Damn, Nick, great work! Not where my interests lie, but I can still definitely appreciate your originality/ingenuity and skills as a fabricator. Looking forward to seeing the final product.
P.S. - - I'm sure you are planning on it, but I'd plate the crap out of the front shock hoop. I've never liked the idea of side-welding tubes like that, but if you can plate it all in it will be fine for what you're doing with it. Also, plate the rear coil spring area in around the entire frame, there's going to be a lot of force there, especially if you set the bumpstops up within that general area. I'm confident you've taken this into consideration already. Not trying to be an "I told you so," just my $0.02. Good work! |
boom yah!
|
Man that looks sweet!!
|
holy crap...that is friggin awesome! IRS RANGER, yo!
|

Wow.....that is all I got |
I saw that first picture and thought you'd be linking the rear for better take-offs, but I like the idea you're going with even better!
I don't want to take the time to count ring/pinion gear teeth... what gears are you getting? And where are the spider gears? Are you gonna lock/posi the rear? |
Damn dude that is totally bad assness!

Good work! the tubes are cut in half then laid against the frame. i think he is planning on running a tube down the center to the frame for more support. looks good Nick! I hear you had some trouble with the locker in the rear? |

looks good Nick! I hear you had some trouble with the locker in the rear? Yep, for some reason one of the active spacers decided to break... i havent even fully assembled the differential and parts are already breaking..... :paranoid: |
