Well I finally updated the phone to ios7 and went through all my pics and realized I have a ton. So I'm starting a build thread..
It all started August of last year. Went to the Cliffs with a couple buddies. Took some sweet poser shots!
Then I got bored and talked everyone else into running the trail Carnage. Well I was leading and this happened.
We pulled it back over, topped her off, and drove 40 miles home. Not much damage but it crunched the windshield pretty good. This is flop #2, #1 happened July 4th 2010 in my buddies back yard, put a sweet crunch in the roof.
A day or two after flop 2.0, I was cruisin Pirate and found a pair of these bad boys for $300 shipped. 14" 2.5 ProFender air shocks. Yeah it's a lot of shaft...
Needless to say I bought them.. I called up Kelso the next day and had him order me 160' of 1.75 .120 HREW. I yanked the front end apart, sold the old JESUS CHRIST ROCKZ bumper on GL4x4 and cleaned up the shop
First things first, I wanted to stretch the front another 2" and ditch the BALLSACK FAB joints (JUNK!). So I cut the arms, sleeved the 2" .250 wall with some 1.5" .250 wall (yeahhh .500" thick!), welded some new bung holes on on 2" farther down, and screwed in some bad ass 1.25" RuffStuff heims.
To be continued.. real soon actually
