i dont know what youre building but it looks like the secksiest diving board eva!

Haha thanks I'm just bracing the plate where the ram is mounted.

God, no. But I'll probably drive it around tomorrow a little bit.

Nice gap around the cast part, I'm glad we left that clearance space for thermal expansion...wait...what? :dunce:

Coming along nicely. I can't wait to nerf you at Line Mountain. :firedevil

I'm just going to go ahead and call you a dick on all three counts.

Coil mount bases done. Tacked the coil plates in to where they should be, might need to change them.

Tomorrow I have a club meeting but might get some time at night to work on it.

Please tell me you are going to mount a crap ton of lights to that front axle bar? That would look wicked sweet, and I bet would get a ton of street cred.

Seriously though Colin, I think you should mount some lights there. I've thought about mounting some in the stock unused TRE holes in my knuckles.

If I mounted lights there, they'd be gone before I get through one trail.

Hahaha thanks Rob

take good notes, Mr Secretary

I suck at my position.

 

[MoparManiac]

Got the frameside trackbar bracket half finished. Just need to make two tabs to grab the joint.

 

[Begster]

Colin, take pictures in the light and without turrets syndrome. kthxbye.

X2

 

[MoparManiac]

Got the frameside tabs tacked into place. Will get the axleside ones tacked in tomorrow.

4" drop from the rail, and will be 4" raised off the tube truss.

Hopefully the pics are clearer :gee:

 

[ROBZ95Xj]

looks stupid

 

[foxwar71]

Your framerail is gunna implode.






Much better pics this time though :thumbup:

 

[Dundy]

SQUARE BUSHING!!!!!!! WHAAAAAAAT!!!!

 

[MoparManiac]

360º of misalignment.

 

[foxwar71]

360º of misalignment.

You have 90º increments of 360º of misalignment.

:shocked:

 

[MoparManiac]

Got the axleside trackbar mount tacked in place and tacked a trackbar together. Adjusted the frameside a bit as well.

This is at full bump. 32" from bolt hole to bolt hole. 7/8" x 5/8" heims.

Tomorrow I'm going to box the mounts and burn them in as well as the trackbar itself. Then ill box in the UCA mount and build the UCA as well.

 

[ROBZ95Xj]

looks friggin awsome doodparty1:

 

[MoparManiac]

Finished up the trackbar mounts and the trackbar. Also welded in the coil plates, and figured out I need a shock that's about 16" compressed.

That's pretty nice. I like the axle pan hard mount. I am not going full hydraulic, but I might have to copy you anyways. Whats the OD and wall thickness on the tubing you used? Sure it was already covered but I am lazy.

Bird poop booger welds FTW!!!

It's just 1.75 x .120 DOM. If I was to do it again is run some 2 x .120 cut in half over the front and top to help with dents and so the trackbar bracket has 0 chance of tearing.

I added the other tube and gusset to hopefully prevent that.
