends?

What did you use for your beam ends?

spindles and beam ends are off a 85 Bronco II 4x4 and the brake's work awesome so much better than the jeep one's.

...convieniently 5x4.5 =)

whats the track width at rideheight team ibeam? did you extend them?

 

[Baja_XJ]

ahah! lol guess i didnt read as well as I thought I did huh

btw its better to have the heim so that the bolt is sideways it gives you alot more range of up and down movement. and having it bolt sideways is less wear thats why radius arms, link ends, shock ends ect. all mount so that the most movement is in rotation of the ball not pivot

Vertically? I thought it was horizontal and the reason is thats where the hiem will see the most load.

I three linked it stupidly because I wanted to save money if I have any problems I'll just change it like everything else:confused1.

As of now I'm using a 220V clarke But really I wish I had my friends miller.

True in most applications but in the upper three link most of the load will be put side to side and would be trying to pull the ball out of the heim plus the hiem has more than enough articulation for my 27 in of travel.

[I Beamed Jeep]

The upper heim at the "frame" in the Rock Krawler 3 link is setup that way.

 

[1990heepxj]

hmm havent really looked at rk's 3 link setup the a arm part makes sense likt a uniball in the upper and lower for the spindle
