damn.. so close to ours. we are going the next weekend

 

I know, you should just change it to the 16-19... hehe

 

Hmm ill try to talk my buddys into that...

 

Built a new engine crossmember thursday heres a few pics. Hoping to have links cut and set tmrw we will see.

 

Lower links are started tubing is just for mock up! havent cut the dom yet once its all mocked up and cycled then i will.
What are your guys opinions on running the upper link on the outside of the frame?
Heres some pics

 

So went and looked at the truck for about 4 hrs tonight and i thinkkkkk i have a plan.
Problem one is upper link mount to engine crossmember/side of frame clerance-im thinking i can just barley sneak the upper link in where i only have to do minimul trimming if any.
Problem two-trac bar and mounting it. Looks like the only place to fit it is in front of the draglink not to big of a deal but just gonna take some time making a mount beefy enough to handle the abuse.
Got a question also, where can i find some pitman arms for a ranger gearbox i need one close to flat or with about a 1'' to .5'' drop if i had this i could squeeze the trac bar between the draglink and axle if not i have clerance issues.
No pics for tonight hoping to get the upper link mocked in this weekend though.
Thanks

 

make sure you turn the tires and they dont hit those links. that would be my only concern on the lowers.

also i have no idea how you will beef up a panhard mount to go infront of the axle... that should be interesting.

 

They clear with the 37's at full lock. Ive seen a few builds with the panhard out front big gnarley mount lol.

 

yeah you are going to need one. lol

 

Somethin like this.http://pirate4x4.com/forum/showthrea...=plum+smuggler

 

What do you guys suggest for spring rates on my truck?
Trent fab said to go with a 250 over 400 just looking for more opinions?
Thanks

 

thats a wicked mount!

 

3 link is all mocked up coilovers are ordered just waiting to get my coilovers so i can get everything mocked up then cut my DOM and finish everything else.





And got some hair dryers a BOV and intercooler for free...

 

Well got a lil done today got the tunnel just about finished up finally just a lil more welding, the stupid thing fought the whole way!
Also double sheared the pass side knuckle for the steering links melted my new king pin bushing ... ooh well have to get another.
Talked to trent fab yesterday my coil overs were supposed to be here in 7-10 days and 10 days was last friday still no coilovers so called and now its 2-3 weeks so im hoping to have them next week.





Few pics of my new 08 450ER with my lawn tires on it lol

 

looking good, beef for sure. nice quad too

 

x2

I wanna see a burn out with that 4 wheeler!!

 

Thanks guys, it just pushes the front end with those tires lol hooks hard on pavement.
I figure if I'm buildin it I'm gonna over build it most of the brackets are all 3/8 thick haha.

 

 

16" ?

 

2.0x14

 

Very nice.

whats your main and your tender set at?

 

250/400

 

NOICE!!!

 

Bling!

 

Heck yea cant wait to get em mounted up.
Anyone have tips as far as mounting them they will be mounted on the back side of the truss and tipped in and back so as not to go past 90* when flexed/bumped thats what ive always read and been told.
Also got my tunnel all done today its 100% bolt on so tranny swaps will be real easy im happy its finally done!
