...i have an HP30 housing, kinda rough, but might be of use to ya?

...you can have it; i posted it up in the 2010 karma thread along while ago

Sweet dude! I may take you up on that. I'll know more this afternoon when I take a closer look. It's possible he fubar'd both upper ball joints so I need to rule that out first. I'll let you know.

Looks like a just busted a lower ball joint. Camber is still pretty dead on. Need to look at the locker though appears I may have busted pins/springs or something....

I may still take you up on the housing though MelkorsXJ....sending PM.

LOL! that's me rooting my boy on, he was driving. He takes after his daddy! :sure:

Ball joints replaced and locker seems to mesh just fine now. I whipped up some gussets with the plasma cutter and welded them on. Amazing they cast in gussets for the lower but not upper!

Before gussets:

After:

It's too bad the coil springs are so close to the inner C else you could gusset the outside to the tube a bit as well.

Very true! Tks!

It's trussed all the way to the LCA on the long side. I started with 2x4" 1/4 walled rectangular tubing and plasma cut it to fit....

We won't make jumping a habit but it sure was fun to see the boy launch it!
