60" standard ebd44 width

 

any up dates?

 

so whats going on?

 

Been so tied up with school its not even funny. After this week finals are over and I can finally finish her before she gets buried in snow.

The start of my new tranny Xmember all .25" wall





Coil buckets in, Welded and bolted cause C channel frames have a reputation for cracking welds when flexing.







Bud cut me out some tabs to move lower buckets forward a little, cause the coils were bowed a bit more than I was happy with



Mocked at ride height



Waiting for my 1 ton steering from Ballistic to come. Still have to: ream knuckles, burn in track bar, run new brake lines, finish tranny x member and install the steering when it finally comes.

 

you didnt exstend the radius arms?

 

Theyre extdended about an inch and a half to clear the wrist, but thats the point of a wrist, You dont have to extend them which loses you some clearance and you get the flex that you do with extended.

 

almost there, brakes have been a real bitc*
more pics soon

 

looks good. still got parts kickin around??? might want those old coils of yours..

 

Finally done! Drove her for the first time last night. Upgraded from working in my cold snowy driveway to my buddys heated barn. Trailered her there and banged the brakes out. Just need to trim the fenders, and get bumps and shocks in before shes ready for the trail.

 

damn dude that turned out really well. great job man!

 

sweet **** cant wait to see some action pics

 

^ couldnt agree more

turned out great! nicejob

 

Maiden trail voyage today, ready for 1 tons....









Did great all day, out crawled most of the group. Then I went to bump up a really technical 2 ledge crawl with the ledges spaced horribly for my wheelbase and the truck hopped and when it came down BANG! **** C Clips, such a *****. Got a spare shaft in in the rain and wheeled out but it confirmed its time for tons already.

 

i want your front axle

 

So much for the 8.8 holding up.

 

wow. that blows. but maybe its just that rear end. i mean you did use used parts. time for a beefy upgrade for you go to 1 tons.

 

X2 lol.

Get a 9 inch in the rear.

 

How much luggage can you put on that sweet roof rack?

Haha whatev wheeled it and it broke, live and learn

 

can i buy your front axle when you up grade

 

sure, not sure when it will be out and I will have an asking price but you can have first dibs

 

thats fine i need to start saving pm me a price and what all im going to be getting plz so i can start saving

 

I really cant right now, as I have no idea when I will sell it, what I will keep/ what will be broken by then. Basically dont hold your breath. I'll probably run it all summer as I build up 1 ton stuff

 

alright man that gives me time to save and a winter project is always nice

 

Probably alot more then your rear axle can hold.
You dont have to be a dick i stated that the 8.8 was gonna blow up when you started. And you claimed it would be fine and what do you know it blew up which isnt suprising there weak axles get a 9 in or 14 bolt or d-70 or somthin then you can say that they will not blow out.

 

i dont think he was trying to be a dick i think he was thinking w.e **** happens
