damn kids... always got to be playing...lol

 

Just read through your whole build up to this point . Everything looks amazing.

 

thanks

 

threw some more metal at this thing, probably was not needed but this thing is stout as hell now...

 

Looks great, bet that thing weighs a ton. Were your front tires off the ground? Haha

 

haha.. I would guess it weighs about 30 pounds but It still need these welded to it

 

Nice clean looking welds man. What type of welder?

 

 

thanks but I didnt do them, my cousin works at a welding shop and they got alot of different machines in there

 

Mo fuggin beefy cross member dude. Shouldnt break it. Now hurry up and put it to use.

 

man, im in love with that bumper, and i love the lil guy on your skid hah. this is looking amazing, can't wait to see it all done. gonna be one BA truck.

 

just ordered some rims, should be here in a week and then its time for tear down

but I will still have to get a front drive shaft and regear the rear end befor any wheeling can take place

thanks, I broke my camera, so I dont know if im going to be able to get pictures of the rest of the build
sucks right when the good stuff is just about to start

 

How soon do you need a shaft? Cuz I threw one together myself, with a TTB (93-97 Ranger) front shaft, cut and lengthened it I think 6" over what it was and re welded it. I have no vibration until 50mph in 4-hi. Shocking! I had that shaft laying around and decided to put it to use. It's not a long travel, but it got me around this winter with no issues.

 

yeah, those front re-lengthen shafts work ok. most lifted trucks here use them. i have a nissan pathfinder one, dont remember how much we lengthened it. cost me around 60$ and no vibration and its pretty beefy

well it went under the knife today, I got all the suspension off and cut off almost all the old mounts

still working on the main crossmember but not a bad start for one afternoon by my self with only hand tools and a 4.5" angle grinder

 

Pics or I don't believe you Koyn

 

I broke my camera, but maybe I can get razor edge Ryan to come snap some pics for me

 

You can afford $10k in your suspension but not a new camera

j/k Cant wait to see the pics man!

 

Sorry I missed your call the other day Koyn. I was in Oklahoma visiting family. I'm back now though so hit me up sometime.

 

haha, yeah I spent it all on parts

no worries bro, I will have the frame all the way cleaned up by tonight
if you have any free time tomorrow you should come by and snap some pics for me/help me center this axle

 

Can't wait to see it!!

How's your stock steering rack?

 

centering the axle is the easy part. Cutting all that **** off the frame, inside and out is the b!tch

 

Done yet?

 

worked on it for a few more hours tonight and got every thing else cut off the frame and then got the frame nice and perdy

also got my rims today and had the tires mounted on them

 

the rack is good

yeah that sucked
