Got the upper link for the 3 link pretty much done this weekend. Just need to add some more gussests to reinforce the axle side bracket and clean up some welds but its strong enough to drive around on for now. Dont know why but still cant get the hang of vertical welds, they just booger up and look like shit.

Also tried mocking up the boostwerks steering box brace and the long pitman arm nut that slides into the bearing is just the tiniest bit off to the left and wont line up. Gonna take the steering box brace that ross fabbed up with the bumper out and grind down the spacers a little to get the box closer to the frame.

Shitty Ross built shit. Still running that shitty crossmember too :D

Ditch the inner spacer and just plate the inside rails and weld some spacer right to it.

Those brackets on the axle aren't going anywhere unless the kid before you cut them up.

Lies I love this crossmember, just wish I didnt build shitty shit and make the lca brackets hang so low and make poop welds on the upper and not make it a 3 piece and junk. When I actually have money for random stuff I'll probably mount the links to the frame rails and stretch the front a bit more though, aka in 5 years.

Might just weld the inner spacers on each side right in and put some plate around it to go back to the motor mounts. but then comes the whole cluster **** of deciding whether or not I keep the front bumper or not. have front stiffeners, have boostwerks brace, have crack in frame right under steering box, should plate frame and reinforce that like a mofo, but then bumper and brace wont fit. Also want recessed winch, but boostwerks brace gets in the way, so might just cut out grill and put a winch plate on the 2x2 inside the bumper skin. but then then id have to weld the bumper to the frame to still get full frame stiffeners. idk.

My bad looks like I'm that kid, I cut the passenger side upper off to put a jj there, only took about 2 hours :wow: Feels awesome on the road but we'll see how it holds up after smashing it into stuff.

LOL nice. With a true 3 link you're better off with a JJ but I really do like those RK tombstone mounts and joints.

Alright who's actually going to NACfest?

I spoke with Bill last night and we only have 7 PEOPLE registered so far. It's literally turning into when we had Rocktoberfest down in PA a few years ago.

Dundy? Ross? Billy? DB Dave? Patch? Justin? Colin?

I'm out for this year too, going to Vegas the following Thursday, so I'll need the vacation time/funds for that.

Yeah unless we get a BUNCH more people signed up we may have to pull the plug on shirts and raffle items and do that at RocktoberFest.
