gussets, really unnecessary with that design, but way cool and it never hurts to overbuild.

And I always use wd40 and scotch bright (the red pads), then finish off with tranny fluid. I dont know if i'd do the tranny fluid if you're planning on painting it, i always did it on the race trucks like that cause we didnt paint any of the tubing.

 

Yup. Gussets. Way overkill (and way cool) but when it comes to my safety/life nothing is too overkill.

 

Dang White Ranger figured there couldn't be too many in that magazine lol

 

More! More!

 

Ok... I also got this stuff over the weekend... anybody that can guess what it is gets a cookie... lol

 

shock oil and valving shims...Oatmeal Raison will do just fine.

 

Those saddle gussets? You make them or buy them?

 

Well that was quicker than I thought... haha... Cookie is in the mail!

Yea it's a saddle gusset. It's actually a "Joes Tube Gusset" we used them on Teal Brute and I liked them so much I bought a bunch... I'll find a link later..

 

Figured I'd help you out Jason.

You would think someone who works for a magazine would know how to take full pictures!

 

Looks sweet Jason. I just bought a 2 year subscription to your magazine online btw, I'm tired of looking at it in Walmart lol

 

Nice! I see alot of progress. I feel bad now for not looking last night in this thread. Was worn out from my truck work.

We need more pics though!

 

If I posted the good photos on the internet I wouldn't have any for the magazine... duh! lol

Crazy huh...

Be sure to check out the website too... www.off-roadweb.com...

 

Anyway...

It's almost actually starting to look like a roll cage...
