so how much did the James Duff parts cost the "kit"? if you dont mind me asking

 

You know it. Yeah, we just missed each other at Uwharrie that one time and at the Farm I saw you but never ran in to you.

We'll have to set up a Uwharrie trip when it opens up. I plan on making it back to DPG and the Flats too.

 

Never saw this build until recently! Looks like fun man! You've done some sweet work on that thing!

Looks like it's time for high steer!

 

I plan on riding out to the DPG ride next Saturday. Never been down there and want to check it out. Should be fun.

 

The "kit" isnt out yet. Have to buy the pieces seperately. Everything is listed on there website except the track bar bracket and shock hoops. No eta on the shock hoops as there still in the working stages but the track bar bracket is in production. Call and ask for Brad and tell him Trevor sent you if you need one.

 

Did the poor mans high steer aka moved the tie rod otk. Also got some poly bushings that go in place of the dust boots on the tre's to stop the tie rod roll. Fixed the slight dead spot it had in the steering.



Has to put the stock pitman arm back on to keep the drag link and track bar angles the same. Hows this for geometry? Looks pretty close to me. lol



Been driving it daily. Rides like a cadillac now. I am very pleased with it. Nice and firm, no bump steer what so ever, doesnt sway, and tracks straight as an arrow.

Also picked up the Vision X led rock lights brand new still in the box for a killer deal so I said what the hell. Why not.



Made up some little brackets to mount all the lights just a little bit ago and going to try to get them all put on tomorrow.

 

Is Duff goin to offering that steering stuff as well?

 

I always wanted a set of those lights just to see how they do.

Ready to give it hell at DPG?

 

very nice

 

No. Here is the steering kit I got.

Im hoping ill be able to go. Definitely want to but may have to work. You going to be there?

 

I'm there, just gotta get an inspection and get my tags straight.

 

I want those lights!! Can't wait to see them one.

 

Well messed with the doubler a little bit this past weekend. Its tight without a body lift and you not able to clock the rear case up any without cutting a big hole in the floor.





Test fit



Had to trim the body crossmember a little bit and grind a piece off the t-case.




Started making the shifters


2 hi


4 low


4 double low


Going to try to get some more done on it this weekend.

 

Damn, that's so sick!

 

Final crawl ratio now will be 111:1 compared to the 38:1 it had with the old ttb junk. Should be flippin sweet.

 

This thing is a beast!!

 

Nice work on the doubler.

What's the plan for driveshafts?

 

Just cut them down and extend them for now. See how it holds up. If it breaks them ill get a good thick wall set made.

 

Doubler is in. I officaly have a mall crawler now. It will definitely crawl and it temporarily 2wd until I get to build the trans crossmember.

Got it all in today and make the shift handles. Double low is badass. Cant wait to get it out and do some wheeling.

Had to get the bfh out on the floorboard.


Got room for it now.


Shifters and double boot. Still got to cut the shifters to length and thread them for some ***** so dont mind them yet.


2 high


4 double low








Going to run to Napa tomorrow and see about getting a new longerspeedometer cable so the speedo will work again.

 

nice man build me one now plz

 

Very nice

 

( . Y . )'s!

 

Well was about to order a set of chromo shafts for the front the other day and ran across this for a deal. ARB for the d44. Got it from bronco2guy. Going to save up a little more cash and get some chromo axles next.

Came in the mail today.


Also got a new speedo cable from Napa today. Stock one was too short with the doubler. Its for a 91 Aeroster and has the same ends and is about 8" longer. Works prefect.

Shows how much longer the stock.

 

nice man keep this **** going i love it
