What is this?

 

Axle Truss

 

It's pretty sweet. Getting busy though. I'm going to River Rock the end of this month.

Truss for my d44 so I can 3-link it.

 

still in the future, going to school in cali this fall so money will be tight the next 1.5 years.

 

Wow, over a month and no updates?? Are you still in GA? I just reread the whole damn thing.

 

ya i'll be in GA until december/january. I doubt anything is going to be done to the ranger during that time. I'm buying a motorcycle to take it california and i'm leaving the ranger behind. When I grad from school i'll then be putting rocks/4-links/doubler/49's on and hopefully have even less sheetmetal than I do now.

 

VERY NICE

HOW MUCH HAVE YOU SPENT ON THE PARTS ???

 

too much. both axles have everything you can possibly do to them (in stock housing form).

 

I WANT TO DO THAT BUT TO A NEWER ONE IF I FIND IT AT A JUNK YARD

TO MAKE IT A DESERT RUNER


ALSO HAVE A CHEROKEE IN BIG CHIEF CUSTOMS

I DO ALL THE WORK

 

How much did this project cost in total? I'm not sure if you posted it, but I'm on page 27 and have yet to see anything. Good work, tho. Amazing talent to do this.

 

Thanks for the props, but as far as total cost I haven't told anyone. It's still under wraps so to speak. Most people want to know how much you can do a SAS for, but I had custom springs made, both axles are built to hilt so I threw WAY more money into it than most people would, but mine is for rock-crawling and I need the extra strength.

 

So when are we going to get some pics with the digi cam?

 

if i had to guess id say he has at least 1800 in the front end alone, and another 1000 in the rear. then springs prolly 500. this isnt including tires, rims, steel, or any of the little ****

 

Got 3 brand new tires because discount tire ripped the bead on 3 of them dismounting them.

Painting it soon. Selling the whole front suspension off of it in May.

 

When you sell that suspension are you gonna put something else in there just in case the truck needs to move or are you gonna just leave it on jack stands till you get to do what you want to it?

 

Depends. I'll use the money to buy a set of rockwells. I'll be living in california then and i'll fly home or have someone take it off the truck for me.

 

around how much money you gonna ask for the stuff?

 

im pretty sure its sold already to a guy from explorer4x4.com

 

yup.

 

This thread has officially been gone through and cleaned up. It is now 20 pages shorter.

 

? doesn't a spool lock both axles together making turns tough on the axles?

 

yes
