Who has made own Long Arm Setup?

What the heck, here are some shots of mine. Gotta give beez a chance to make fun of my bugger welds.

[BThanks, but my rigs never been called "cute" before. With your draglink like that will your rig even stay on the trail let alone the street?

Matt [/B]

Not sure Matt since that's my trackbar and not the draglink. It's 1.5" .288 wall so it should hold up just fine. Working on the ram assist at the moment so the TB is temporary as is the curtain rod tie-rod you see in the pics.

Maybe this will help:

Have a little faith, it followed you & Richard up Wrecking Ball just fine. Wasn't it just us 3 that made the last waterfall? How quickly they forget. Did you have to declare yourself a 'big dog' or did someone bestow that title on you?

Did she weld YOURS too?

 

[FarmerMatt]

Sorry, I took the three link in your sig & figured you went trackbarless. That angle for a drag link without a trackbar could be interesting & it is one of Beezils hot buttons to push so I thought I'd get in 2 digs with one shot. Your rig's come a long way since I've seen it last. Have any good pics of the top mounts for the coil overs?

Oh... By the way. Richard hasn't made that water fall on any trip I've been on. Just wanted to be perfectly acurate. Can't give him credit for an obsticle he can't make. That fall has gotten his goat (pun intended) twice this last year.

Big Dog?... No, the wife says I'm just slightly disturbed, but any of you guys that have seen here drive will know who the disturbed one in this family is.

Matt

Hey Jump. I'm calling you out. Put up or shut up. Lets see how you think our welds should look like.

 

[Jump This]

Certainly no disrespect for your projects Matt. I don't think you realy think your hot melt work would be entered in a beauty contest. Buttttt.......show welds are part of what I do in the garage. Background in buggy building kinda leads you that way. And no....I don't have any pics I can post (heck don't even have a scanner or a digital camera) As I said before I am not even on the same page as far as XJ work goes.
Hope you didn't take my ribbing tooooooo hard!

Naw, I'll take the credit for my own bugger welds.

Well, that was my original plan. Inverted 3 link, but with full hydraulic steering. But I was too much of a wuss to do it so I went with a TB + 3 link......I also like to drive my Heep on the street every now & then to show those disco truck guys that scratches can be cool too.

I dont have any nice pics of the hoops at the moment, I've gotta finish stitching the fenderwells back together and make a crossbar setup to support the hoops, then I'll take some pics.

(besides, I need more sewer pipe to finish it.......that's a joke)

I feel bad for Goatman, all that acclaim but he can't make it up that little waterfall.......a shame that is. Maybe more rock stacking?

 

[FarmerMatt]

OK Jump, but until skill is proved you will always be known as a wantabe welder with little more skill than a monkey rubbing some worn through 110 electrical cord across a piece of rusty metal. So for short we'll call you Rusty Monkey. You start making claims you can't backup, you get tagged & bagged. I want to see these show welds.

You know this is going to cost me MONEY! My son (14 years old) thinks the pride of our garage deserves preservation!! He thinks I should go out today and get a digital camera! This is probably not the best place to mention this but...my most recent project won best in show (off-road cat.) over.....I think I'm going to regret this.....a JEEP!

 

[JnJ]

Best in Show? It must be really purdy. BTW, I have seen some very purdy welds fail. Seems there is more to good welds then just being purdy.
Now go get that camera so we can all see!

Do you shop at Costco, they have a great return policy. Just try one out and see if your completely satisfied.

I certainly believe beauty is only skin deep when refering to welding!!! That being the reason nobody should care what others have to say about there welds!! Unless......an opinion is solicited!! (or just plain old given outta fun)
My Dad is into the digital imaging world...he might be able to help me out with that. Until next time!! C-ya
